> [@sparhawk](#): > > Just gonna toss it out there that if you’re trying to get fast. Playing with a heavier yoyo and then switching to a lighter yoyo after can help. It’s the same with shortening your string. That said why not both ;D If I was to personally grab one it would most likely be the Draupnir. Have you considered the slasher? This worked for me… for a while. Immediately after switching to a lighter yo-yo, you’ll definitely go faster but after a few throws with the lighter yo-yo I got used to it and went back to my usual pace. Honestly, I think if you’re trying to play really fast, just get a yo-yo that you like that preferably changes direction easily and just practice really hard. The choice of yo-yo, above a certain level, should only matter to a small extent. With regards to string though, you should definitely shorten it to a comfortable legnth if you want to play as fast as possible. ---

Siriusly, stick with one single light yoyo during the initial stages. When playing at subconscious speeds where the only feedback you have time to process is inertia instead of discrete movements, the instinctive feeling you develop with it, instead of the vague ‘performance’, becomes the only support you can depend on. It takes a substantial amount of practice time before you d be able to apply the same principle to all yoyos. ever considered why the phenom series are popular in some parts of the world ---

I didn’t think so when I saw the pic, but it was a funny angle. However… you could still find a surface to spark the catch zone on. :wink: ---
