What fun is a counterweight that doesn’t make you wince when you whack yourself in the back of the hand…or head? :thinking:

Oh by the way full disclaimer, I just saw those photos on FB not mine or anything.

At the moment I am using a bouncy ball as I learn 5a basics so I can’t relate to the whacking just yet 🙂

Same here.

And it’s not just my hands that I want to protect from the counterweight…it’s the yoyo too.
