Get Ready for ONE July 2024!

With four or five days left to single out THE ONE, I have narrowed the field to three:

A No Jive, my newest, an aluminum Imperial because it is a tribute to one of my first nice throws in the 60s, and an El Mijo since it is non-responsive and I haven’t thrown it in a while.

I chose not to use a Loop 2020, an RBC or the second news brasser since I have been using them quite a bit anyway.

Any suggestions?

I vote the No Jive personally, but I think they’re all great options.

I wish I could narrow it down to 3… I do think my new No-Jive will be in the top 3.

I am also considering ones I dont throw frequently. However, they all get thrown over the course of the Month.

Who’s idea was this???

Can I come over to your house and touch all your stuff??

This is my conundrum as well. Or do I go with a modern responsive since that’s probably my least played style, of the styles I like to play? :man_shrugging:

Idk man

It’s a hard call to make

Come on up. I am about a hour and a half west of you. 3 hours with traffic.

If you have family, bring them.

I am leaning Modern Responsive. My favorite style. Bearing and stalls, what else could I ask for?

But then I am torn on focusing on fixie too.

I dont have the guts to commit to unresponsive for a month, though I should.

Aluminum butterfly w/ delrin caps
respawn lite

The respawn lite surprised me in that regard. I expected it to be very snappy and very responsive but it plays more like my fh1, but better. I can even do a couple whip tricks with it and still tug it back to my hand. Was not expecting that.

Does a yo-yo even last you a month?

I play my butterflies that are special very sparingly and play the stuffing out of my regular ones. I shred, maybe, like, a tenth (?) as hard as you and still go through a few butterflies a year.

I guess it doesn’t help that they often double as “doggies” for my kids :joy:

No-jive, all the way.

Of course, I’ve never tried the other two so my opinion is rather moot

You can do it man. Come to Missouri, we can trade. I’ll teach you 2 unresponsive tricks for every mma trick you teach me :rofl::rofl::rofl:

I am torn between my Superstar 2024 or No Jive. I’m a little worried about losing skills in the other style over a month. That’s like a third of my yoyo life!

My other options are Freehand 2016 or Moonshine 2, both of which need some tinkering to play well.

Are we playing yoyo or Battleship?

Most likely, but it depends. As I’m sure you know, they can crack or break if they hit a hard surface too hard. That chance increases when you let kids or other people play with them, which I do. I try to be aware of fraying so I don’t snap strings, but sometimes I do. Over time the starburst response will wear down, especially if you throw a lot of hard sleepers. I have one that is semi-responsive now because of that.
