Confession: while I had some black clothing for sure I didn’t really have a lot or anything plain, most of my stuff has graphics or is a color. So when I started throwing again and realized I might be filming more for the forum and TaW etc I went a got a pack of plain black T shirts lol ---

why is a longer axle important? one of my favorites is MK1 Spyglass, and that has an 8mm. ---

I like longer bc its less easy to strip and I stripped my first unresponsive. I think I know what I’m doing now (kinda) and am not worried about stripping stuff anymore but I know it’s easier to strip Yoyo threads with a shorter axle and softer Alu. I bet your spyglass is fine bc it’s 7075 aluminum vs 6061 so inherently stronger and harder to strip. Someone if I’m wrong, please correct me. ---

One of the greatest pieces of advice I’ve received was from @Augie like 10 years ago. “Don’t force yourself to yoyo if you’re not feeling it.” Crucial in avoiding burnout. Keeps it fun and fresh. ---

I just think longer axles can help with the longevity of the yoyo. More axle and thread maintaining contact. ---

Ive noticed that the stronger I’m getting now that I’m working out again the easier it is becoming to handle the Valkyrie. In nerd/ Dark Souls terms i think the Valkyrie might be the only yoyo that scales with strength and not just dexterity ---

Waiting the CLYW - Klondike release more than the second come of Jesus Christ, really care to have/try this yoyo and possibly in 28 stories colourway. It is so annoying when there are limited numbers and timezone make impossible to stay wake up waiting for the release, without consider import taxes cause the shop selected and expensive delivery prices but I do really like this one and I would love to have one for me to play. ---
