Although I’m probably always going to want another new throw, there are some yoyos that I feel I like so much I would never possibly trade them. (Sentimental value mainly lol)
Not really. I think it applies to a lot of us. I have been content, from a player perspective, for a long time now. The collector in me, is engrossed in the hobby of collecting, so I do that because I enjoy it. It doesn’t mean I’m always looking for something different to play. I have my mains that I play, and very content with them.
It’s not weird. Collecting and playing are two very different things. I’d have a lot less yo-yos if I could throw better, but it seems I have more of a talent in gathering yo-yos (being a pack-rat?). I’d rather have a small collection and better skills.
I guess Im a player, I buy yoyos, and I’m dissapointed they dont stack up to my chief, and play the chief mostly. Latest thing that got a spot in my collection is a victory wtih ultra lites, I love the thing. If its not a player, it might as well be sold to try something else.
i was happy with an early model 888, a self modded lyn fury with a homemade counterweight and 2 loop 720s for years. There is nothing wrong with saying “this is good enough”
