So true that most designs just look like a knockoff of an already successful model. But I don’t have a problem with it frankly, let everyone make a knockoff Original Freehand and put their logo, response system, bearing, etc. on it.

Tape measure is a better dismount than flyaway

Haha yeah I saw that this morning! Awesome vid. If you’re doing that, I get it. But I wouldn’t be and most people aren’t. So I’d just be intentionally damaging a super valuable piece.
I’ll leave the sparking to you videographers who can make it look hella cool lol.

I have to disagree mainly on this. I would just call that competition.
There’s a name for a ‘‘unique idea’’ based business that goes down; an unsuccessful business. A unique product and a successful product don’t always go hand in hand.

A lot of people approach yoyo design or yoyo purchasing with a particular spec sheet in mind, but tbh honestly imho the only way to know if you like a yoyo is to spend time with it and stuff.

I kind of see where you’re coming from, and you’re kind of right. But some people just know what they like.
I will admit, that I have been thoroughly surprised by designs that I initially had very little if any interest in. The Kuntosh being one of them. I did not think I was going to like it at all based on specs alone, but it’s turned out to be one of my favorites.
There are certain design specs that I for certain know that I don’t like though. That mainly has to do with shape though.

CLYW makes several throws that are sluggish and not particularly stable.

I don’t like snow tires, thus I don’t like any CLYW

I don’t like the snow tire pad response system, but I do like pouring flowable in them a lot so I can recess it

Watching freestyles at home after a contest doesn’t do it for me. Freestyles are far more entertaining in person.

Huh can you elaborate on this? Do you mean versus standard slim silicone stickers presumably?

Yep. Even silicone flush with the lip produces great results compared to snow tires. The Wildfire is the first yoyo with snow tires that I haven’t minded the response.

Best response right here. If I ever designed a yoyo that’s what it would be. Snow tire size but siliconed

Yes. Just too wide, really snaggy when they’re new…not gonna compromise on slimmer string either!!
Flowable is tight but I’d rather just buy stickers to save myself the time of pouring/drying the silicone

Anyone ever gotten a cheap plastic yoyo for the purpose of demolishing it through cruel and unusual 4a?
