Talk of good YoYos for 1A got me to put in some Spirit Bomb reps today. After two in a row I tried to get one on video. Still in a state of shock! The TMBR LoveJoy is amazing for these!

@Myk_Myk deleted his comment cuz he is a nice guy, but he is right. What I’m doing isn’t Spirit Bomb!!! Apparently I’ve been missing the double on part, but combined the hop and arm cross part into a slightly more difficult simultaneous pop and cross motion. Back to the drawing board I guess. On the bright side, it seems I inadvertently invented a new trick. I’m gonna called it Bombed Spirit…😔 Here it is in slow motion.

Since I’m not able to throw as much today do to a bad elbow, I decided to spend some time making axles for my Proyo and Profly. Here’s my first attempt. ![20210228_150540](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/b/9/4/b94d2aaa7ea9662a1b3ad5735ed7595a60ae02bb.jpeg) homemade axle on the right.

I never liked purpleheart for axles. I just don’t get the response reliability I’m after with it. Tasmanian oak remains response boss.💪 ---

I’m curious to see how the response changes with use. Fresh off the lathe it’s working great, but I can understand how it may become too slippery over time.
