I don’t have an offstring yoyo (or money to buy one…) but I ordered a speed maker and I’d like to see if it’s not to hard with one… ---

I ordered one of them too. Yes, it is easier with a Dark Magic. André Boulay actually uses it in some of his videos. To reduce damage, try only to do it over carpet or grass. ---

Thanks again that’s really encouraging (and I’ll stay on grass too) :wink: ---

Yeah, he covered it. When I had a Dark Magic, I used it often for offstring. I traded that away, but I use a Spinfaktor HG (somewhat similar to a Speeder minus the metal rims and shape but whatever) and it works fine for me. If you can get good with a smaller yoyo, it’ll be much easier when you get a bigger one. (Aquarius, Bigyo, Hayabusa, Flying Panda, etc.) ---

That’s true as well but I think I’ll like it I’ll wait till christmas I’ll be satisfied untill then.like he said too it’s better to practice w/ a smaller one first.
