Yeah, I did this experiment a while back expecting it to be unplayable, because we were discussing weight differences on the sides of yoyos… but it turns out to be 100% totally playable and not even that weird, if you pick yoyos that aren’t too wildly different 🙃

I did the Dread G (80g, large) and Crucible (50g, small) for maximum effect here:

> I put together the most extreme half swap I could… half Dread G (80g version), half Smashing Crucible (50g). Massive difference in shape, diameter, and weight, see for yourself rofl [image] Again… dead smooth on the string. It does list heavily to the side and it wants to turn because of the weight differential, but it’s perfectly vibe free. Seriously. I wouldn’t have believed it myself if I hadn’t tried it! I’m starting to wonder if the halves matter less than the internal symmetry on each…
