They have nothing to do with side effects whatsoever. Matador is using spikes on a yoyo in a way similar to hub stacks ---

Or sharpened spikes. They just don’t work I disagree. When the 54 came out, the spikes worked excellently. Unless One Drop manufactures them differently now? ---

Side effect spikes matador perfectly. They’re rather sharp. The Code 1 side effects cannot matador at all. Here’s what I want to know, though: what the heck is the technique for hopping up and catching in matador? I can grab the string near the yoyo and then matador with a bit of care… but I can’t for the life of me hop it up and catch it. ---
