IMHO, you need both to pull out the full potential of your yoyo.
your advice is legit though.

So, doing trick is all we can do.
I think longest sleep time still matters to some. Why in the world YYF make the BK2?
There is still a longest sleeping record, but no longest trick time yoyo.
But hardly any people think its important right now.
even for me.
but i do respect people that try so hard just to say;
“my kickside spin longer than yours”
awesome IMO.

kids and beginners care about sleep times, YYF cares about kids and beginners
plus, braking some record makes up for good news and articles about the company/model
it’s just marketing
no offense intended here, I see myself as a beginner too

practice, nothing else as far as I know
the move must be straight and accurate, and this only becomes regular with practice, the more you throw, the better you throw, it’s like driving a car, when you begin, you can’t really drive very well, then after some years, eventually, it’ll become natural

Hmm maybe some milk and a bed time story might help it sleep better
