So these logos are different sizes right? Do we know exactly what distinguishes the releases from each other? I got a large logo with white axle 2nd run.

The black caps with the smaller logo was a good move.

Today I’m getting to know these new Zipline cottons, the Regs V86.2 and the Thick V85.2. Will have to see how they compare to trusty [YYE Type 10](https://shop.yoyoexpert.com/products/100-count-100-cotton-yoyoexpert-string).

Seen a few people throwing fixed axle counterweight lately so decided to give it a shot. Mostly just messing with weird stall dismounts and switching hands, but having fun so far!

@French @Mystik Yeah it’s one I made - I think I’ve shared it somewhere here before - Just felt right to throw a wood counterweight with a fixed axle.

My fixed-axle 5A was short lived… At least nothing broke, time to get the glue lol.

Is this happening because 5A requires harder throws in an attempt to get more spin time/power out of it? Something that maybe these weren’t really designed for? Just speculating out loud… :thinking:

Yes. This is sad and unfortunate.

I don’t do 5-0A on my precious woodens anymore. Way too risky. Not worth it at all.  
Now, I’m using a Duncan Wheels for 5-0A. It has served me well.

Ah, yeah, that’s why I only practice 5A with plastic yoyos. Maybe if I ever get good enough to not have to worry about floorsmash so much I’ll switch over to metal (or wood) yoyos.
