Yes but which plastics or metals to get?
Actually jensen won worlds 2010 on a stock northstar. he was out to have fun and look at one of his new videos heās doing combs on a wooden yoyo. insanity!
I agree. If the yoyo was designed properly, then itās really up to the ability and mentality of the player.
I can have fun all day long with a Classic as easily as I can with some of my high-dollar throws. I think as a player, our mentality plays a big role. Since Iām into this for fun and enjoyment, price is not a factor. Well it is, because if I canāt afford it, I canāt get it. Other than that, price is merely a number for the purposes of commerce and trade.
Since Iām not competing, I donāt āneedā a special yoyo. Iām not going to knock for one second any competitive player who really needs to have a certain yoyo(regardless of cost) to play at the level they play at. They are at a level I will never achieve. And Iām perfectly fine with that.
Off topic, but I hadnāt seen that vid before. You know why thatās an awesome performance? Because the kid is absolutely beaming about the feedback heās getting, and itās influencing his performance. Itās so much better and more fun to watch than he intended it to be. Youāre watching a great player discovering his own skill right there on stage.
This is so the reason why string hits and technicality are the philosophically the wrong way to go. Yoyoing is an art, and this video is proof of that.
Definitly. I do like plastic with metal rims though.
I really donāt care. Iām not a competition player so if i can have fun with it, i really donāt care how much it cost or what itās made of. iāve been putting down my CLYW avalanche for a while to throw my new Yomega power spin. iāve been having fun playing it and letting others throw it too.
Today I realized something. Yoyos are like pens. They can be made out of different materials, have different ink cartridges, some are more smooth than others, but everyone has a preference. Buying an expensive yoyo thinking it will make you better, is like buying an expensive pen and expecting to have better handwriting.

that is so signiture worthy!
Does anyone really think buying a more expensive yoyo will make them a better player? You always see this presumption, but I doubt many people are that simple-minded.
I donāt buy expensive yoyos because I think Iāll magically be able to hit more tricks. The reason I pay so much is because I want the yoyo. Either I like the design, the rarity, or something else about it that makes it worth whatever price to me.
ā¦but, I also wouldnāt go so far as to say material or construction has absolutely no effect on play. That is just as far to the other extreme, for me, and does not jive with my personal experience.
i could could spend a week with only a whip and ill be all set! its about the player, not the yoyo! unless your trying spirit bomb woth an imperialā¦
Many people think this because thatās how it is with everything else. You get what you pay for. A 70 inch HD tv is better than a dial tv with no remote. Yoyo is preference.
Omg!!! What new video?!?!
where have you been broski
You win.
Lolā¦still wanna see it though
