Howdy! Welcome to the forums.
I’ve been running it’s sister- the metal drifter- as a responsive. Super fun organic, sometimes a little too snappy on the return. Always a good time.

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.
homemade axle on the right. I’m not sure what type of wood I used, it looks like walnut, but feels too soft to be that. Next I’m going to try oak and purpleheart

Nice!
Looks like you put some serious time on that original axle!
It looks pretty good!

Proyo/profly axles are finished. Do to losing power I had wait until today to finish the walnut and purple heart ones. From left to right, stock axles, mystery wood, walnut, and purple heart.
Installed the purple heart axle in my proyo and its playing better than ever.

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