They think correctly. True story, if I had to get rid of all of my yoyos except one, I’d pick a Kickside. At some point you may want to turn it into a dual-silicone Kickside, though. I am continually mystified that YYJ clings so strongly to hybrid on that model. If you want it to be quieter, put a teeeensy (teeeeeeeeeensy) amount of thin oil (sewing machine oil works nicely) into the bearing. Play it for a while to break it in, and if it’s not quiet enough do it again. If you put too much oil in, it’ll get responsive and take a long time to break in.
That all said, getting a new yoyo has been shown in many cases to be a great motivating force to practice and/or explore new tricks. But. As a beginner, I would recommend sticking with the same yoyo for at least several months before getting a second one, and wait until you’ve been throwing in the vicinity of a year before getting too many others. A Kickside won’t hold you back, I promise.
Me, By any yoyo you want, but buy a 10ball bearing by 1drop with it. it is perhaps the quietest, and smoothest bearing i have come across.
It reacquires some breaking in but is worth it!
I already tried lightly lubing it. Any other suggestions for quietness? Because usually when I finish my homework is after dinner when my dad likes it quiet.
well the reason the kickside is loud is because of the response. hybrid response is part starburst, which is the loudest of any response type. i would sand down the starburst. not too much though or else the binds will become slippy.
