Yoyos have opinions? I had no idea.
You don’t enjoy playing a yoyo just because it is a good yoyo.
care to expound on this?
I worded that poorly, but the premise is that you can have fun on any yoyo. Rim weighted, center weighted, big gap small gap flowable response .555 response bimetals monometals plastic, whatever it is is still a yoyo.
Agreed. I tend to use 3-4 a lot but each or every other day I will play a bunch of others even if for just a few minutes each because I like different feels.
Black is the best yoyo color.
Yellow is the best string color.
And in addition to
ANY bearing with a flat portion sucks (LOOKIN’ AT YOU, CENTER TRAC!)
Yes
On par with neon green, white, and lemon/lime. All visible and clean looking. Especially with black yoyos
NO U
Bulk string is simply worse than nicer string, but it forces good technique and generally looks nicer.
Raw/clear yoyos consistently look better than any anodized ones, very few exceptions.
Ehhhh this Acryllion is kinda the counter-argument to that. I love the way it looks, but the way it plays is is
Would also say the same about DV888.
And for that matter the 137g titanium fixed axle I obtained.
To be fair, the Acryllion is an older yo-yo and this feat is hard to achieve for something you’d buy today, but it is possible.
That just sounds frightening.
The guy’s got a family so he probably got that yoyo to ward off an intruder.
Yoyofactory makes some of the best playing yoyos you can buy. Even their cheaper models can be used any at any level and holds up to the best. People just don’t recommend them as much because their yoyos are not as hyped and don’t have that “rare” factor to them.
Binds are pretty uninteresting and not cool compared to other kinds of tricks
Hmmm unpopular opinions:
- I have more fun yoyoing than you do.
- How good you are doesn’t matter, just how much you smile.
- People are more likely to be unlikable than yoyos.
- My opinion is always correct regarding yoyos, yours is wrong, unless you agree with me.
- Yoyo every day, unless you don’t feel like it.
- Don’t sweat yoyo stuff.
- Yoyoing is fun, really fun, but other things are more fun.
Amen.
Look who it is! I’m glad to see you here man
“This yoyo doesn’t have much personality.” is Language Fail.
Yoyos don’t have personalities. They are inanimate objects. But in our struggle to describe indescribable properties–in particular, how yoyos make us feel–we resort to nonsense descriptors, just like wine reviewers.
Which leads me to my unpopular opinion of the day:
Yoyo reviews are only useful for pointing out fatal flaws in a yoyo that would not otherwise be evident just from its specs and product photos. That’s because the only way for anyone to truly know what a yoyo feels like in play is to play with it themselves. No review can do that for them.
Reviews are, however, good if you just want to kill a few minutes watching someone else play with a yoyo. It is sort of like hanging out with them. But you’re not.
- Unresponsive play was the worst innovation to ever happen.
poly nylon blend is the best
I never like it when yoyos sacrifice their weight distribution or performance aspects in order to have a finger spin cup.
