Idk, I’m not opposed to the convention/giant yoyo-club aspect, as much as the actual competition itself. I’m not big into competitions in general. There is too much going on for me [personally] to get into them. Not saying they are irrelevant or unimportant, just not my cup-o-tea ---

fair enough. It’s competitive or fun, not enough room for both. Best flex: win while having fun. That’s why I love Evan’s 2018 win ---

-No matter how much people hate the yoyo you have, if you like it and it’s fun, then you like it and it’s fun. Their opinion shouldn’t sway yours about it. -Any clean bearing is fine -Having fun should come first, not competitiveness (it really shows you know) -Using glove(s) or tape doesn’t make you less of a player -Just do what you want really, buy the things you like, as many as you like etc. It’s a subjective hobby so have fun. ---

Centering bearings are only for beginners … the DV888 is a great throw (i likes the one I messed with) There is still a lot of love for responsive and fixie play. ---

> [@Saber](#): > > Centering bearings are only for beginners Doesn’t Evan Nagao play with a Center Trac bearing? He’s the furthest from a beginner as you can get. Seems to me this opinion isn’t just unpopular, it is demonstrably incorrect. ---

I’m fairly confident everyone that competed at worlds finals used a centering bearing of some kind. Only one that might’ve used a flat is Ethan Cheung and that’s just cuz he’s on OD but I think even he most likely swapped to a centering bearing ---

I’ve seen some people be like ‘‘Just get used to the burn’’ and some new players not wanting to use glove/tape because of reasons (might be because they see people playing bare in pretty much every video, not counting some pros, or they don’t actually want to, idk). I thinks that it’s not just seen as ‘‘cool’’ y’know. I’m fairly new to the scene, so I have a very tiny sample size, so it might not be an unpopular opinion. I really don’t know. So I put it up there just in case just as a reminder. ---

That’s fair, I definitely agree that gloves aren’t the norm. I was honestly wondering if there was a general consensus on glove hate that I didn’t know about :joy: I personally only use gloves if my hands get sweaty, or if I have a cut on my finger I want covered while throwing.
