Depends on the throw. I like the YYE cotton 10s, the Duncan cotton/nylon blend (if they still make it, mine is vintage) and the hemp string I’m making at present is awesome but short lived
Eventually! I found the best pad for this yoyo haha… I tried using a pad from duncan cold fusion gt and the size was just right, it didn’t arise or sink just perfectly flat👌🏾
“Hit the Silk” - just a simple little repeater. The “challenge” is trying to hit all the parts fluidly and in rhythm. I’ve posted this trick before, but at the time I didn’t think it needed a name(maybe it still doesn’t), but I come back to it again and again because it just “feels” nice. I came up with it during a stressful time. It’s a good trick to get lost in trying to get the “perfect” set, a good “state of yo” trick. Hope you’re having a great Fixed Axle Friday.
I often like to mess around with one-handed play to see what I can do within that limitation. Or maybe it’s just my lazy one-hand-in-a-pocket style. Regardless, here’s one I find myself doing often. Always satisfying to land.
