A dinged yoyo is not devastated. Happens all the time and they continue to play just fine.  
If one finds it devastating, then I would class that as a first world problem.

> i remember meeting a good friend of mine named Noel Kunz who is a professional yoyoer and a great guy. He let me play his personal drop bear and the first thing i noticed was how beat it was. It was what some say had been devastated. its a common trend among the professionals i have met. Their personal yoyos are somewhat ding and smashed, but they seem to love them the most.

Definitely. I was with a pro once who dinged his yoyo into this gnarly cement, imbedding some concrete into the yoyo. He took a file or knife, can’t remember, and cut it out and kept on playing.

I wanna have a beat yoyo like that.
