Show off your beaters, your torn up anno, beat to death plastic, the yoyo you walk the dog with, etc.
One of my favorite thing about my old vehicles and instruments is the patina, or the wear that they get only from the passing of time and usage. I find the beauty in the imperfect and the worn.
I think it’s really cool to see how used your throw is, and what kind of life it has lived.
My oldest Yoyo is my Wide Sport, i think it’s actually held up nicely considering what it’s been through. This is a pre-polish photo that I have already posted, closest I’ve got to a patina’d throw lol, but I figured I should start the thread with at least one example lol.
i so wanna be the type of guy that has a beater and from time to time i convince myself i am… but then i almost have a heart attack when even my cheapest throw even comes close to taking a ding. it hurts my soul to think about some of those annos taking a hit. i know its a toy, but the preciouses
I tend to be very careful with my throws, but my Lævateinn got a bit beat. I threw this for about a year straight since I didn’t have anything else at the time except a V3 and a Crystal.
