Welcome back to the hobby. Post a photo of that Proyo II! Itā€™s cool you still have it.

@ChrisFrancz Thanks. Yeah itā€™s a cool yoyo, it feels strange going back to it as an adult doing tricks I couldnā€™t do as a kid! My dad saved up money from tips for that yoyo because I couldnā€™t afford to buy one, so in hindsight I was actually 11/12 because I worked at 13. I have an old green Duncan Imperial somewhere too but never had much luck with that.

Nice! How do you like your Replay Pro? I LOVE it. Iā€™ve been bringing 2 yoyos to work and itā€™s the Replay that comes out of my pocket most. It clicks on every level for me and is just so comfortable for me and I love it most with a Kitty XL string. Do you plan on trying any metal yoyos? I highly recommend the Top Yo Colossus V. Itā€™s $30 and phenomenal.

Yeah the Replay Pro is awesome, it feels good in my hand and seems well balanced. Itā€™s pretty easy to learn the mounts on too. Iā€™ll try a Kitty XL on it! Yeah definitely after a metal yoyo at some point, Iā€™ll check out the Colossus. Itā€™s hard getting some of the yoyos in the UK though.

Hi everyone! My nameā€™s Alex. I officially started throwing in 2017 and started with my black Sage. Iā€™ve since lost it but that throw was a favorite of mine. I put throwing down until recently I started back up again. Iā€™ve been throwing my Skyva for the last couple weeks and have a new throw coming today that Iā€™m excited to try! Iā€™m looking forward to meeting other throwers!

Hey, Alex. Welcome aboard. The Sage is a great yoyo. I jumped to intermediate with it in 2018. What new yoyo do you have coming? Mail Days are always exciting!

Hello, my name is Miguel, from Spain.
I am just starting with the yoyo, practising the basic tricks.

Welcome from the USA! What yoyos are you practicing with? Hereā€™s my advice: donā€™t give up on learning a trick. From my experience the closer you get to learning a trick the more impossible it will seem and the more you will want to give up.

Hey there!

My name is Bruce, Iā€™m 33 and started throwing back in elementary school.
I shelved my old Spintastics Terminator Tornado and Yomega X-Brain just before high school and didnā€™t pick up another yoyo until I quit cigarettes almost 4 years ago.
I bought a new Yomega Fireball and used it daily to help fight the cravings, and was successful!

Just recently (about 2 weeks ago), Iā€™ve picked up my first unresponsives and have started learning the breakaway throw and 1a style string tricks.

Currently, Iā€™m throwing:
Recess Snack (B-Grade)
Recess Komodo
YYF Monster Edge
OneDrop Intro

Doing my best to learn at least one new trick every other day, cheers!

I started out with the Sage set up unresponsive. Have sense moved to bi-metal and set the sage up for responsive play. Its a fun throw.
