@French has this exactly right here! I’m gonna start videoing my boxing experience too on expensive sales. I’ve only had one person buy a yo-yo and claim it wasn’t received. I ended up just sending them multiple free yo-yos and extras just cuz. ---

I’m a fixed axle guy, and honestly, I don’t think I like flip or varial tricks. I feel it breaks the flow of fixed axle play. I actually feel bad about this.😞 ---

I struggle hard with consistent flip & varial tricks. I enjoy the chase of these, but, can see your perspective. For me, stalls and regens have flow, flips don’t. However, that is more of a French issue as I see many who are just smooth and flowy with these tricks ---

Oh i totally see where you’re coming from. Flips and varials feel like very isolated tricks. Not that you can’t incorporate them in combos, but it’s harder to do in a cohesive way. ---

> [@Damb](#): > > I think this community normalizes unhealthy yo-yo spending habits Too right! Some people have the money to afford it so good for them but some don’t and then get into real difficulty because they HAVE to have the latest release because of whatever reason and it is really unhealthy. There really seems to be a lack of encouraging people to be happy with what they have. ---

Yeah I’m not in a spot where my spending is putting me in a bad place but I’m starting to try and curb it a little. Mostly by accepting that more expensive yo-yos are not better in any way. Like even bimetals only have a marginal advantage over monometals. I also went a little overboard after starting yoyoing again. Lots of new stuff to try. Going forward outside of the bimetal shutter I don’t plan on buying much if anything over ~75$. I wonder what would happen if people started ignoring yo-yo releases that were priced disproportionately to the rest of the market. I know A-RT wouldn’t survive that’s for sure lol. Neither would YYR, Turning Point or Something. ---

More than half of my yoyo purchases have been made because it is the only way I have to try out a yoyo I’m curious about. More often than not it has nothing to do with _having_ the hottest new yoyos, but merely _trying out_ the hottest new yoyos. Believe me, if there was another way, I’d do it, but there isn’t. ---

Sounds like a business opportunity…_ **RENT-A-YO** _ Wanna try a yoyo out? Rent it for a week and send it back! You break it? Ding it? You buy it! \*Best to throw over a carpet…the same way you try new shoes on a clean surface so you can return if it doesn’t work out ---

Width and diameter has more to do with how comfortable a yoyo feels in your hand than shape. Organic does not equal comfort. Good and bad bearings trick you in to thinking a yoyo is better or worse than it actually is. ---
