Wood fixed axle and response is still a bit of a mystery to me, see

So am coming at this as someone who looks at, say … a modern metal slimine responsive such as the YYF Confusion … and sees that as the norm. That’s the kind of responsive yo-yo behavior I expect. [image] I’ve been experimenting with wood axles over the last two months, and I finally found some that I like! My favorite wood axle responsives are on …

My best current guess based on what I’ve experienced in play is that you _need_ some string tension / twist (not a ton, just “some”) for things to work properly on wood fixed axles. But even then, sometimes… it just acts weird.

I’d also add that I think it’s almost universally better when there is a formal response system of some kind (drilled holes, friction stickers, homemade cut starburst) even on wood fixed axles…
