That looks good! Did it come with the perfectly sized bag? ---

It did, although I couldn’t easily get it into the bag. I didn’t try too hard, It keeps wandering into my hands, though. I am strong! (1July). ---

There’s no rules against holding a yoyo. And that one looks nice to hold. ---

Zooming in on my collection? _I do the same thing._ I guess I hide things in plain sight. 5th day. Cut a string. Yoyo started to loosen up, when I noticed, I just tightened it back up. Went to throw and no sleep, instant return. Looked into the gap, no string around the Bricked Bearing, it had fell to the axel. As soon as I loosened the halves, the string fell out. Boy did I get LUCKY. It is now laced with a standard course P44 string. ---

Day 5: still in. Working on doughnut trucks and some alternating repeaters. Also trying to figure out if a Houdini stall is good for something. ---

Late to the boat, but faithful so far… I didn’t catch on about 1 July until July 2nd - so as fate would have it, I only managed to get avout 5 minutes of throwing in on the 1st - all with the same yoyo. Since hearing about it (G2 Jake - MMYY video mention), I have stayed faithful to it. While it wasnt necessarily my immediate first choice if told - you only get one throw, there are a handful of reasons that I think this was the right (thank you fate) choice. I’m throwing the G2 Jackal. First off, it’s the closest thing I have to a throw with red, white, and blue (need to fix that at some point), and I used it patriotically for a good amount yesterday. Second - this slimline is the perfect thing to throw in your pocket as a high end slimline EDC - eloquent yet robust, refined yet bold. This thing will travel with you in a pocket and next to nobody will see it until you bust it out. Third - the narrow gap makes for a great training tool to really hone multiple strings, lacerations/whips/GTs, and leaves little room for error. This throw has really helped me to be more precise with my movements, placements, and intentions. Fourth - this thing rips. Slimline or not, it flat out PLAYS when you push it to do more. Fifth - with the flagship G2 spike, pull starts and matador style is a breeze. While I have had some decent maildays recently, this is something that I can pick up, throw once or twice, and put down to go connect with my family for a few minutes before coming back to it. I never feel like I have FOMO if I only get the opportunity to throw it for 5 minutes at a time, as I know it’s easy enough to slip in the pocket, take with you, and bust out at the very next moment. Happy throwing all! ![Screenshot_20240501_161136_Patreon](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/b/0/a/b0a7e02daa17a2fc6d36919af1be1991efffa9df.jpeg) ---

I’ve got to say that yesterday I discovered joy in an axle knot. 🤣 Usually I jump right on untangling them… but yesterday I left it untouched for quite some time… all the while enjoying my Dreamland playing responsive… 🤣🤣🤣 ---

It’s a D bearing, and I have thought about that. But it already uses the shortest axle and there aren’t a lot of threads, so there is no way I’ll be going ham on it. 🤣 (Waves hand like a Jedi…) Axle knots will do fine… Axle knots… WILL do fine. 🤣 ---

I see no issue. I joked with some folks about only one but same YoYo sane config makes sense especially if it’s a competition thing. We aren’t trying to make YoYo not fun ---
