The yoyo opinion topic is so full of different opinions that it is valid to have all kinds of reviewers out there. Some reviews have merits of being purely entertainment, some others have merit of being purely systematic testing and analysis. And everything thats in-between this two ends of the spectrum is valid as well. It is up to each one of us to determine which type of review we consume, either for information or entertainment purposes. personally, I do not watch reviews for entertainment purposes, since I’m looking for analytical info when i watch a review. I still think @Mazdarx7FD reviews are probably some of the only ones i can trust, because not only he does have a solid foundation as a player, but he has good understanding of yoyo design as well. I know someone like him will give a good description of how a yoyo plays. I’ve only made one review ever and i intend to make more. I tried my best to make it as descriptive and objective as i could.

I think that your review was a very solid and objective one. And I actually enjoyed watching it. It was both entertaining and systematic imo. ---

I do really cear about what the Yo-Yo can do because I am still young and I can’t buy a yo-yo every month and if I buy a yo-yo and it’s bad at speed it would really make me sad ---

As someone who is not “a super skilled player” who does like to give my input on YoYo’s I try and describe how it feels to me and why I like playing it. I think all reviews should be looked at from the angle of an “opinion” based on my skill set and collection. I have never done a video review just written reviews of my personal thoughts on, shape, feel, finish, looks, and performance (based on my abilities) I don’t look for folks to make purchases based off my thoughts - some people have messaged me privately and shared that they felt the same things I described. Do yo-yos need a review? Probably not it’s a piece of metal on a string - how much can really be said… but I do have to say there are a lot of differences that even us “not as skilled folk” can feel. Just my 2cents for what it’s worth 🙂 ---

Thanks bro but I believe that I seriously need to expand my trick repertoire and technical knowledge to be able to really bring out the potential from a yoyo. I’m doing reviews speaking of what I would like to know about a yoyo though. ---

One aspect that i would like to address is both the “no one really says anything bad about yoyos anymore” and “every reviewer says the same about yoyos”. Theres a reason why the stereotype/joke/meme “great yoyo, its smooth as glass, it can handle anything you throw at it, etc etc” exists. The reality is that there are no _bad_ yoyos anymore. I’ve watched reviews when the reviewer said something not positive about the yoyo and they are liked for that. I have yet to find a modern yoyo that is objectively bad. And when every yoyo in the market is good, thats when not only a players skill but their understanding of yoyo design and terminology becomes important. A shutter and a draupnir can both perform the same tricks. But which one provides the playfeel that suggest to go faster or slower. Which one aids you with regens, that kind of stuff can only be perceived by a reviewer who is both skilled and knowledgeable. ---
