So during the day I only bring one throw with me and use it when ever i get a spare chance. I always tend to grab my wm2 when heading out.

However when i get home to my humble collection (now 10…another on the way!) I seem to throw all of them over the course of the evening. pic one up toss it for 5 or 10 mins…take a break but switch throws when i play again. Am I on an island with this behavior or do alot of you typically rotate through them?

I will say, I have 2 throws I prefer most when learning new tricks but thats the exception.

Yep, every day I take a different throw to work and I now have a wall case with 15 throws in it that I can switch if the mood takes me. Gotta keep it fresh 🙂

I tend to throw a lot of different yo-yos at work (part of the job right?) but when I get home I usually just pick one and don’t switch around too much once it’s out.

When I’m at home I will set out 3 throws and start with my favorite of those 3  
I will play it untill I get a knot usually or take a break then I will switch  
Once all 3 get knotted I will sit down and untie them all  
Then start the order over.

And you may ask why I get knotted so often?  
Well, I’m just knot good enough knot to lol

yes, and this is a large part of why I have actually enjoyed yoyoing a lot more since selling the vast majority of my throws. i spend more time playing with my toys than debating which one to switch to

I will usually bring my Metal Drifter out places since I don’t mind it kissing the pavement, but I just got my DMII in the mail that I now plan to use outside since I’ve become proficient at binds.

At home, I can never keep the same throw on my finger for longer than 30 minutes 😛 I always get some work out of my different yoyos, though I’ve been using my CLYWs more frequently, but I always switch throws once in a while.

I switch out throws all the time when I’m at home. Usually I swap out when I knot. I just can’t not throw every yoyo I have during a session.

I used to switch a lot during day, but it changed lately. When I yo-yo at home, I just use Nifty 95% of time. And on the go, I just stick with YYJ Classic and Duncan Pro-Z with fixed axle,.

I tend to play with 1-2 models the whole year. I remember for a stretch of 3 years, I would only play with one yoyo.

I’m curious which two they are.

I’m all over the place on this one. It depends on what day it is. Some days I feel like throwing something specific, and I go right for that one, and stick to it. Other days, I switch up, and I’ll throw several in the same yo-yo session.

Switching it up is a good thing I feel.  
I can go through half a case of throws in a day just messing around with different feeling yoyos.

More frequently than you change your socks. What? Wait! You change your socks every …STOP! To much information! My apologies, let’s not go there. :🙂
