It’s where the response system goes. You’ll see what we mean when you get the yo-yo, but…do you know how to bind? If not, you won’t be able to return the Legacy to your hand because it made to be unresponsive.
I don’t know why everyone seems to think they need to do this. YYJ didn’t make them like this just to give you this unnecessary job. Mine is completely unresponsive with the paper. You can take it out if you want, but it isn’t really necessary.
I have left the paper in my Meteor for the past 4 months, and its still going good. Removing the paper really doesn’t do anything much, it just makes it sit further into the recess, but it will still be unresponsive if you don’t remove it.
And yes, there is paper under all yoyos with YYJ silicone. (I think. If the sili looks white, theres paper under it. If you can see the yoyo color under it, theres nothing there.)
Actually more recently they have been removing the paper backing.
This has to happen on the New Breed for it to work properly and the Legacy “should” already have had this done.
