If Only This YoYo

…had one thing different, I think I’d really like it.

What are some yoyos that you think you would have really liked if only one thing about it was different, and what’s that one thing?

Are there yoyos that were updated, and you loved the new version after not caring for the old version, or vise versa?

For me I think I would have liked the Par Avion a lot, if it had a 4.5mm gap instead of the 4.86mm it has. It was just frustrating to play with, and I sold mine. I don’t know how it made it into production, honestly, with that gap.

Also, I think I would really love a G.5 made of stainless steel. I actually really loved the first version, but it would be so much better I think with some more umph to it!

If only the Free Solo and had a sharper spike. I enjoy a good matador pull start and fingerspin. It’s possible but you gotta hold your mouth just right.

But I like the big gap on the Par Avion… Just adds to the horizontal and extreme trick capabilities for me. It’s a powerhouse!

I might have to get one now… I like a bigger gap

Lots of cool yoyos are ruined by their laser engravings.
Be it a huge text on the rims or anything in a designated fingerspin area.

Yeah, bearing seat identification markings would be amazing.
Not a fan of the disruptive arty things.

I would say that I Love Luftverk yoyos.

And if I could get Jeffrey to change only ‘1’ thing…:thinking:

I would say if he could lower the retail prices to $1. And send everything FedEx Overnight.

Oops! That’s 2 things😳

I could never get good binds with mine, and it just made it no fun for me.

I have to agree with @HappyHands.

I generally use the thick Airetics on this one and it seemed to work well.

I tried other thick strings, but not those.

Once yoyo meets start up again, I’ll have to try yours out!

A better finish. I have not bought from brands again once I knew the finish was not what I like…

I’m not greedy. I’m willing to pay for the Overnight shipping.

I wish the Gamer/Delrin Gamer had a small bearing version… but I still like both anyway.

Any thoughts on when you might feel comfortable starting up again? Maybe start meeting outside once it warms up a bit more?

Yeah, we could meet at a park somewhere…

I’m vaccinated, so I’d be fine meeting already. I’ll post in our meetup thread and FB. See how everyone’s feeling about it.

The bi-metal Duncan Exit8 would be a much more enjoyable yo-yo if it had rounded edges on the rim. They are just so sharp. It has such great undersized dimensions, looks amazing, and feels and sounds so unique on the throw. It’s fun to pick up for a unique experience now and then, but it would be a more everyday yo-yo if they designed it to round a little of the edge off.

OMG. I don’t think it’s my birthday, is it? And it’s not April 1st, either!
