I’m thinking about getting a one drop or markmont with side effects, more for the novelty than anything. What do you guys reccomend getting? or should I not? ---

Thats an odd question. Usually Id recommend getting a throw only if you like the look of it but if all you want is side effects cant go wrong with something like the reboot, rebirth or kamuraiju. ---

Second run of bathysphere is coming at some point. That’s the best side effects throw that will be available anytime soon. Panorama/diorama are good too. Actually, every side effects throw I’ve tried has been good now that I think about it. ---

The answer is yes of course buy them all. ---

Selection is pretty good right now if you are looking to buy new. I’d pick one that looks good to you with or without side effects. ---

Side effects are excellent in my opinion , a great way to customise a throw both in looks and playability giving it the flavour you want. They do introduce a bit of vibe that some say you can tune out. I’ve never been able to do that, but I also never had the urge. I feel ultra smoothness is something more desirable for collectors than players and a bit of vibe actually gives some feedback during tricks. ---

My SE throws usually come smooth as heck, if I buy new and then get slightly vibey once I start switching the effects out. ---

Don’t be afraid to give those Side Effect yo-yos a tiny bit of extra tightening. You are squishing the o-rings and they can get pretty tight. Obviously you don’t want to be crazy with it but if you tighten in a normal fashion there will be “play” in the rubber of the o-rings. Tighten that down a tad more and that vibe will get much better. ---

You’re supposed to lube the o rings and if you over tighten it, the half will just like scoot around. I tried to crank my pano to death but it doesn’t work. This is actually my favorite part about side effects. You can’t strip the Yoyo. ---

It’s amazing the things that sometimes don’t occur to you. A touch of oil on those side effects would be very helpful. Thanks for sharing that. I said those things, but I’ve actually only tried 2 other SE throws and the only one I own is the Deep State but I’ve had 3 and the same has applied to all of them. ---

I actually need to amend my statement a bit. I forget that I have modified my Side Effects in order to use a narrow C in my Deep States. As a result I am able to tighten them together more than the yo-yo and it’s parts will allow so I can really crank it down. This makes quite a difference actually and I could see where it wouldn’t apply to stock SE’s in a standard configuration. However, I contest that modifying you SE’s in the way I have “would” allow you to crank them down and likely dampen if not eliminate that vibe. Though I have no way to test this out without buying another Side Effect yo-yo. 🙄🙄:thinking::thinking:😁😁😩😩 ---

I would recommend ultralights and flats for your side effects. These just seem to be a lot more universal than others. ---

i personally lean towards ul or spikes because you can utilize them to do pull starts, fingerspins, and or matador style spike tricks with them. ---

Side effects always have a gap under normal conditions even when cranked as hard as possible, eventually the o-ring will slip due to friction before you’ll strip the side effects.
