Imagine this, tomorrow is ‘Worlds’ and you’re competing. What would your competition set of choice be?
A few quick guidelines:
1. 3 or 4 yoyos (one to play and 2/3 spare), they don’t necessarily need to be the same, although most people choose them to be so because switching to a differently playing yoyo mid-routine probably isn’t a good idea.
2. This isn’t an “in an ideal world” where you’re still in school but would choose 4 Anglams or 4 Dazzlers, but you, right now, with your current finances and the current level of yoyo availability.
Personally, I’m still undecided. I’ll post up my answer after I give it some more thought but I’d love to hear yours.
I think the list should be restricted to yoyos you personally own. We have to rely on the honor system here. I’ve also seen people come up with a mixed bag of yoyos all over the price spectrum and materials too.
So, if I had to pick 4, there’s no too many I have enough repeat ones to make a set of 4, and if I had to do that, I would have to go with Classics or DM2’s.
But, if i was competing:
Anglam
Phenom(Nickel with gold rings)
Phenom(Black with nickel ring)
Equilateral
And if I were to go to 6:
Freq.Wav
Toss-up between OG Octave, Chief and stock Code 2.
I don’t do horizontal, but if I did, I might swap out a few models. Electric Flash stands out, as does the YYJ Titan 3 to me.
If it was 2A: Unleashed. I got 8 of them, no need to mix it up.
3A: I don’t do 3A, but I have pairs set up with Classics and could do Speedaholics.
If I had to do more, I could use Shutters or get another PSG Gem and PSG. I’d most likely go PSG Gem.
4A: Jet Set(red rings), Jet Set(Grey rings), Jet Set EC, Fiesta XX.
5A: Not much for me here. I have my Destiny with the Takeshi dice set up for it, and a Classic set up for it. I’d probably just set up a few more of my Classics as I find my Pinnacle to be too light for my preferences. Could also use my B-grade f(x).
I don’t think it needs to be restricted to ones that you already own if you have enough money to go out and buy a set. I don’t own more than 2 of any yoyo, but when I start competing I might pick up some duplicates.
