I know there is a daily throw thread, but I didin’t see one dedicated for Fixed Axle Fridays. Today I’m going to be trowing a Duncan ProFly and ProYo. Lets see some pics ![ProFly%20ProYo](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/8/4/1/8415389d3074b6cbfbbee6ea7dc5341dd3dce95c.jpeg) ---

I learned Around the World and Forward Pass on the Butterfly (3 years ago) but modern yoyos have spoiled me so much that I can’t do much with fixed axle and would need a lot of practice to work ‘em. ---

Hey guys…I have a fixed axle Legend but it feels so lie compared with my Gamer? Are there heavier feeling wood fixed axles better weighted than the Legend? I could sure try one if I knew? ---

Yeah there are absolutely heavier ones and @anon5341354 can get you set up with one, but it really comes down to your fixed axle play style. Fixed has kinda taken on its own identity now where tricks don’t necessarily mirror regular 1a, so lots of fixed fans prefer lighter models, myself included. Works well for stalls, regens, flips, and stuff like that. All that being said, doing 1a tricks on a wooden yoyo is still a fun challenge so if that’s what you like, then maybe a heavier model would suit you well ---

I personally love the white oak Harbinger. It weighs in at about 58g but it feels so good to use. ---

No problem, just bé aware it will cost a bit because the plastic is expensive. ---

Today I’m throwing the YYF Legend Wing. Nice and snappy. Hopefully @YOHANS will contiune the Confusion series with a plastic fix axle Confusion, that would be sweet for modern responsive play. ![Legend%20Wing%20Lunar](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/4/2/a/42a126210818bc52645c8eab66163f6e8ccfcd4a.jpeg) ![YYF%20Legend%20Wing](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/8/4/9/849b27963271cfa9e0ddd1fcfdfaf27df9f3c2ef.jpeg) ---

That is a great photo of a fun yoyo! Thanks for posting that. The Legend series was built to connect modern players to the golden era of yoyo play. The Filipinos were innovators in the one-piece design guaranteeing a precise string gap. The wood axle helped generate high rpm and reliable response. If we did a modern plastic fixed axle it would have to employ a wooden axle. Plenty of plastic fixed axle designs in history with metal axles that simply left the player wishing for a wooden yoyo. Wood is the heart and soul of a good fixed axle. ---
