I have never played the chopsticks gorilla, but I think that the Draupnir is definitely one of the very best out there.

I’m not saying I think it should have a patriotic theme just because it’s made in usa. But if it says made in usa in big letters on the face, then I personally would prefer something different for the name and theme.

We need more “artisanal anodization” available in the yo-yo marketplace

Yoyo reviews where the reviewer has to hunt for and bring to light the slightest bit of vibe. “Looks like I found a miniscule bit of vibe on my fingernail here…” Whatever.

I don’t call a trick learnt until I can do the whole trick in one smooth motion with no breaks in between.
Kinda annoys me when people said they learnt a trick and post a video, they do the trick very slowly and do it one element at a time (like there are very clear breaks between each element).

Being able to land a trick no matter how jerky or sloppy it is technically does mean learned it. They know how to land the trick and have done it with video proof afterall. What you are talking about is trick mastery imo. I consider myself to have learned Spirit Bomb because I know the dynamics and have landed it before. But can I do it 1 time in 20 attempts? Maybe. On the other hand, I have mastered Kwyjiibo, since I have my own style when doing it, am fluid, and can land it 9 in 10 tries. Ive probably landed it over 1000 times (yes, it’s my favorite trick).

I agree. I know how to drive a car but I wouldn’t be good in a car chase…

I get your point but for me personally, I think of tricks more practically. Like if I can incorporate the trick into a combo or do it to the requirements of a trick ladder contest. To do so would require me to be able to do the trick smoothly in one motion. Also, in tutorials it is usually shown how the trick is supposed to look like, so when I learn the trick, I want to make sure my trick looks the same or at least similar to the one in the tutorial yeah. It’s only then will I consider I have successfully learnt a trick. If it’s jerky I just don’t think the trick is going to look the way it’s supposed to look and how the trick looks kinda defines the trick in my opinion. I think we have different standards and definitions for what “learnt” means here and it’s cool haha. Agree to disagree yeah

The skill of being able to yoyo with your non dominant hand is lacking for most of the yoyo world, but opens up a whole new world for trick discovery that most aren’t willing to put the time and effort Into learning.

I agree! Its weird learning how to get a strong, smooth throw and bind but youre already using both hands for tricks anyway. Trying to do the mirror image of a trick already burned into your brain makes you take a step back and really think about how some tricks are structured.

I think yoyo companies should put the origin of manufacturing in the description.

Exactly, if companies told us it would be easier to find the 2%.
