Most everything I have is maple with the exception of one made of red wood which is too light. The BC laminates such as the Lightning and the Apollo Pro feel too heavy to me. Never played others.

My favorite yoyo I’ve bought from you is my walnut Pocket Love. Please make more.

Most all of my fixies are maple (I think). I would like to try the light and heavy woods but I have to buy in order to try. Oh well, I do the best that I can.

I think the material doesn’t really matter that much, I mean one can make a thin purpleheart yoyo that is light anyways. I think it would be simpler to vote weight instead.
