I’m not sure if this is been done before. But I came up with a good idea today for Instagram. Use the use the hashtag #halfswap and switch out halves of ur yoyos and get it on video. I found this really fun and hope you enjoy it too! Sry for making the title wrong. 😛 ---

Or even more subtle, use two different Side effects to see if they really do make a difference ---

I think the side effect idea is more interesting IMO. ---

#halfswap Sounds like trading halves with a buddy that has the same yoyo. Make so pretty cool color combos. ---

That’s what I thought it was too, and as a fan of 2-tone yo-yos (like the old BumbleBee/Cold Fusion) I wish it was available more as a manufacturer option. Seems like everyone does solid colors or splashes but very few offer different colored solid halves. ---

I thought it could be used to trade yoyo halves with others. ---

I went to #halfswap, and there were random photos there already (not yo-yo related). Maybe #yoyohalfswap would keep more of the random stuff out. :-\ ---

I don’t know if you meant to try swapping two DIFFERENT yoyos or not, but it is a good thing to try. One thing to watch out for though is the axle of a larger yoyo bottoming out in a smaller yoyo. It becomes essentially impossible to remove. Happened to me on my Token ☹ at least it wasn’t with the Cliff which was the other half! Happy experimenting!
