Just recently got back into yoyoing for the first time since I was in HS. I had a YYJ Hitman X that I got back in like 2014. I cleaned the bearing and it’s playing great!
Still decided I should get myself a decent metal yoyo since the only one I had was an old dinged up DV888. I decided to buy a Shutter.
After a week or so of playing with the Hitman X and the new Shutter, I’m getting much smoother throws and longer sleeps from the Hitman X. Is that to be expected? I guess I was expecting more from the Shutter. Maybe something’s wrong with my throwing technique?
I’d love any tips or information you all could share on this. Should I really be getting much longer sleep times with the old JJY than the brand new Shutter?
It can be either your throwing technique but the hitman x is 69.7 grams and the shutter is 65.5g also how rim weighted is the hitman compared to the shutter?
The Hitman X has a good pedigree. It’s always been a smooth player. No reason it can’t stand up to a shutter or many other higher priced metals. There’s nothing magical about aluminum yoyos that make them better than others.
