Creep and Mowl Q
Haha! Except the bearing! What a piece of junk IQ is.
Weirdly enough it’s probably the Akita for me. It’s not my favorite yoyo, it’s not even my favorite bimetal, but it’s just good and reliable. It’s super comfortable and not exhausting to play with, so whenever I just want to play for several hours straight the Akita is what I reach for the most.
I don’t pick it up every day, but with the amount of extended practice sessions I’ll have on it, I definitely think it’s my most played in terms of hours.
thats a bummer. my experience with the bearing in the IQ is that its shockingly smooth and quiet. its also the only bearing ive ever had thats not gone noisey, crunchy or needed cleaning since i’ve owned it lol. to be frank, ive been so impressed with this bearing i’ve been meaning to ask @yyfben2.deactivated if the bearing in the IQ is just their standard center trac, because if so i’m about to buy 5 to have on hand lol
a lot of the yoyos in my list are ralso not my favorite yoyo, but get a ton of play time. i wonder what it is that prevents us from thinking the yoyos we play the most are our favorites lol
I feel like it’s the standard center track found in most YYF. Mine has been smooth too.
At least in my case I think it’s because I’m picking up the Akita with a specific intent when I throw. It’s not something I’m going to pick up if I only feel like throwing for 5-10 minutes, being a bimetal makes it something I’m not really in love with treating like an EDC and having it passively pick up dings, and if want pure performance there’s things I’m going to reach for instead. I pick up the Akita when I know I want to have a really long session practicing something, and if I’m going to do something else while throwing then I’ll grab something else.
Although maybe it is my favorite yoyo subconsciously, and I’m just trying to cope and come up with an excuse for why it isn’t LOL.
JK. Mine is about the same. such an amazing throw.
Ari from Atmos Project, best yoyo i have at moment. Second best is akita clyw.
Glad to see more love for the Akita. I’ve also been playing with Motion’s new Centrifugal a lot.
your reasons have convinced me at least, i had a lot of the same thoughts when realizing my most played yoyos arent necessarily my favorites (with few exceptions)
i was bummed for you tbh LOL glad to hear its going strong
Thats funny! lol
Does the centrifugal play anything like an orbital gtx?
I switch way too often to say which I played most this year. And I can’t complain about any of the ones I purchased this year. The market is full of great products
cant think of a single one that gets more play time than others?
Based on pure play time Deep State,Pano,Fallen Angel Ti, and the Ti Triton V3.
