I hope this doesn’t count as necro-ing.  
I’m trying to start 2A with a pair of ProZs.  
I can’t get shoot the moon, the yoyo only goes up half-way.

Alright, I’m getting better at looping. I just wanted to share a simple mod with you guys.  
I had a pair of ProZs and a Fireball. 1 of the ProZs were sadly overtightened, so I took the spacers and bearing and put them in my fireball. It works like a charm, and you basically got a raider ^.^

I haven’t checked this thread in a while. This time, I’m now working full time at a state hospital at day and going to school at night. Yeah, sorry about that.

Xiaoxiao, you gotta be careful though… sometimes the Fireball may not play so well because the gap may not be so narrow. But if it works, it works. I still suggest get yourself more 2A pairs to make learning better for ya.

As for me, I’m finally working on my milk the cow and so far so good. I like it :]

808’s petty good IMO. But they have a response pad, so that’ll have to be replaced accordingly.

I remember a time early last year when 808s were getting really high praise, even higher than the 1080s probably

Turns out I don’t need 808s. I finally got 2 Prozs to double loop. I have done 5 duble loops total. So the road to 2a begins!

Just bought 6 more pairs of loop1080s to up my inventory a little bit. I think as of right now I have 10 pairs total.  
That doesn’t include the Raiders, Fireballs, Vortex, and LPs that I have.

Milk the cows have been looking really good lately too :]

I haven’t been here in a while, sorry guys. I’m too busy with school and work that the least I do is practice by myself without dropping by here.

Hi guys.im a newbie to yoyo and 2A style. im really motivated after reading all these post here in this thread. currently im only just able to do 20 inside loops with my dominant hands and and 3 inside loops with the other.

just started yoyoing for a week now. i dont know why but looping is sooo addictive,that currently im practicing 1A tricks less n less :D.

Plan to other a pair of loop 1080 tomorow and 50x50 strings. is 1080 a good looper for a total newbie like me ?. i saw a lot of good reviews about it here.

Thanks a lot everyone for all your postings and useful insights in this thread ;D. Will love to read more of it.

Cheers,
