Hey guys, I want a good fixed axle yoyo. I think they are fun. I don’t want a wooden axle though. I have a profly that I got as a beginning looper yoyo, and I liked it, til I tried to throw down hard to get through a triple or nothing and I broke the loop on the bottom of the string. I thought it was just a worn out string, so I put on a new one, bam broke again with a hard throw.
so pretty much I want a fixed axle, not wood throw, so I can throw down hard without breaking a string.
What kind of string were you using? Cotton 8 or slick 8 work good. Poly, not so good. Cotton will wear after a bit.
Bad axle - check it and see. Take it apart and check for roughness. If it looks rough use a string to smooth it a bit. Wrap a loop of string around it leaving about a foot on each end. grab the ends and pull on each alternatively to slide the string through the gap.
