Yeah, It’s been a tough fight, but I decided I’ll stay away from hybrids (sounds mean to say :)). ---

@Zero You never absolutley(SP) need an unresponsive yoyo. I think playing responsive is more fun then unresponsive(Except for competing). For Sqeez you are learning fast great. I would suggest on the fatigue, you will get used to it. WhenI began I threw for an hour and lost power. Now I can throw for 3 hr+ with out loseing power. As for the Lynn Fury it will last a long time. Just every month or so add a little lube to protect the bearing. But remember if you play unresponsive you can’t do Fly away dimounts. ;D Brayten \>\_\> ---

So the Lyn Fury arrived in the morning. I must say I’m really impressed! The response system is really appealing to me. Sits tight in my hand and the plasic feels nice to touch. The bearing definitely has to break in I guess. Overall it’s 9/10! [http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/6924/p3120283.th.jpg](http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/6924/p3120283.jpg) ---

Noticed one thing - Is it just me or do the o-rings get the string all dirty? :wink: ---

yes they make a black stripe on the string where they touch. eventually with enough play, they will stop doing that, but it doesn’t really change play. if the string is getting dirty more where you hold it, then u are making it dirty. ---

> [@theyoster109](#): > > @Zero You never absolutley(SP) need an unresponsive yoyo. I think playing responsive is more fun then unresponsive(Except for competing). I’m just sayin’, Must be hard to grind with a mosquito. If you dont switch to an unresponsive, Im pretty sure that it’s gonna be hard to learn how to grind. But, you are correct. You never absolutely need one, I’m just saying that it’s best to switch at that point instead of spend longer trying unresponsive tricks on a responsive.

Off topic: I think the boom is back! So many stores are selling yoyo’s! ---

Don’t know what Boom is but I can tell you that I’m enjoying the LF very much. I washed the bearing and lubed it and now its response is like in the middle. Sometimes it requires me to bind but mostly it doesn’t. It’s a great way for me to learn binding in the process… ---

a boom is what us yoyoers call the day of judgement. apocalypse if you will, but that sounds way to harsh. welcome to the cult… jk, yoyoing is a toy/hobbie/sport, not a cult… yet but the boom is just where yoyoing begins to become more popular again. ---

Today I’ve met a guy in my school who is pretty good I’d say (he’s doing tricks like Skin the Gerbil and so on… Btw, he has 888) and I’ve learned a lot from him. I’m definitely going to spend some time with this man 🙂 ---

I decided to silicone my LF. And guess what: It’s absolutely amazing! As everyone promised - tight binds, no snags, etc.! I took some pictures for you to judge 🙂 [http://img534.imageshack.us/img534/7509/p3270282.th.jpg](http://img534.imageshack.us/img534/7509/p3270282.jpg) [http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/6811/p3270283.th.jpg](http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/6811/p3270283.jpg) [http://img716.imageshack.us/img716/3561/p3270284.th.jpg](http://img716.imageshack.us/img716/3561/p3270284.jpg) ---

Thank you. I also tried satining on it (eventho I can only grind on my finger ATM). I guess it should be more polished but I can’t think of anything that would soften it up. Maybe some really smooth nail polisher… [http://img704.imageshack.us/img704/6103/p32702822.th.jpg](http://img704.imageshack.us/img704/6103/p32702822.jpg) [Previous page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/question-concerning-yoyo-beginnings/11774.md?page=1)
