Well there are a few.

Any yoyo with rubber rims.

all 888’s

any H shape yoyo. Yes including the genesis.

Other than that I think I’m good.

Vict is actually my favorite YYJ. Much rather a Vict to a hitman or a DM or a BK. And I also kind of like the 888, specially the 09 aqua one. I dont like any deep cut angulars, like the speed maker and the C-13, the rims hurt to much.

It WAS cheap. The v.1’s were a lot better.

The Aerobie Aerospin was my first yoyo. I had to frequently search the room for lost washers and O-rings until i finally lost one on vacation in Illinois. Thats when i decided to get a DM. I’m much happier with it 🙂

Velocity v.1, the shuttle response wasn’t consistent. I ended taking those out and putting silicone in the recess, pretty nice now.

Shinwoo Phantoms, I’m not saying they’re bad but I bought two of them for 3a and if I could go back I’d only pick up one, or add ten more bucks and get a PGM.

I bought a velocity v.1 for a friend but I threw it before I gave it to him. I’m not sure if it was the response or the yoyo or both, but it wasn’t a fun throw. It was good and I could do everything with it, but it just wasn’t fun to use.

You ask me why do I hate an FHZ?  
I ask you why you hate 888s.  
Opinion.  
Preference.  
Choice.  
That’s why.

They weren’t siliconed by CLYW. The silicone was too recessed for our liking. That’s where the thud comes from.

A long time ago, I saw a yoyo on ebay that I had never seen before but it looked like some sort of metal from Aoda so I got it.

It came and I immediately found it to be quite heavy, and a very bad spacer set-up that made the string slip to one side.

Also I found it was not from Aoda but some other random small chinese toy company.

Over the months, I tried modding that think like crazy and nothing worked.

I spent 8 shipped on the yoyo and about 35 dollars on other stuff trying to mod it.

In the end, I sold it to a guy who actually had lots of experience in modding and had a lathe and whatnot, for 4 shipped.

Lost a bunch of money on that thing.

I am just glad that its out of my life…

J.

Ahhh…so that’s why I liked the Ogopogo more than the SvZB :P.
