Unpopular Yoyo Opinions

General Yo-Yo

I actually like the new CLYW I own more, but i feel like that should be the norm. The quality has gotten better compared to when I got their stuff in the past. I owned or played with a majority of their line up prior to 2013 and they were good for the time but don’t hold up to today’s standards. The Kayak I own is so much better than the older stuff ( I still own a couple older ones to directly compare to) it’s mind boggling.

I haven’t tried much of the newer stuff, only a YYF and a Skyyva besides the Kayak, but the Kayak is so much fun and just feels incredible.

I feel like, at this point, I’m the only one who couldn’t careless about the ti-vayder.

Please don’t hate me! :pleading_face:

Not unpopular at all. Although certainly hyped, I really do not care for it. It just doesn’t hit the specs I prefer.

You can rate how good your unpopular opinion is by how few likes you get

I think it’s an awesome design and awesome idea, but I’m in the same boat as you right now because I’m trying to save my yoyo budget for worlds, and I have a titanium throw already and feel like I don’t need another one.

I feel like some yoyos feel like their spec sheet, but quite a few really don’t. From the first throw, my Muse felt really heavy and catchable but looking at the spec sheet, it’s only 65g and 44m wide. I tried at some point to pinpoint the specs I liked, but have since given up and decided to focus more on how comfortable the shape is and how much midweight the yoyo has, as I believe midweight helps with maneuverability and feeling light.

Gosh dang it! lol
Same for me! I kept skipping it as I just wasn’t interested in this yo. I collect pretty much green only throws, am WAY over budget on throws as is, and knew that being a titanium, it was gong to be way more than I’m wanting to spend on a single throw.

So then after posting here in this thread…I decided to open the ti-vayder thread just to see how much it was going to cost out of curiosity.
Damn it all! One thing led to another and now I feel like I HAVE to get my hands on one of these things! haha…I’ve done SO good at avoiding all hype around this throw!
Grrrr!
Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ve gotta go dig up some stuff from some of my other hobbies to go sell on ebay! haha xP

The only reason i skip it is because it’s so damn long. I don’t want to have to read it all to understand what’s going on.

When people sell stuff and list the price as “offer”.
Really grinds my gears. Set a price and say “obo” or something.

To me, it’s hoping they get a higher offer than what they would list it for, which is shady.
Don’t care if there are other reasons, that’s what I default to when I see that garbage.

(It’s right above the first reply, or right “under” the first post, depending on how you look at it.)

Could be they don’t know what the value of the yo-yo is, which does happen… sometimes it’s hard to determine what the price should be.

That’s when eBay comes in handy. Set a low starting price and let the bidding process determine “fair market value”.
