Hello, I have been yo-yoing for about a month and i flew through the beginner and intermeidate trick portions. I was using a duncan mosquito, it couldnt handle the advanced tricks at all so i got to looking. I orderd a black Dark Magic and some green string, i havent gotten the yo-yo yet, but have heard some pretty good things, but i wanted to know if i orderd a yo-yo to advanced for me and also some tips for a good upkeep on it.
Its a nice yoyo, a good choice. It was the first yoyo I ever used, and there certainly wasn’t anything about it that made it hard to learn, quite the opposite. Not much upkeep really.
For upkeep, just change strings. I don’t know what else to say except lube your bearing once in awhile. That’s a long while too. If it’s not repsonsive enough put THICK lube on the bearing and if you want it more unresponsive, use THIN lube on the bearing.
One more thing, try to not hit on concrete. I have a YYE DM and I let a few freinds try it out. They aren’t knowledged yoyoers and they hit the concrete hard a few times and walked the dog on it too. What that does is scratch the yoyo up. For a regular DM I don’t think it’s so noticable but on mine it is. Either way, those chips and scratches will hurt your hand. ;D
