On a related note, is there a substantive difference between fixed-axle and responsive? In my mind, responsive play includes yoyos with a bearing, as long as they come up with a tug, whereas fixed-axle looks to be even more responsive because there’s no bearing so the string catches easier. I guess where I’m coming from is I have a Circle City Warbird that’s set up with a thin bearing to play responsive, but it feels completely different from playing with a Butterfly, so I’m wondering if there’s a real difference in style there.
