A-rt and other bearingized woods!

I have the Woodboy, the Peon, and two Spinworthys, all with the Cabal guts.

My favorite as an unresponsive is the Woodboy, but they are all fun and surprisingly capable!

The cool thing about the Cabal guts in a wood yoyo, is that since the wood where the hub sits is a bit thicker, it’s possible to swap in a 1/2 spec bearing without any modification. When I’ve tried it, the 1/2 spec in this setup plays better than other 1/2 spec setups I’ve tried.

The Cypress pine I have from @Glenacius_K is a fantastic yoyo set up this way! Definitely my favorite of the 4, but of course a bit of apples to oranges, to compare to the others as unresponsives. Show some wooden yoyos you've made

The Woodboy is also a lot of fun with the 1/2 spec.

To me the little bit a vibe they makes them seem a little alive, or like little machines with motors in them. For certain things you might be working on, especially where you need to know how fast the yoyo is spinning, it gives you better feedback.

If you like experiencing deferent yoyoing sensations, a bearingized wood is a nice addition.
