I received a Paolista and a Superstar Pivot on the same day a while back. (Great mail day, right?!)
Anyway…I’ve noticed that I have to throw them a little differently for a good level throw.
Mainly during a breakaway, I angle my wrist a little different to make sure its a good level throw.
I’m newer at this, so I’m wondering, is this a common experience?

It’s normal. Yoyo characteristics such as shape, weight and weight distribution affect how a yoyo plays. Each one will probably play a little different. Shape and weight really determine the weight distribution.

Ok good to know. It’s interesting to see how differently these two play.
