Nooooooo!!! I canāt find my other 808 D:
3 Loop1080 pairs
2 Loop900 pairs
3 Spingear Fireball pairs
1 Unleashed Pair
1 Raider EX pair [modded by jrodriguez]
welpā¦ Iām jellyā¦ (Ā¬_Ā¬)
His mainstyle is 2a though so that makes senseā¦ If those were 1a throws thatād be average if not less xD
What he said. Iām basically stocking up on a wide variety of 2A pairs in case any of them break :] 1080s are my daily yoyos at the moment though.
1080ās are nice. Iād have a pair instead of 808ās, but it was 1 1080 or 2 808āsā¦ Kinda the deal breaker
Well, you better start saving up for a pair of 1080s. If you could afford $100 1A yoyos, Iām sure you can get a pair of loopers for half the price 
But all seriousness though, Iām thinking of messing with different string types just to see how it feels. I currently use 50/50 slick and I like the feel. But Iāve heard good things about 100% polyester too, so Iāmā curiousā¦
Itās funny, Iāve only accumulated the funds for a mighty flea. My only +$100 for 1A is a ILYY x OD Sakura, and it was a gift. But I will most certainly save for some 1080s now that one of my 808s is lost XP
I mean, Iāll get there eventually 
I just realized that the loopers that are designated for my left hand have a tendency to loosen or even come apart. I donāt know if itās my loops or the yoyo, but itās kinda bugging me. Iāve already put plumberās tape on the axles so it doesnāt come apart all at once.
I donāt know why itās only happening on my left hand loopers too.
Am I catching the yoyo incorrectly? Or what am I doing wrong. Hmm.
Honestly canāt say. Maybe something to do with the direction of spin and regeneration and all that technical stuff.
I know when doing a lot of loops the string unwinds (reversed from right handed loops where the string will tighten)
But it actually falling apart is odd. It could have something to do with pinching more with the ring finger when you let go. I guess if it has enough grip it could do a little tug. Then a little more, until it comes apart all together. Put thatās an āout-thereā theory, because axles shouldnāt come apart with something as little as your ring finger tugging on itā¦ :-\
I have a feeling now that I catch the yoyo only one one side so one side could be stopped spinning but thereās still enough force for the other half to loosen up even just a bit. I donāt know if that makes senseā¦
Either way Iāll have to work on catching my yoyo correctly on my left hand so it feels natural.
Ok, maintenance problem here. My raider is getting really squeakyā¦the only way I could put it. Squeaky. When I try to throw it hard down, it comes right back up. The only way I can get it to sleep is to throw a forward Around the World. And it squeaks when I do that. A LOT. Help?
Maybe a bearing problem? I canāt visualize what you meanā¦ Probably a video would help if possible. 'Cause I donāt know what you mean by it squeakingā¦
Have you also checked the string tension? Too tight of a tension gives the yoyo more to grab that itāll just go back to your hand.
It goes on and off. Kinda like a one drop ten ball bearing being loud and then quiet, if you have one. By squeaking I mean a really high pitched sound when sleeping. Thatās the best I can describe it as. Just think of an animal squeaking, and there you go.
Bought some thick lube, hopefully my loopers will perform like they used to again.
Hmmā¦thatās odd. That could be the bearing. Try cleaning them the usual bearing-cleaning technique and put on some lube. I donāt know whatās happening, but heyā¦at least itās something!
@tschneider, let us know how the loopers feel when you finally put some lube in.
Speaking of which, I donāt remember if youāve posted on this thread beforeā¦but what loopers do you use?
Iāll try adding some lube.
