I’ve been having this same thought while trying to weed through newer stuff and companies that didn’t exist last time I was around.
I’ve had to decide just to focus on companies that I know have consistently delivered quality stuff over a long period of time otherwise I’d be overwhelmed by the amount of choices I have. That and refusing to consider products that cannot possibly be as much better than other yo-yos as their price is higher. I don’t care if your costs are higher because you make smaller runs or whatever, I’m going with the product that can justify its price.
Don’t get me wrong the average yoyo today is cheaper, smoother, and better than almost any yoyo on the market 6-7 years ago.
What would’ve costed $90 7 years ago now costs $45. There’s a reason your beloved genesis is $45 now and still gets little to no attention. It’s not because the quality went down with the price, if anything the quality even went up.
And many yoyos costing $90 now are better than ANYTHING that was out back then.
When I said average or redundant I meant in today’s market. But they are still miles better than most yoyos on the market back then
You’re going to like the new CoreCo yoyo if you like regens
If you’re expecting a really bad yoyo, you’re going to be disappointed. YYF has them for $10 right now during their B Grade Sale, I think YYE may have gotten them as well.
You bet! Nice to see you’re still around as well, along with the other community members that are still active. I went to NER recently and it was awesome seeing Andre, Eric Koloski, and Daniel Dietz again, as they were part of my (relatively) local scene when I was more involved.
I saw that you have your own yo-yo model now too, congrats! Are you still working on Moebius stuff?
I like dominoes pizza best
I don’t see anything wrong with unskilled yoyoers also giving reviews, after all a review is just one persons opinoin.
I don’t see anything wrong with the little guy making yoyo’s in there shed and selling them if there good.
All joking aside…I agree.
Try a brooklyn style crust, extra sauce, double cheese and double pepperoni! Or regular cheese, double pepperoni and cheddar cheese.
That or a brooklyn style crust, extra alfredo sauce, double chicken and philly steak.
Can get these for $8 with carryout!
I just made myself hungry! grrr it’s too early for dinner! lol
Just Double Pepperoni is good for me.
Oh, and i also like cake which is not an unpopular opinion, but i thought i’d just throw it in the mix. It may count as a double negative though.
Okay I’m new to this thread and I’m not going to read what’s been posted so far. I’m sure someone has beaten me to it but splashes and half-swaps are lame.
I’m more picky about the colors used than the ano type. I don’t normally like yo-yos where there’s too much going on outside of the “galaxy” like color combination. I don’t think a large majority of color combos look nice though so if it’s a choice between one of those and a solid color I’m going with the solid.
My pink purple fade Kayak is the most gorgeous yo-yo I’ve ever owned though that’s for sure.
