I was wondering a few things about the lateral caps: • Overall what’s your opinion(dope or nope) • Can you play without just one on, without it causing vibe? • Does it affect the yoyo in anyway(a.k.a: awesome play, crappy play, vibe, dead smooth, looks good, looks bad, etc.) • How do they feel?(do they feel smooth while finger grinding? • Things that annoy you about them That’s All Folks Thanks in advance 🙂 ---

• Overall what’s your opinion(dope or nope) DOPEEEE • Can you play without just one on, without it causing vibe? oh defiantly! its so weird looking though haha • Does it affect the yoyo in anyway(a.k.a: awesome play, crappy play, vibe, dead smooth, looks good, looks bad, etc.) Dead smooth still! i was shocked! Adds weight which is always opinionated, looks elegant with a clean colorway! • How do they feel?(do they feel smooth while finger grinding? Super smooth and slick (But must have dry hands!) • Things that annoy you about them Not recessed GOD that annoys me haha, wish it was a deeper wider convex, for even stronger grinds ---

They’re really fun and you can do a lot of new stuff on them. I play mine with just one cap (two is a bit heavy for me) and it’s still very smooth. The Quest is also very durable (while I was filming a video, the yoyo flew out of my hands onto the cement and launched about 25 feet while pounding on the ground a ton, picked it up and still smooth). The only thing I don’t like that much is that they’re kind of hard to get out. [Next page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/lateral-caps-dope-or-nope/48639.md?page=2)
