Boy things have really changed. Needing some advice about tuning up some older yo-yos. I’ve got a Dif-E-Yo sportster, wide sportster, YoYoJam Hitman, Speeder, Lyn-fury, Oxy 4, Freehands’ and some Buzz-on that wooble and a few more I can’t remember. I bought a Shutter and boy have things gotten better. Any advice is advice is appreciated.

Thanks

Hey Rockdog200, good to see you back. In a lot of respects, what you have is still good, but then what do I know.

i would suggest watching alot of old yoyonews videos to get caught up on what has happened.

also this site is great for tutorials: [http://www.rethinkyoyo.com/](http://www.rethinkyoyo.com/)

look around to the bunches of different companies that have come about in the past few years.

Also look at the other threads that people have made about coming back, there is some good info in those.

WOW. Welcome back!

Check out [http://www.yoyonews.com](http://www.yoyonews.com) to get a feel for what’s happening at the moment. There are a ton of fantastic yoyos in the $40 - $60 price range these days that outplay just about everything from&nbsp; back in the day. The equipment now is crazy, but then so are the tricks so…yeah.
