I feel pretty strongly that solid colors are the only finishes that do (and will) stand the test of time. Splashes and fades are like 80’s fashion; fascination with it may come and go periodically, but it will not endure. ---

Well, I’m talking about my personal opinion. I just see more attractive splashes and some fades than solid colors. It just has to do with personal opinions ---

I agree, I wish more people would. I do at work every day. I work in a factory and we only get 20 min lunch though so it’s only about 5 minutes. People do seem to enjoy watching me. Aside from the negative Nancy’s that like to talk smack. ---

Not sure how unpopular this will be but I disagree with the sentiment that you can just pick up any yo-yo you like for 1A and have a solid 5A yo-yo that works well for you. Will it be capable of 5A? Yes, but it won’t necessarily be comfortable for you or inspire confidence in your abilities. And some stuff just isn’t as good imo, like yo-yos that overly highwalled, lack stability or are too light feeling. ---

While we’re on x division Playing 3a with a yoyo better shows weaknesses of that yoyo for 1a, particularly in stability. If you really wanna compare the stability of 2 yoyos, play 3a. Same with the bearing. You truly feel the shortcomings of a flat bearing when you’re trying to keep 2 yoyos on the same axis without tilting or turning at the same time. ---

It might show weaknesses better but if that weakness comes along with a positive attribute like agility and speed you won’t notice that with 3A, you’ll only see the weakness. ---

Yeah but I wouldn’t use \<64g yoyos for 3a in the first place Also I’ve found it’s easier to have the illusion of a yoyo being lighter/heavier or slower/faster than it really is in 1a than 3a. For the most part, the yoyo feels and plays like the weight in 3a. Floatiness is still a thing though which may make a yoyo feel a little faster during 3a play I guess cuz it feels more empty on the string.
