So I’ve been in the mood to get a new yoyo, something I can bring to school and not have to worry about it. I’m looking at getting either a lyn fury or a pocket change. I want something fun to play with, not sure if you can categorize a yoyo as fun because a lot are. And what are some good pads for the 2010 FH2 and the Drifter? Stock pads are always super snaggy for me even when they get worn out. ---

Projams are the best plastic, EVER. for 5 dollars or less. as for the pads,they shouldnt be snaggy once they’re worn out… O.o But, if you want to switch pads, Silicone stickers and Dif-Pads are always a good choice. ---

I always use the standard size dif pads in my FHZ. If you are looking at duncan stickers I would recommend the duncan sili pads now. They last much longer than the friction stickers. For a FHZ you probably want the 12 mm size. That’s the hole diameter. ---

I have .555 in my drifter. Becasue I didn’t have any standards. But I would get Satandard Size. The .555 almost bind too loose. ---

as for what yoyo you take to school, it depends on how comfortable you feel taking one. I’ll take my peak, P1, or even a mint yoyo, because I feel comfortable taking them. In fact, I’m taking my Mint Battosai tomorrow ;D ---

For an inexpensive yoyo that seems fun I would go with the YYJ Legacy. Though I have never tried one, I have heard great things about it. Also if you’re willing to throw in an extra 10ish dollars you can never go wrong with a protostar. ---

I have a legacy and it’s amazing, but not a yoyo I want to take to school. I don’t like the YYJ adjustable gap that much, I have shims but I rather not. I really like the lyn fury, pocket change and techno 2, but I only plan on buying one. ---

I am aware of that, but it has a wider gap than the journey. ---

I bring my metals to school… :🙂 I’ve made a little foam box for protection… but I can understand how you’re wary of bringing that much to school… Just choose a plastic that you feel comfy with. Or maybe not a plastic, depending on your price range. ---

I think I’m going to get the techno 2. It’s something different from everything I have and with some silicone and a clean bearing, if needed, from what I hear should be amazing for only $10.
