About 20 Kitty Normals left but I usually make em last a month each. I really need to get flowable silicone or mix up something one of these days… Yeah same here I play 1a 2a 4a and 5a I’m out of response for 4a for 1a last pair left of pads. I will have to get silicone soon. ---

Kinda wish I had that one yoyo, but I don’t have the discipline. I was like that for 2 or 3 years. I loved the simplicity of the yoyo helped fill in the lameness of everyday life cycles. ---

I have four right now. But you need to have that one really good one. Quality over quantity in my books. > [@Someone](#): > > Reminds me of this kid I used to know, always had his beat baby blue KLR with him. > > That’s all I ever saw him throw. Kinda wish I had that one yoyo, but I don’t have the discipline. this honestly sounds exactly like me. Except my beat KLR is silver and blue. ---

My problem is that I like fixed axle and you need variety in that world. You need to have options since some are better for certain styles over others. ---

The idea of having only one or two yoyos is strangely appealing to me, but I’d be hard pressed to narrow it down to “the One.” I used to collect for uniqueness and variety, but now I don’t consider a yoyo to be a keeper if it couldn’t be “the One.” I mean, if my house burns down, or the apocalypse begins, or I’m abducted by aliens, I need to be sure the yoyo in my pocket is one I’ll be happy with long term, right? “Throw rich” is a good philosophy though. I can’t afford to have the top-of-the-line in many things, but with yoyos, I can afford the absolute best in the world. ---

If I had to choose just one yoyo to grab before my house burned down, I would die of smoke inhalation. I have it down to a top 3, with 4 each of those 3. So 12 is my minimum. ---

i have had points in time where i have had close to (if not) over 40, and times where i have had 4-7 at most i got 7-8 new yoyos from MWR (i won a few, before you freak out lol) i would say if i have a competition set for 1a, and a yoyo for each style, im set! (not at all the case today, but you get the idea lol) but even though im a former state champ, im mostly in it for the fun, so i like to support my favorite players/companies by buying their stuff. it is a (competitive) toy, after all :🙂 :wink: [Previous page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/how-many-yoyos-is-enough/75374.md?page=1)
