What are some unpopular/controversial yoyo opinions you guys have? I got a few off the top of my head: 1. Speed play is enjoyable to watch 2. Flat bearings suck 3. Wood is not good I’m curious to hear yours @codinghorror :joy: ---

Well clearly THAT can’t be the case 🤣 Ironically I have come around a bit on wood, after getting a REALLY nice Clean Machine from @vegabomb, and then I got on the @edhaponik hype train with the Eh, and it’s also excellent. Wood _CAN_ be nice! but not as nice as metal ---

Yeah I’m amazed at the great fixed axle players and it’s definitely it’s own style but… I personally have no interest in really getting into wooden yoyos and fixed axle play when modern 1a is a thing. And if I want to work on smoothing our my play I’ll do responsive 1a but no need for wood in particular. ---

Competitions, especially worlds, are lame. There’s too much going on, too much ‘flexing’ and point whoring to be enjoyable. But then again, I’m not a fan of competitive sports in general How’s that @codinghorror? Is that interesting enough? ---

My main unpopular opinion is the “all bearings should be thin lubed” one. I would die on that hill. But then again, I haven’t met many hills I _wouldn’t_ die on. (Over time I have gained some sympathy for the “lubing is too complicated and risky” argument though, because if you over-lube, you’re gonna have a bad time, and doing nothing is simpler than doing… something.) I even lube my wood yo-yos! ---
