This is why I wanted to go to a contest. Mostly just to touch a bunch of yo-yos I’ve never touched… ---

Yes, same here! Or at least a club. I remembered out of the blue that a friend i have that i havent spoken to in years used to throw. I hit him up and he said he was still throwing but as we talked more it turns out he was happy being an up and down guy. After taking a ding to the head one day he stopped learning tricks. I was SO close to being able to throw with someone in person 😪 ---

Now it’s a hard decision. I just got my raiders and modded them with JPL spacers. I was going to turn the axles down on the lathe tonight to get the spacing. So I need to hurry up and see if these are my one July set :joy: ![IMG_1041](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/a/e/8/ae8d98cc9c6915f52f48b2dba351906a00e22cef.jpeg) ---

I think I have my decision narrowed down. The Al Imperial is nice. The El Mijo is also nice since it is SO versatile. The El Mijo also has a wonderful song. But, the No Jive just does it for me at this time. It is retro but still somewhat modern and has good spin time for a wooden throw. Besides, it has that wonderful “wooden” song. ![On Top](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/2/b/a/2ba77aeb06dff92a0e6dfd9e951d82f9312b2753.jpeg) The No Jive came out on top. 🙂 ---

When your close to under 300 throws and you have to pick 1 for a whole month? I barely throw a ssingle yoyo for more than a couple throws before I move on to another. ---

How about this. The prize will be a personal heart felt “good job” from me at the end.
