Ok guys just a topic starter…what do you like better? Someone with a lot of speed, or someone who is a little slower but has amazing flow to their tricks? I’m personally with flow. To me it just looks better. ---

For pure enjoyment, flow. Speed if done clean, does get a wow out of me. ---

Flow, for sure. It shows me more control I like Mickey’s style, but honestly, all that speed stuff kinda wears me down fast. I do like it to be mixed up a bit, but more flow than speed. ---

Flow is more fun to watch but in the hands of the right yoyoer, speed really impresses me. Speed comes with tons of practice and after flow, though. ---

Easy, flow is way better, as probably most of you will agree. It’s relaxing, and you can actually see what they’re doing. ---

Jensen’s flow is like… art. It’s just like so beautiful and amazing haha. Hiroyuki’s is impressive but can get old because it get’s tiring after a bit as it all looks pretty much the same. ---

Usually flow. I really like Guy Wright’s slow, smooth style. It just impresses me. But then there’s the other side of me that enjoys speed. But I think to achieve great speed you have to master flow so your freestyles are not super choppy. ---

Flow = lack of speed. This thread = Slow players; rationalizing their inability to play fast. “Yeah, I can’t do half the tricks some guys can do in 3 minutes - but hey it FLOWS man…” Yeah right. If these “flow” players could play fast; they would in order to win contests. They don’t; therefore, they can’t. QED. [Next page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/speed-and-flow/41662.md?page=2)
