I actually don’t mind the ‘feel’ of heavy yo-yos. Either in the hand or in the air.
It’s my finger that doesn’t like the heavier weights.
It feels like I have a tourniquet on my finger.
I can’t imagine the constriction is doing anything good in the long game.
I don’t care much for Finger protector tape, etc…
After throwing a heavy yo-yo for awhile, I don’t care for the groove that stays on the finger for an hour or so.
….I remember years ago, Dave Schulte let us all in on how he unintentionally messed up his finger from years of demo yo-yoing and such.
He wasn’t necessarily using heavy yo-yos, but regardless, the message is constricting blood flow to any extremity can result in bad things in the long game…
I think Dave had that blood vessel issue due to the yoyos hitting his hand, not from the string constricting his finger. The X-ray showed the reduced blood vessels in his index finger, which is not the finger he puts the string on. He’s okay now after having blood thinners.
I got this yo-yo in the Coding collection. I didn’t ask Jeff about it and he didn’t tell me about it.
Being a structural welder and fabricator and resurrecting smashed school buses, constantly puts me in contact with Heavy things allllll….daaaaay….loooong.
Often, I have little difficulty understanding why some things are so heavy. And I understand why some things don’t have to be so heavy.
Now, here I am suddenly confronted with this Crime against Humanity. A yo-yo obviously built by something that escaped from an Insane Asylum. Built by a closet Sadist that prolly giggled every second he was building these yo-yos. <> knowing they could potentially Kill someone on contact.
I am sure this is not the heaviest yoyo ever made.
But I am also sure that this is not a toy. It’s more like a weapon.
If your dream is to learn how to play the piano with 9 fingers, than this yo-yo is a good starting point.
If you are wanted by the law and need to change your face to avoid capture, a couple face plants with this yo-yo and you are well in your way to a different looking you.
You may not remember who you are, but you will certainly not look like the picture on your Drivers License anymore
I present to you, whatever this mutation is…… all 138 grams of it, a successful experiment in terror……> the Ultimate paperweight>
There are Coyotes in my area at night. I like to walk around the neighborhood for my health. I take one defensive weapon with me. The above yoyo, with 3 braided 100% poly strings on it.
It makes a most potentially effective ‘I’m gonna hurt you’ device.
I would hate to be on the receiving end of this death star. Lol
I like a bit heavier yo-yos, especially outdoors when there’s some wind. The MYY node has a little weight, but not sluggish to change direction. Finally described my like for it. I had some anodized green dif-e-yo, with the weight rings it was heavy.
