My 4th yoyo

Hi! I m form italy and i m throwing yoyo from 2 month and i fell in love…i play yoyo after work 1 or 2 hours a day. I m learning trick with youtube and some app…i started with the plastic arrow and after learned basic tricks i bought a shutter and a horizon…i started with shutter but i feel better with the horizon…today i bought the YYF essence and the wilderness…i didn t like the essence but i fell in love with the wilderness…i feel good with horizion and wilderness but better with the last one…what kind of yoyo is that?r there some similar or better yoyo? What kind of string is on the wilderness??and which bearing?

Up!!

Benvenuti!! :italy:

they will all come with a center trac or concave bearing of some sort, they are all fine and I would not worry about which is which

for an easy to get string I reccomend buying a large packet of Kitty string fat, (or similar)

once you have developed your skills and start to mobe to conplex trick you might want to swap to a thinner or fatter string depending on which styles you like

to maintain bearings you can clean them dry them and lube them with a tiny amount of thin yoyo lubricant (lot of videos on youtibe explaining this)

I hope this helps!! :slight_smile:

Personally, if I clean my bearing(which I may only do if it gets noisy or responsive), I will soak in mineral spirits for half a day, then let it dry til the next day. I have never had good luck with any lubricant. I run dry and have had good results.

If you have a yoyo you enjoy, stick with that for a while. Buying yoyos can become addictive. It’s fun to try different things out, but you really only need one good yoyo to learn. Maybe get a counterweight and try some 5A with one to spice things up?
