Can we please stop describing yo-yo’s as “smooth”? Calling a yo-yo “smooth” is describing just about every yo-yo on the market today. What A grade yo-yo is not smooth? Smooth is not a property that is important unless the vibe is such that it interferes with tricks. If all you can come up with when describing a yo-yo is that it is “smooth”, then you are damning this yo-yo with faint praise.
When I hear someone describe a yo-yo as being good because it is “smooth”; I just tune out.
i’m gonna start describing yoyos as round. yup, it’s a round yoyo alright…

Welcome back, Spence!
How about “dead smooth”?
Would you rather we say “Viben’t”?
What I am saying is that smooth is not an important property. If someone believes this is an important property then I think they need to play more yo-yo’s.
It’s an important quality to some people (and one I can appreciate), but it takes a LOT of vibe to affect play. My 1st run Hybrid Fulvia has some serious pulse vibe, and it’s still in my top 2 favorites and performs like a beast.
this should only be mentioned when manufacturer describes their yoyo as smooth, then reviewer could say if it’s smooth or nah
All ultra-smooth throws will now be known as “Smooth Criminals”
…which gives me an idea for a new tee…
Mir Kim’s eyeing you rn👀
I only require three things in a yoyo. It has to be smooth, so please keep saying it. I also need to know that the yoyo has soul, and a mostly pleasant personality.
What A-grade yo-yo is not smooth?
Most wood, glass or hybrids have inevitable vibe and are still a grades. A wood unresponsive is going to not be smooth.
Aren’t A-RT whole schtick something about making bad yo-yos or whatever?
Most yyf yo-yos aren’t dead smooth. Most low cost plastic. Many many knock offs.
Lots of stuff is marked “a grade” or as intended yet aren’t dead smooth
Who describes a wood, glass or plastic yo-yo as smooth? Smooth is meaningless in modern A-grade yo-yo’s. All non-Onedrop made metal yo-yo’s come from like three factories in China that all have top-grade machines that create yo-yo’s as smooth as anything General-Yo or Japan ever did.
Besides, who can feel anything but a completely-broken, vibey yo-yo on the string? It is a nonsensical property that has no bearing (sorry no pun intended) on yo-yo play. Tell me how the yo-yo plays; not the perceived precision of the machine shop it came from. That is not important to anyone but a noob.
Boost Sqaured and Tofu have entered the chat.
But yet, one of the first questions you always get is…“is it smooth?” 
Can we please stop using apostrophes for plurals?
