I’m a big fan of grinds, they’re a great element to blow people’s minds who aren’t familiar with modern yo-yo tricks. I generally hold off on showing them until I get the obligatory “can you walk the dog?” request. I reply that I can walk the dog… **on my finger!** Always blows their minds, and it generally satisfies the walk the dog request. A quick grind can also take the vibe off a less than stellar throw too. ---

90s yoyo boomer rant incoming Unresponsive just really isn’t that interesting tbh. It’s “easy mode” and makes you a lazy thrower. Try that trick again on a responsive and see how far it gets ya. Oh messed up did ya? Yeah maybe learn a little precision and control instead of throwing around all willy nilly and such. End rant :wink: ---

I thinks it BS people are trying to sell used yoyos for the price they want. I’ve seen people try and sell used magic yoyos for full price. yoyos with scuffs for 5-10$ off full price. ok rare yoyo or old or special. fine. but come on… also speed combos are not fun to watch, yea its impressive but I like style so much more. ---

You need to define what it means to be able to yoyo, lol. I have been on and off (mostly off lately unfortunately) trying my hands at 2A yoyoing, and to practice would just do forward passes with 2 well matched wooden fixies. As it turns out, it wasn’t long before I could do trapeze (and his brother) stalls left handed, and even landed a kickflip once. It was amazing to see how muscle memory CAN be transferred between one side to the other, but it takes a bit of practice to realize it. Every yoyoer should definitely mess with this stuff at one time or another. I haven’t practiced enough left handed unresponsive to get anything other than awkward binds, but I can do purely basic “tricks”. I think most yoyoers just want to get better one handed than to try and test their skill with their non-dominant hand. But 2A, that stuff is just so cool that yoyoers should want to learn it. But, ill be damned if im not just humbled every time I practice and make no progress at all. Looping continuously looks easy but is just so damn hard. I can’t do more than 2 loops of any sort with my dominant hand before the yoyo tilts out. But I can do around the world with one hand, and a forward pass with the other. That’s cool, right? 😅 ---

I see these different styles and whatnot. Some hard, some easy, some cool, some uncool. But what I don’t see is enough yoyoers yoyoing while eating green eggs and ham, or yoyoing while walking 5 miles uphill in the snow. Some might say this is an unpopular view, but I’ll ask them… hey, have you ever tried it? ---

In my opinion and in my experience, small packs just means the maker makes them in smaller quanities. Small packs don’t automatically make them more enjoyable or of higher quality. It’s all subjective though. Some companies have to make their string available in bulk because of the demand by amateurs as well as pros. It’s just personal preference. There’s bulk as well as boutique that I do not like at all. ---

I am sure it works both ways. I’ve had new boutique string break on me but never had a new Kitty or MFD bust on me and send a yoyo across the room. If Kitty only sold in packs of 5 people would call it boutique. It’s just personal preference. Small packs don’t guarantee a single thing. ---

> [@hobby\_master](#): > > speed combos are not fun to watch I hear you. However, maybe it’s just me but I find it much more fun to yoyo than to watch others yoyo. So I am not terribly concerned about how much fun things like speed combos are to watch; I mostly really only care about how fun they are to execute.
