So i started throwing with a maverick and quickly fell in love with yoyoing. Then I bought a Trigger and realized the potential for unresponsive play but i missed the feel of the metal throw in my hand. So I ordered the Supernova on Tuesday right after the Election ended and it’s finally here! It’s so beautiful! I now believe that my addiction is in full swing. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/8/9/4/8944e305a7f4e8b6f6fd709106f6b49151bb9768.jpeg) ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/7/9/e/79e73d283326daa9ac3e77262565e77994067c7b.jpeg) ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/6/7/5/6759c6cc492e6c0cb267a19748f5275589308c45.jpeg) ---

My first metal was the super mediocre Sidekick Pro … so I do kinda want to forget it 🙂 I kinda fell into the trap of ordering yo-yos from Amazon when I started out, so none of them were particularly good. My first metal from a real yo-yo store that I remember is the Zeekio Continuum (collab with dif-e-yo). And my first real favorite metal was a b-grade Deep State in the only colorway left… that yellow and purple splash lotus one on the left here: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/d/3/5/d358c33fd9a125d6739e87ae6e20d9a84776f6c2.jpeg) ---

It’s odd that yoyoing can bring so much happiness. Dazzling Dave says it’s the world’s greatest toy. Very cool! I’m really happy for ya! Make the simple…amazing. I actually made up that slogan years ago. I didn’t. ---
