We all count an identical pair of yo-yos for a two yo-yo style as ONE yo-yo, right? ---

It’s each individual’s option to choose their style. If 2a is your style, I see a pair as necessary. I know you have a pile @TryCatchThrow and regularly change out. So sticking with a single pair seems just as challenging. I see no issue with this. ---

If you’re going 2A for the month, I’d think a set of loopers qualifies. ---

Yeah if your style is 2A or 3A then one pair would be the same as one YoYo also if your yoyo breaks for example cause you main 4a or 5a and it takes a hard hit then an alternate at that time is accepted. We will want to see the carnage of course. ---

Can I ask what is the purpose of this? I mean, 5a May was to get us to practice and have fun by learning or getting better in 5 A. Same can be said for fixed axle feb or whatever else. I do not understand the logic behind this. Can someone explain please? ( I do not mean to be rude, I sincerely do not understand). Thanks! ---

Just a fun challenge. Also, I do believe that playing with one particular yoyo, for an extended period of time, does increase skill. I can’t explain exactly why, but I played The End 2 exclusively for a couple months when it came out. Not only did I get better, I also, kind of, hammered out my “play style”. And discovered my “type”, if you will. ---

I feel like its almost cheating for those of us that only own 1 or 2 throws that are everyday playable lol However, i am working on adding a new modern responsive to my lineup this week or next so ill post pic when i receive it and at the end of the month to prove i didnt open/play with it. Itll be my reward for a month of self control 😁 ---

It’s just a fun challenge. No reward or big prize. It’s sort of inspired by the Ed Happonik one YoYo for a year challenge but smaller and less brutal. If you want to challenge yourself you could pickup a YoYo that is more difficult for you such as a smaller or thinner YoYo or a style that isn’t your main or even just a simple wood YoYo and see what you can do with 1 YoYo for a month but we didn’t want to make it so restrictive in that sense. It’s all just for fun and non of us want to see someone try to use a micro for a month or something and hate YoYo by the end of said month. With that said anyone who does pick a micro god speed I’ll be excited to see how amazing that person gets by the end. ---

I have a respawn and some C3yoyo initiators coming in the mail, if I get them in time, I’ll pick one or the other. I suck at looping and my responsive game is rusty, I’ll keep ya posted. If they don’t come in time, I might have to go with the Torrent II +, it just has the best handfeel of any yoyo I have ever played, like it’s meant to be there ---

> [@Georgekouts](#): > > Can I ask what is the purpose of this? This challenge is more about the personal side than the skill side. It is setting a goal and learning about yourself within a given restriction. As stated, it is a play-off of Mr. Ed Haponik’s One Yoyo for a year. If you haven’t had a chance, read some of his Blog about his experience. [https://kinopah.blogspot.com/](https://kinopah.blogspot.com/) @edhaponik The Yoyo Boomers Club thinks it is a fun little community challenge. Anyone can do it. Each week we will post a question about your experience. Again, it’s about community involvement and personal growth. Spoiler Alert: First Question will be “What yoyo did you choose for this challenge and Why?” on July 1st. We decided to post the preview a week early just for these types of discussions. July 1st, we go live! [Next page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/get-ready-for-one-july-2024/403962.md?page=2)
