I’m looking at a Arctic Circle right now. And I am afraid that it might be too grabby for my liking. Yet again I do use ammo and plutonium. But how does it feel?

Yoyos that snag are mainly because of the string and the pads (and bearing).

If the pads come too grippy, they an can be broken in and less responsive over time. Meanwhile use a thinner/older string. Or change the pads

If the string is too thick, simply change string.

Also grooved/flat bearings tend to snag. Then change to a CT or KK

Yeah. I don’t like thin string which is the problem. It’s used so hopefully it’s really broken in 🙂
