Jojo 1978. A toy that is thrown from the hand and kept spinning as long as possible. The toy has been manufactured in Sweden by Elfversons träsvarveri under the name Kalmartrissan since 1932. A yo-yo (also spelled yoyo) is a toy consisting of an axle connected to two disks, and a string looped around the axle, similar to a spool. It is played by holding the free end of the string known as the handle (by inserting one finger—usually the middle or ring finger—into a slip knot), allowing gravity (or the force of a throw and gravity) to spin the yo-yo and unwind the string (similar to how a pullstring works). The player then allows the yo-yo to wind itself back to the player's hand, exploiting its spin (and the associated rotational energy). This is often called yo-yoing or playing yo-yo
