Please take pics and post to the most damaged yoyo thread. Haven’t heard of anyone shooting a yoyo since the OG Project.

Nope not all lol, I’m leaving it at that and not commenting on it any further! Not even gonna post pictures or anything of the aftermath (sorry Curtis), got caught up in the moment reading that thread earlier and got a little heated. My viewpoint stands though!

So we’re out looking for a new vacuum and stuff today (please kill me), and just judging off some of these prices I am never going to be able to buy a yoyo again so it’s been nice knowing you all :saluting_face:

If you do not have stairs, search pawn shops for the self propelled kirby vacuums that hotels use. Can usually find one for really cheap because they are heavy. The self propulsion makes them feel weightless in use and they are almost bulletproof.

2.5 gallon wet/dry shop vac is like 35-40$ not for houses will be cheaper. They all suck anyways.

Yoyofriends deserves to be worshipped by an actual cult. Why the hell is everything they make so incredible? Why does the Hummingbird still feel better than most new bimetals? How did a competition focused company make the Koi and Tiny as good as they are? There are no answers to these mysteries other than Yoyofriends >

There was an isle with much cheaper ones guys no worries. I was beginning to think I was gonna need a loan for one of these things

The Koi is my only yoyofriends at the moment and I love it, but I wouldn’t hesitate buying anything else from them in the future either. I was so pleased and impressed with the quality and everything

The Koi is the only yoyo I have that competes with my 5000QV for my favorite of all time. I love it to death and am planning to get one or two more in the future. But I have 4 of their bimetals as well and they are all top notch. The Peregrine is the only one I’m not in love with, but it’s also the best performing yoyo I own. I just think it feels kind of boring. The rest are not only top tier performers but extremely fun as well

I have the sunset/galaxy wash whatever you wanna call it and it’s gorgeous on top of playing really well for a pure organic. It’s actually kinda crazy

Everything they make is kinda crazy. Their worst yoyos are still quite good. I can’t get over how amazing they are, and probably never will

Many brands have their yoyos machined by FPM, the OEM business behind YoYoFriends.
They have hundreds of designs on hand and get to test every one of them first hand. It‘s no surprise they can pick effective design solutions which perform well for their own brand.

Interesting point. That makes a ton of sense, they got to learn from many of the best brands in the business early on which is a huge advantage.

I’m a newer player, so it’s still always surprising to me whenever I’m reminded how much of a legacy he’s had. I see so many of my favorite players still jamming on Mini Mo-Tus occasionally.

Not sure why but as of lately, been playing organics. Years past, it was always a thing of “playing the most stable thing I could find with the lowest walls” but now tastes have changed. Granted I still give other throws some love as well, the daily throws have mostly been organic…comfy, chill.

That said, just pulled the trigger on a Torrent 2, looking forward to trying it, having enjoyed General Yo’s other throws (Hatrick, Mini Star). Will be my 3rd General Yo and certainly not the last.

Was choosing between a Panorama and Diorama, pulled the trigger on the Diorama and feel like I made a mistake lol. Can’t afford another yoyo at the moment but if I get some more graduation money I might pull the trigger for a Pano. Feelsbadman
