Counter weights

General Yo-Yo
1

Do your make your own or bye them does it really make that big of a deal? I make mine. :slight_smile:

2

I donā€™t make mine. I use a Duncan Bouncy Ball Counter-Weight on my Plastic Grind Machine. Works extremely well in my opinion.

3

I use a lego tireā€¦ I just tried it once and worked well so now itā€™s my Fav.

4

I use my homemade dice counterweight.

5

I believe dryoyo does it best:

6

I make my own counter wights out of poker chips. Iā€™ve heard you can use chess pieces too.

Keep it spinningā„¢

7

I just use the ones that come with yoyos like:freehand,flying squirrel,etcā€¦

8

LOL.  :smiley: :smiley:

I wanted to try freehand so bad so I just tightend the string around a dieā€¦ Yeahā€¦ That didnā€™t work. Almost killed my catā€¦ Too bad I missed. But I have an old casino stye die I drilled a hole through. Im gonna drill a hole through my 20 sider from DnD sooner or laterā€¦ Iā€™ve wanted to use a bouncy ball, and I think Im going to use a poker chip like Robert2393. (J/k bout killin the kitty btw)

10

Iā€™ve contemplated drilling my D20 from DnD, but I donā€™t think I willā€¦

11

As long as itā€™s not extremly big or the weight is uneven in different parts I believe you can use almost anything. I wonder what would happen if you use ANOTHER yoyo? jajaja Thatss going to be awsome

ā€œ6A: 1 string, 2 yoyos! Double the fun!ā€

12

How would some one go about throwing that?

There ya goā€¦ Sorry bout the bad wordsā€¦

13

fixed ::slight_smile:

please keep this forum clean.

14

I was thinking more along these lines:

Maybe Iā€™m just crazy :stuck_out_tongue:

15

Thank you bones.

16

I use Duncan Die or the bouncy ballsā€¦ I donā€™t throw much 5a though.

17

I found a bouncy ball in the house and impaled it with a screwdriver until I couldnā€™d do so anymore. Then I found a drill bit and drilled a hole. I used my bare hands but thats not safe. You should at least be wearing gloves.

18

Whoops sorry guysā€¦ But reallyā€¦ How would some one go about throwing that?

19

I never thought of making my own counterweights before, iā€™m going to try it!

20

Hate to bring up an old thread but I just tried to 5A using a yoyo as a counter weight. Did not workā€¦ I think it was because the yoyo was too heavy. So I went down and got a dollar store yoyo and ripped out the brain and lights and it still didnā€™t work to wellā€¦ So, I goofed around and used my Aguariusā€¦ Hehe. That was weird, the CW being beigger than the yoyo.

  Good luck to anyone else who tries
