Yoyo reviewers compare a yoyo to another yoyo that seems obscure or not mentioned much. How does that help me?

Yo-yoing over anything other than grass or carpet give me anxiety lol

You got the first ding out of the way, now you can rip it without worry.

Normally I’d agree, but I was trying to decide if I was going to keep it or not by playing with it a bit…So far I like the guitarist much much better.
Kind of took a hit on the resale there.

…I realize it’s not the yoyo, it’s me. With my UNPRLD Recognition I have come to find that I do better with it playing it slower. Maybe when I play faster I get sloppier but with this one I find slower gives me nice tight binds whereas faster gives me weak binds which is not often the case with pretty much any other yoyo. Anyone else feel this way about the Recognition? I’m sure it’s just me…

Not the Recognition specifically, but with some other yoyos.

But why? I don’t understand why…

I haven’t figured it out, either.
The best I can hypothesize is it’s about how much string I end up feeding into the gap. When we’re going slower, maybe we can feel that “clutch catch” more easily and consistently. Whereas when we’re going faster we rely on muscle memory which may be influenced by having thrown other yoyos that need less string in the gap to bind.
Maybe?

I meant why do some yoyos just work better when played slower in general? I have heard some reviewers say some yoyos are not meant for speed etc. Eh, I gotta go to work now. Happy New Year everyone!

My guess would be more friction from less accurate play. That is, more yo-yo string rubs against the catch zone when you’re playing fast because the string lands there more while when you’re playing slower, you’re more accurate and the string lands on the bearing / much closer to it more often, leading to less friction and loss of spin.
I hate it when a new string is exactly the same diameter as the hole in the Duncan bouncy ball counterweight and I have to fiddle it through.

i use a paper clip. if you can make a bend at the end very small, you can use it to hook the string and pull it through. tricky to get the clip hook small enough, but once you do, you have made a very useful tool
enjoy the throw
