I just got my new Surge in the mail this afternoon. So far it seems like a pretty fun throw. Anyone else get one today? ---

I like mine too, but I don’t think it plays a well as my metal yoyo’s. It doesn’t seem to take as much string in the gap and it feels a bit more responsive then I was hoping, however it might just need some break in time or maybe some thin lube on the bearing. ---

If you think it’s already too responsive, thin lube is going to make it more responsive. ---

It doesn’t seem to take as much string in the gap and it feels a bit more responsive then I was hoping, however it might just need some break in time or maybe some thin lube on the bearing. I’m using thick Metz on it the thickest of all strings and I can still get like 3 layers of string. Try shims if the gap is to small for you. ---

Just got mine with a yo-life t-shirt. It plays AMAZING, it plays best with a trifecta though. Tight binds, and a more comfortableshape than the classic. ---

I wanted to get a Surge, until I saw that it weighed 70 grams, so I got a Classic instead. I’m only 23, but for some reason most yoyos over 68 grams make my wrist snap when I throw them, and after about 20-30 throws with my wrist snapping I have to completely quit throwing for a couple of days due to the pain. The only exception has been with YYR’s DreadnoughtG. It’s weighs 79 grams, but for some reason didn’t cause my wrist to snap. ---

Latnay, that sounds more like a technique problem with your throw. Do you get the same problem throwing straight down in front of you? If not, you may be doing something wrong on your break aways. A difference of a few grams shouldn’t have such a drastic result. ---

On a side note, did you guys buy a shirt along with your Surge? And what color Surge did you guys get? I got a red/white Surge with a Slacker t-shirt. ---

I’m a little skeptical about the gap width. 3.55mm? Hmmm… [Next page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/new-yyj-surge/55110.md?page=2)
