I’ve been wanting to start a thread for one of the best yoyoers and general content and product creators out there. This isnt just limited to the MC and MCMO but can include other yoyos and his many different types of strings.

 ![20220111_144657](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/1/3/4/134adb53c798811a67e61bf6f4d4fdc9fb6404a7.jpeg)

Markmont. Classic Magnum Opus (Left)

- brass ultra-lights
- One Drop flat bearing
- Markmont. Formulas Dragon string

I love the brownish, pink/purple fade on this one and how it gives it a maroon and dark purple look when spinning (see above). The brass ULs not only look great but the added center weight make it excessively floaty.

 ![20220111_144405](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/b/5/2/b52b24a1d0abf54148d6cf6123cc5dea9078b771.jpeg)

One Drop Markmont. Classic (Right)

- purple ultra-lights
- concave bearing
- Markmont. Formulas Cumulus Foam

I tend to favor both monochrome yoyos as well as purple yoyos, so this one works out nicely. This set up is light and zippy. I like to use this one to learn new tricks since it seems to spin forever. The neon yellow string also looks amazing with purple.

What are your favorite setups?

How I’ve had it for as long as I can remember. Just recently got an NSK bearing for it.

Anyone know what kind of string this might be? It’s nylon and not too bouncy. Also anyone tried the kitty string fat nylon?

Can’t decide between spikes or flats.

If your looking for opinions, I like the spikes. They seem to flow better with the lines of the throw. I believe the weight is very close between the two.

2x MCMO: pink-clear fade with rasberry flatcaps and pixel bearing on zipline skyline III vs. Solid Black with clear ultralights and 10-ball flat bearing on zipline prestige. I like both of them but a mcmo in a classic color with ul, flat bearing and a white string got a certain magic I can’t deny.
