2A Discussion Thread

Ok like on an unresponsive yoyo the string always is on the finger side of the yoyo. But with loopers the string changes sides each throw should the string be on the same side on each yoyo at the same time. Hope that made
More sense.

Oh, I know what you mean now. If you’re doing your loops properly it should flip 180degrees each time and it shouldn’t affect where the string lands.

But to answer your question, the right way when the string is always on the finger side of the yoyo. If you bring your looper back and the string’s at an opposite position, you need to work on your loops until that doesn’t become an issue anymore.

Just like how a sleeper/gravity pull doesn’t feel right if it’s wound to the opposite direction, loops also suffer the same way.

Now that you guys mention it, I’ve noticed most of the time when I mess up its because of that


I’m working on looping with my left hand
 and failing.

If you recognize you’re failing, then you’re on the path to succeeding.

Keep at it. I’ve been working on it for over a year, still not making the progress I’d like to be making, yetr I still try. Some days I can’t even loop with my left hand.

Try. Try. Try. You will improve.

If you feel like giving up, watch this video.

These are words of wisdom.
I will post this video every two weeks as a reminder to all of us.

Don’t ever give up.

to be honest, I’m not almost there, I’m not even halfway there xD

And nobody’s really cheering me on to get better at 2a, but nice video haha

You got this! Don’t give up!

New photos of the LP straight from Mickey’s Instagram.
SkyHighYo, I think you got your wish; the LP logo is a little smaller! :]. Looks better, IMO.

Indeed I didn’t mean to make it seem like I made that up. Just not been feeling good lately and my mind is elsewhere.

Haha no wasn’t acusing you! I saw you quote him in another thread a few days ago. Thats the only way I knew that.

looks like he took the whole logo and shrank it. I think it does indeed look better how it looks now, but I think the “LP” could be smaller compared to the spirals. Or maybe it’s the font that bothers me, or the backwards P. Idk. I mean it looks waaaay better now, but that logo doesn’t feel 100% polished to me.

edit:

Looking at it some more
 I can understand that the new look is more final product worthy
 But if the LP is still the same size in ratio with the spirals, I’d rather have the original design. I think “Something by Yoyoaddict” has always sounded tacky (shoot me I know) and Designed in Japan Made in China
 eh
 I could do without all that.

Lose the swirls on that new LP, it just makes it look overly buy, or have those done in different colors to contrast against the LP logo.

I actually like the swirls behind the LP logo. It looks like the elipses made whenever you make a loop. Very fitting for a looping yoyo. Though I agree that the LP lettering would’ve looked nicer if it was smaller in scale compared the swirls


I think Mickey was going for that Apple-style feel with the inclusion of the “designed in Japan/made in China” bit.

But none of that matters. All I care about is if it’s a good yoyo.

Okay, done speculating.

Speaking of new yoyos, yoyomonster. is also coming up with a new yoyo called the “Crook”.
Not much is known about the yoyo itself, but video below

Interesting! :slight_smile: That video was nice

Glow in the dark Loop1080!! Coming early November.
