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

3 down and 2 right looks the best to me.

Idk if I can do this. Got yoyos to mod and then playtest

That’s quite understandable.
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

I say it’s ok if it’s in a work capacity.
As long as you don’t have fun when testing them, no smiling!

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.
The No Jive came out on top.

This was my thought but I honestly may take the month as a challenge and use something like the jackal

the jackal is such a good yoyo, 100% would make for a fun 1 yoyo month. when the jackal protos first arrived for me, I did the same basically lol

I’m still back and forth in my head. It sounds fun, but do I really even wanna pretend to try? Pretty sure I’m too excited about too many throws

The prize is the skills we learned along the way…

If you expect more than nothing, it’ll probably be a little less than that

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.

That’s what I do for fun (or maybe self regulation? lol)
I pace and I switch out yo-yos

How about this. The prize will be a personal heart felt “good job” from me at the end. That might in some cases be less valuable than nothing
