I mean they’re not wrong. The RSO Droid is certainly upwards of 20 dollars. I can’t wait to try one and then chuck it in the river because of 4A. I’m also disappointed in myself for using the wrong string gauge, but it doesn’t matter since I’m switching to 4A.
That’s actually the secret to winning at worlds… you just chuck a stringless Ti or Bi-Metal hard enough at the judge in order to knock them out and you write down whatever score you feel is appropriate…
I’ll hook you up Doc, 500 Fireballs for your collection. Offer only good for 24 hours. I’d toss in a Yomega Brain but it would lopside it in your favor a bit too much.
Ok, so I get that articles like this are intended to prey on the ignorant, written by people who know nothing about their topic and whose research is usually extremely lazy, but where did the author pick up the ideas about string numbers?
“Yo-yo strings come in different thicknesses, such as types 6, 8 and 9.”
Where did they even scrape info like that from? Did that used to be a thing?
Interesting! I just learned something from a clickbait article! (Well maybe not from the article but from this forum after questioning the article.)
But then there’s the Type 9 string they mention. If Type 6 is three strands doubled, Type 8 is four strands doubled, what is Type 9? Four and a half strands doubled?
