General Yoyo Thoughts

I agree with this.

10m is absolute borderline in my opinion. 12-15mm all the way.

Itā€™s nice my wardrobe was 90% black before I started Yoyo (10% tie dye).

Confession: while I had some black clothing for sure I didnā€™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.

Plain black tshirts and yellow string mostly just for the TaW :joy:

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

One of the greatest pieces of advice Iā€™ve received was from @Augie like 10 years ago.

ā€œDonā€™t force yourself to yoyo if youā€™re not feeling it.ā€

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 Iā€™m getting now that Iā€™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.
