That yoyo really “threw” me when I first got it. I felt like I was throwing the wood version of a Replay! 🤣 ---

Yeah. It’s definitely large and in charge! I still prefer the 19’ smaller version, but the maple is nice too! I’m gonna put in maple axle and caps today! ---

I’ve notice 0A has some kendama influence with some of the back of the hand balance moves. I’ve also notice in the current word of kendama a lot of 1A string trick influence and how 8 finger string lengths have made sting tricks en’vogue; such as Ninja Vanish and GT Ken stalls. Bringing it back full circle here is a trick concept influenced by Tama pulls I like to call Dead Whips. Basically, whipping a dead yo-yo into a mount and doing a Re-Engineer. This is also a good technique to tighten up those laceration whips and adding some flair to the classic [Engineer Windups](https://youtu.be/KnQ5PFQSLE0?t=14). These were all done on a @DocPop branded YYF Legend Wing and YYE Type-10 cotton. Dead Whip Hidemasa hook, Ninja Vanish and a Wrist Whip GT.

That’s probably what I would try, but let’s see other suggestions! Thin CA will wick down into cracks, and you could quickly wipe off the excess. Sorry man! One of the high friction hazards! ---

I haven’t seen a solid wood yoyo crack before. I wonder if a hairline crack was already present in it when you got it and the hit it took was the final straw. ---
