No way. šŸ˜› When I started I wanted to play with advanced yo-yos, cause they look cooler, but I was playing responsive. To make the yo-yo responsive, Iā€™d loop it like 5 times or as many needed for it to respond. As I went along, Iā€™d play semi-responsive and loop it less times so sometimes it would respond, sometimes not. In my mind, that loop makes the string on the yo-yo more secure, as that little thin piece of string does not look like it can hold a yo-yo good, so I do it twice just because. It is a bit more responsive, but hardly noticeable to me, and I like it. It has become my signature in the photos. Black string, with two loops. ;D Pajama Man told me all my yo-yos have knots in them. šŸ˜ƒ ---

Interestingā€¦ But couldnt you just put in a slim bearing, an extra loop, and maybe poly/cotton string back then to make it responsive? ---

I do not, but suffice it to say that the Gnarwhal is not a mini. Itā€™s around 52mm in diameter, putting it even above ā€œundersizedā€ throws. ---
