Ah-ha!
Thank you so much Kyo
Doing a regen isnât technically a throw, but the yoyo will spin as long as if you had thrown it normally. So with regens, you could essentially have the yoyo never stop spinning. You can see why this would be a problem for contests like 1 minute 1 throw, etc.
This is the most common question my wife is asked: âHave you seen a yoyo laying around? No, not that one the one. No, not that one, the other one.â So please do tell, where is my yoyo?
Second question:
Will my wife and I become closer with such conversations or will I get thrown out of the house?
Third question:
Hot chilli yoyo vibes like a rock tumbler! It needs serious help, looks perfectly mint, axle is straight, checked everything. Worth chuckin into the river or sending to someone with some serious machining skills? (This is really the only serious question. Get the answer right please 
)
Can a yoyo be responsive and still be a good yoyo for string tricks? I read a lot of things acting like responsive is bad. I have nothing against unresponsive, but I am rather curious about this.
Also if you bind the opposite way the yoyo spins it binds, but if you bind the same way it is spinning it is a regen? Is that kinda the way it works?
No, I donât think people imagine responsive as âbadâ, just different. It will snap back to your hand more easily with string layers. Giving a responsive yoyo slack will also cause it to come back to your hand. These two things make certain string tricks exceptionally difficult, although not necessarily âimpossibleâ.
Many people recommend staying familiar with responsive play because it adds tricks that are otherwise impossible⌠so itâs an extra dimension of fun to the hobby. Others recommend it because you need to be precise and clean to pull off certain tricks on responsive yoyos; therefore, they are seen as good training aids.
Iâll buy either of those arguments. Mainly for me when I play responsive itâs also fixed-axle, so I go right to that kind of fun. Now that I play a bit of fixed-axle, I donât find responsive bearing-axle play as fun. If Iâm going to go that way, I like to go ALL the way.
No, thatâs not it. If you bind the opposite way, youâve just managed to engage the response in a sub-optimal way. Some trick binds require doing it this opposite way, but for the most part itâs counter-productive.
Doing a regen just means that as the yoyo comes back to your hand, you snap it around your hand or a finger in such a way that it continues along its path but just goes right back out again. Ideally you impart extra energy into the motion so that the yoyo regains much more spin. There must be videos aplenty out there. âLoopingâ tricks are essentially the same motion⌠you donât actually catch the yoyo, you just send it back out again. With 1A play, the idea isnât to do fast loops, though, but just that single âturnaroundâ so that the yoyo goes back out with extra energy.
Before unresponsive throws existed, everyone used responsive yoyos for string tricks. So no, unresponsive isnât bad in any way.
And a regen is simply a way to regenerate the spin of the yoyo without having to catch and rethrow it. You still bind how you normally would, just instead of catching it, you do a loop.
What came first the chicken or the egg or the Yoyo.
What? Itâs yoyo related
should i remove side thingys before cleaning crucial bearings? if so how
Answer this. Howâs my dear Superstar and Dietz doing?
Look at my favorite yoyo list 
The dietz is alright.
Not trying to come in here as a trollololol, but âfull-sizedâ âMidsizeâ and âundersizeâ are all opinionated terms.
I almost feel like the guy in the video doesnât get the questionâŚ
I kid. 
Doesnât get clearer than that.
yes
with a push pin or needle, go along the edge one way, then the other, until you feel the point of whatever youâre using get caught on something. Then just try to pop it out.
Then the shields should come off with a little tap.

Why do some 7075 yo-yos have a titanium axle? Unless there is a helicoil insert or something of that nature, wouldnât the titanium axle start to strip away the 7075 aluminum?
Shouldnât strip unless itâs screwed together incorrectly to begin with. Helicoil insert could also strip depending on material; titanium is pretty tough stuff.
The main purpose of a titanium axle is that it does not bend as easily as a steel one. Not that steel ones bend particularly easily, either.

The Ti axles are a neat bullet line on an advertisement, thatâs about it.
And yes, using them on an aluminum thread isnât the greatest idea in the world for long term durability, but in our case it should be fine unless abused or used incorrectly.

Why do grooved bearings hinder string wraps?
Just a little question ive had in mind for a while⌠when was unresponsive play invented, who invented it, and what was the first unresponsive yoyo? I think the earliest unresponsive ive seen was like in 2001-2002 or so.
