So I’ve been looking at perhaps getting one of Doc’s “The Weekender”.
I’m looking for a responsive throw that I can carry around back and forth to work and work on my string tricks (still learning). Maybe a jack of all trades, master of none that will do a little bit of everything.
Was curious what you all would recommend???
(I like having options plus I like to pull the greater communities expansive knowledge)
Let me know what you all think.
Thank you all in advance for your input/knowledge in helping me make an “informed” decision!!
I love my Weekender (the newer style with the FS center. That said, it is a small bearing. In my hands it is capable of “most” of my basic string tricks BUT not a TON of spin time - so no long combos are long string tricks. Not sure how new and/or good you are at throwing - so wanted to toss that out there.
Another to consider as well is the Thing - there’s a Doc Pop Version. It’s a half-spec C. It’s also a poly yoyo instead of a metal yoyo if that matters you.
Both are great throws - you can’t go wrong with either in my opinion. I’m sure there are plenty of other options out there as well - but I love those 2.
My Workhorse is a jack of all, master of none as well - but those aren’t readily available - you would have to search BSTs, etc.
I’m also carrying around a Duncan Freehand One which is a blast.
Weekenders and PLTPS are in stock @DocPop 's shop, so thats an easy choice.
If you like hunting the BST I would like to give the YYF Confusion a recommendation, there were a few runs and you could probably find a cheap one these days.
