Welcome!
XT is certainly nice for the price. If you are looking for a really light responsive yoyo, the Legend Wing is another nice one to check out.

Thanks. Yes, I have the Wing, nice yoyo and I like the regular legend even more. Another favoirte is Duncan Pulse, yes light are really cool but also the way it plays. this one is acturally a bit heavy in comparison to looping yoyos. I also have the moonshine and weekender but have to admit that i havnāe played with them yet. I buy way too much and way ahead of my skills. lol

Welcome to the Forums! Iām glad you joined. Age makes no difference here. Iām 54. Skill level should not determine what you buy. They all spin the same, itās what you do with them that matters. Weāre all on the same journey.

Hey, JT here!, just touching base and saying hey. Started yoing in the late 60ās and then on and off till the mid 90ās and started collecting vintage yoyos as well. Brain Twister is the most tech trick i have pulled off. Glad to be a part!

I yoyoed back around 2000. Getting back into juggling, yoyoing and tops during covid. Thought Iād join the forum. The only modern yoyo that I have is the Dove. This is most everything else

Hi, my name is Adrian.
I havenāt been on these forums for maybe 5-6 years but decided to join again. I started yoyoing June 6th 2012. Iām from Minnesota. I host a yo-yo club biweekly virtually and I have a podcast called the aperture podcast I started with my friend Braydon. My favorite trick is probably Eli hops and my favorite yo-yo is the nickel plated chief, palpitation and the blizzard. Nice to be back on the forum.

Hello everyone!
I am new to the forum and am REALLY excited to join this community.
I recently rediscovered my love for throwing and general yoyo play. I still have my first Yomega X-Brain from 1999 and it works like a charm! I currently have a Yomega Raider, Duncan Hornet, and an original BNIB Playmaxx Turbo Bumblebee that I just won on eBay on the way!! I have lusted after a bumblebee since I was a kid and now finally have one! Does anyone have any suggestions as to where I can purchase replacement cork response pads? Or, how I can make my own?
I also have a passion for collecting wristwatches, especially Omega and Seiko brands.
I will contribute more as I shake off the rust and grow my skills this summer!
Thanks!

Hey, and welcome!
I tired looking for those cork response pads and I really canāt find a place to buy them, BUT in certain craft stores they sell cork sheets in rolls, so maybe you could try experimenting with finding the measurements online so you donāt have to destroy the ones you currently are using and making a pattern with paper and pencil to cut it out?
Thatās really the best idea I currently have since a lot of the older duncan parts stopped being sold.

Thank you! That is a great idea. In reality, all it would take is a small sheet of cork and an exacto knife to cut-out the pattern from existing response pads. The adhesive would also be easy to come by in a craft store.

Welcome to the forums! I too recently shook off my rust (several months ago now) and discovered unresponsive play. Also, I totally also still have my XBrain from childhood!
My best advice is to try to not get caught up in the hype around the over 8000 awesome new yoyos that come out everyday (or do? Collecting is fun!)
This community has proven to be pretty awesome, I think youāll like it here.
Cheers!
