I am going minimal and practical. I’d like just a few pieces of functional art.
What I have so far:
Affogato Onedrop M1 - This will serve as my pocket throw
Watermelon RBC - My metal responsive
What I would like your opinion on:
As you can see above, I’m trying to find some of the best of the best anodization jobs, on throws that are proven. I need a main player. If it’s older, even better, and if it has a nice blast on it for grinding, even better.
Thank you for your advice, I’m fine with using BST to obtain
Goal here- 3 yoyos to play possibly rest of life. Done with the addiction for more, want to focus on just playing
man I’m starting to feel this! I’ve really begun thinking I’m getting distracted chasing yoyos i dont “need” persay instead of just focusing on honing the craft. im planting my flag as a player first and a collector a distant second. i know that doesnt answer your question ultimitely just wanted to relate lol
Short answer something modded or dyed. A higby painted YoYo would fit so good in my collection. Got to commission someone when I have some money to do something artsy to a YoYo cause that’s not in my skills
counter point, if its supposed to last you forever from here on, its cost over time isnt as bad. say it over and over until you believe. then splurge on a mowl obsession+
Pdx-yo swamp monster in the swamp ooze colorway comes to mind. Not super old or new, released in 2018. Great playing mono with sharp spikes to matador and wild looking annno. Finish is nice and grinds well. They were going for an oxidized copper look, similar to the statue of liberty.
I would recommend something like a G2 covenant or banshee SS, G2 is basically functional art (that’s the point of their company!). I would also recommend getting a bimetal (maybe like a TP MSG). That yo-yo is very pretty irl (the blue color is gorgeous), and it plays incredibly well, slow and pretty. And then I would also recommend getting some kind of classic yoyo, (dark magic 2 is great). Sometimes the old school classic look of a yoyo is just what you need!
