Introduce Yourself!

If you keep a yoyo with you all the time, even when you’re in the pool, then you’re hardcore! Just kidding, of course! I’m also a swimmer, and now looking back a yoyo would have been the perfect way to kill time between events during a swim meet. That reminds me of a shirt that I saw at a meet years back that said “If you only have one day to live, go to a swim meet because they seem to last forever”!

Which Shutter(s) do you have? I got one of the original Shutters when I started throwing again last year. It’s the red/orange fade colorway and I still think it’s one of the prettiest yoyos that I have. But then I got the Shutter Wide Angle and that was my favorite for a long time as it’s much easier to land on the string due to the width. I got one of the JDS Shutters when they first released, and that’s a really nice throw too. Now if only I could get the JDS’ smoothness with the WA’s ease of hitting the string in a red/orange fade :slight_smile:

That’s crazy! I used to have the same shirt. What what’s your best event? Mine is the 1650 fr.
I only have a normal shutter. Also red orange fade. I don’t have a very large collection yet.

Welcome to the forums!

Oh, I see you’re the kind of person that enjoys pain! I try to stick to 50s, since they’re over really quickly!

I tried a longer event once and I happens to be very good at it. My first 1650, I managed to go a 17:33.14. So after that I became a distance swimmer.

Hi there, this is Aaron from A&A Yoyo Strings (coming very soon!). I’ve been posting sparingly on the forum as @IMArocketman but figured I should have a handle just for the brand. Speaking of, we are going to be launching in the next few weeks. The first thing we are going to do is offer free samples for the first 100 people to sign up. Follow us on Instagram (instagram.com/aayoyostrings) as we will post the link to sign up just a bit before we post it on the forum. We’ll be posting more information about the strings and company very soon!

It certainly is. Amazing how much muscle memory helps though, kinda picked back up where I left off. Thanks for the friendly greeting!

Welcome to the forums! Maybe you should look into getting a G2 Decade to represent how you have come back after 10 years!

I’m very happy. I found out that the U.S. is also curious about our brand. If you have any questions, please feel free to leave a comment. My English is very poor, so I ask for your understanding.
