Yeah mate! There are four throws in my collection I will never relinquish. Someone will have to pry them from my cold dead giant hands. Two of them were pried from your warm Australian hands!

I still can get my no-jive to jive right. Always either too responsive or not responsive enough. ---

@TheThrowingGnome Thanks, I did finally get this OG maple TMBR Baldwin tuned up and back to responding with a little more snap after replacing the axle. For only weighing in at 53 grams it definitely plays with a little punch.

> [@adamantiumpops](#): > > It was a sad day when you confirmed you’re not making yoyos for export any longer. That was my intention, but very soon after I stopped, I had several people wanting me to make them yoyos and Ive been finding it hard to persistently say no. One of the requests was for a small batch of a potential signature plastic unresponsive yoyos for a well-known player. I’m still prototyping that one. ---

> [@adamantiumpops](#): > > I still can get my no-jive to I borrowed one of the Ed ‘play simply’ no-jives from a friend. I found the response to be pretty poor. It all hinges on whatever axle you have in it I think. I made some about fraction narrower from a different wood and they respond much better. ---

I’m looking forward to anything you may have coming down the road. I wasn’t going to bug you about turning a new yoyo, to respect your choice to pursue other things, but this definitely has me a bit excited to hear. I’ve bought/sold/traded a ton of stuff since getting into yoyo, and I only have two regrets for things I’ve gotten rid of, and one of those regrets is getting rid of a beater. After trying several other responsives, it’s still the best one I’ve had the pleasure of throwing. ---

I just started throwing at the beginning of the year, and hadn’t given enough time to responsive play to really appreciate a good fixie yet. So at the time I just preferred my alleycat to the few fixies I’d played, just because of how much more forgiving it felt. My preferences have definitely shifted a lot the better I’ve gotten. ---

Today I’m Freehand inspired and thought about going to my roots with a vintage Duncan Wheels. Legend has it, that modified Wheels from this era were @unklesteve 's and the Duncan Crew’s inspiration for what would become the Original Freehand. At 61 grams and for those who know; these really Slap. These were definitely my go to when I initially got into yoyo, they were just robust, relatively available and affordable which makes for a great combination for that kid who would skate around the neighborhood with one in the pocket. This one has the 5 spoke cap and plays great on cheap bulk poly. ![20211001_090025](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/4/c/a/4ca2d063347ebaf95402d8eec48836439e2b3983.jpeg) ![20211001_090054](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/7/5/d/75d78d82a0abf5ac1f57d42c63d703c7fe2fb72b.jpeg) ---

There’s GOTTA be more than three of us today. Rocking this little undersized beauty from @anon5341354 not sure if it has a name? Edit: it’s a Knick Knack, and I am forgetful. Polycarbonate and a brass axle. Performs just as well as it’s big brothers, but I did have to shorten the string more than I normally would to give the stalls enough room in the gap. Not a bad thing! Makes throwing at my desk a lot easier, lol. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/6/d/1/6d110c45acadaf8bf22e39518c5b6b12ef1f5b65.jpeg) [Previous page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/fixed-axle-friday-throws/294546.md?page=89) [Next page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/fixed-axle-friday-throws/294546.md?page=91)
