What I think is new is that it takes so long to re-stock if they do not have enough. In the old days you would just put in a new order. Now you need to get in line at the busy Chinese factories. ---

Today, i’ve learned a new yo-yo term. I was throwing with my stepdaughter and she was trying some of my yo-yos. When she put them back in the case, she arranged them in a special order. I asked her about the meaning. She said:“The bottom row are the Hard-Binders.” I chuckled and even if the answer was obvious, I had to ask what’s a Hard-Binder. “A yo-yo that’s hard to bind! Quite simple!” ---

Dude… Idk what it is recently, but there is an unusual amount of great looking expensive performance-based yoyo drops that either just happened or are going to happen… it’s hard to keep up with from an informational and financial standpoint lmao 😅 Forreal tho… we have: YYF Shutter Evo drop today, $159 Unprld Motif drop today, $125 YYFriends Tachyon drop Sept 19th, $110 Outlier 3, later this year, probably $120ish That’s $500ish on top of whatever I’m doing to fund my organic addiction. Worth it though, these are pretty big drops. Just don’t tell my girl. :joy: ---

I love a quiet bearing as much as the next thrower, but trying to make a bearing, especially a non-shielded bearing, completely silent requires so much lube that it severely hampers spin time and is not worth it, IMO. I just can’t relate to those folks who are willing to make that trade-off. 😝 ---

Super excited. It has to be the large bearing version for me. Small bearing does have more of a nostalgia/fun factor to it, but the large bearing One AL is what I always reach for because it just feels so much more modern/versatile. I have to be in the mood to want to play a small bearing yoyo, but I’m always in the mood to throw a C bearing. ---

Color errors, but working on it! The way we release it is going to be different because we sourced the final product in 4 different factory. This is one of the most fun, yet challenging project for sure. Will never forget! Should be this month 😊 ---

I think lower barriers to entry are great. It’s pure capitalism. Besides, I think it gives plenty of people to have their personal dream yo-yo made. I know when I had the Independents designed it was more for myself. I just had a few extras made to offset costs and for people out there who wanted what I did. Although if Duncan came out with their small bearing Freehand Al sooner I would have grabbed one of those and saved myself the trouble. ---

currently it is brent stole for me. I first learned it a couple weeks ago, hit it maybe 60-70% of the time. Now all of a sudden I can’t hit it to save my life. Sometimes may only hit 2 our of 10 attempts.
