So, what does anybody out there think about this new concept? Motorized yoyoing, what could that mean for competition yoyoing, as well as just fun, freestyling? Also, I would hope that they wouldn't allow this to be used for competition, it just doesn't seem fair if someone is competing with a motor yoyo and someone else isn't. However, my little brother could use the help learning to bind.
But I wouldnât get one. At least not yet. I love the idea of throwing the yoyo, having a set amount of time to do my thing, and bringing it back. Granted, with bearings, our tricks can go for very long times, but that doesnât retract from the fact that theyâre limited.
We donât need yoyos to spin longer. At least not for what weâre doing right now. Would we find a way to innovate to match this change in technology? Sometimes, like with ball-bearings, we do, but might this be the next Hubstacks, where nobody really cares?
I guess Iâll have to wait and see. Right now, Iâm not intrigued.
what I didnât see was is it unresponsive or not. they did bind to bring it up but none of the tricks where like hanging slack tricks. Everything in that video could have been done with a responsive yoyo.
Does anybody know?
its cool, but i dont want that happening. as a side note, has anyone ever gone âwhoa! Dude is that thing electric?â while your throwing? its so annoying they think yoyoing has degenerated that far⌠i tell em its a ball bearing, then they procede to make a perverted joke
Everyone should probably just calm down. With the reaction this thing is getting from the community I donât really have any doubt that this is going to go down like light up yoyoâs. It will be a novelty item, probably for beginners, and we will all stick to buying high quality metals and plastics as usual. Nothing is going to change if we donât let it. After all, weâre the oneâs buying the throws, weâre the oneâs who keep companyâs who make good throws alive. That is all.
Itâd be interesting as training wheels for learning tricks. Like Iâm learning White Buddha right now, and am about 10 seconds throw time away from completing it. but it would be helpful to have an everspinning yoyo, like practicing picture tricks with a dead yoyo. But it does feel inherently wrong. One of my mechanic and innovator buddies was thinking of creating a yoyo with a motor in one side and generator in the other. This is it.
happens all thew time theyre like âhey that thing is electric its doin all the tricks for youâ then im like " if it does all the tricks for you i wanna see you do it" then they put a big ding in my yoyo
