That is excellent craftsmanship right there! I agree with pink but I am also partial to half and half :thinking:

Stunning as usual. These would be so captivating to hold. Iā€™m thinking that my daughter would actually love to try her hand at this. :face_with_monocle::face_with_monocle:

Modding is a lost art. And you my friend, are the artist; amazing work!

Not completely lost. There are still some really great modders actively modding. It does feel like a dying art though. I know what you mean.

It would be sick if it made a come back but yoyos just donā€™t suck like they used to. Haha. Not much incentive for most people when they can just get a throw that already plays well.

Happy birthday, btw @Snoopy!

It makes sense why itā€™s dying. Still sad to see though.

Iā€™m thinking of getting a yo-yo to modā€¦ Iā€™m thinking a fast 201 or an FHZ. What do you think?

Freehands are good for modding. Might be better to go with a freehand one though. Much easier to get and much more affordable. Honestly, butterfly XT is a fun and easy Yoyo to mod. There are a lot of different things you can do to them with minimal tools. Also, $6 at target means you can get a bunch to experiment with and not have to worry about messing up your only Yoyo. I would start with something like that.

Honestly a good one to mod is either a butterfly or butterfly xt just cause the plastic is pretty easy to mess with and not crack the YoYo or whatever

Ahh Seth beat me too it

ā€œButterfly XTā€ could be funā€¦ I found a snoopy butterfly xt on ebay, maybe I can use the caps on that. Lol
Trouble is, my local stores only carry imperialsā€¦ and even those are rare to find. :confused:

Edit: looks like someone bought the snoopy butterfly. :smiling_face_with_tear:

Id say go for it, i reccomend fh1 instead of fhz since they are easy to come by. I have a bunch i need to work onā€¦ i have a new masking technique to try out, just stalling because its still gonna be tedious work.

What kind of mods would I do to an fh1? It seems pretty good stockā€¦
