Hit yo-yo on concrete!

I think it’s also cool you got that case-hardened steel (heat rainbow look) on the berg… it mixes it up a bit instead of one ding on an otherwise immaculate surface. I don’t worry about appearance, just throwing the thing off balance (which I’m trying to develop a fix for like a wheel baancing machine for cars). Good thing your rims were steel and not “aircraft aluminum” light rings.6061 aluminum is softer than 7075, but I like steel and want an iceberg. I had a string fly off my finger for the first time, throwing too directly ahead of my finger somehow, and it shattered the Trigger’s Celcon rim on the cement floor. I used the steel weight rings off the Trigger to put them on a Pro Z hehe… it has an interesting, rhythmically intermittent vibe that increases and gos away like clockwork, smooth about 3/4 of the time. Probably threw a ring off balance when it hit the floor, because otherwise, the Trigger rings fit the Pro Z cap recesses perfectly centered tightly with one “precision wrap of aluminum tape” if that’s not an oxymoron…I think we get powned/corrected for being to Golem “precious”-like about our throws and the more we get that way the sooner it hits something. I love the guy’s well-worn throw with the battle scars. I can’t help but want a titanium one, one day. It might shatter, but you can rest assured it won’t be bent off balance.

If your throw isn’t dinged you aren’t trying hard enough.

Not sure what is entirely true? Is that strung up for 5a?

Yes. That’s my Lilith still Throws great.

It is. You’ll see.

I have a pre-dinged throw that I plan to use for play outdoors (at work basically). I’m not going to be so precious with a Cadence prototype–which I got for free no less–that already has battle scars.
