Do you have a lot of Hummingbirds? I recently started collecting them. I think they’re great, and they look amazing! Heres what i have so far. ![20231007_004827](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/f/4/b/f4bb51fb64a441c856df26879fb687bb28df7eab.jpeg) ---

I have a few - during a couple of early shows I would have away Hummingbird seconds (now called b-grades) to everyone at the event. Only have a few of these left. Still have the gold award Hummingbirds and a sweatshirt that was won during two different contests. Then a few years back a collector attended a show and brought a box filled with Hummingbirds and gave them to me. He discovered I started with Hummingbirds growing up. ---

Happy Friday! Todays FAF discussion: I think that the Pro-Z/Wood-Z shape is underutilized and under-explored. It’s a simple shape and yet is comfortable, holds excellent stalls with that high wall and has plenty of catch zone. This ratio of width to diameter makes it flip like a coin. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/7/0/d/70d336e3fbdfe50ae41cb26044d4f82c7afdcb17.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/8/f/d/8fd807e59befb036f56e9f527437a041f3004e72.jpeg) ---
