ok this thread is getting closer to 1000 pages and maybe the answer is in here somewhere but I’m not reading all of them so I’ll ask - what do people get out of this thread? I kind of get the “excited waiting for my new throw” and “what I got in the mail today” threads, but this one? Why does anyone care what another player is throwing today? Is it just a bragging thing? “Oh, I’m just throwing my YYJ Titan today, NBD”. If not, why do people post in it and why do others read it? I’m genuinely curious.

I don’t check very often but it’s kinda a cool way to see trends in throwing change

You can tell when something new gets released because a lot of people are throwing them or when the popularity of a brand gets more recognition because it’s getting brought up more.

When you go to a contest, one of the first things you do is peek at a player’s hands to see what’s in it… and if you don’t recognize it, to ask, “Hey, whatcha throwing?”

Whether you spot it without vocalizing or not, what you’re curious about is… “What are you throwing today?” Even in person, it doesn’t “matter”. It’s just idle chatter.

Nothing wrong with that!

I’ve PM’d people who have throws that I’m interested in, though. I KNOW that Oops has/had a 2014 Genesis, so I might be tempted to PM him and say, “I see you’ve been hucking your Genesis lately… mind sharing a bit of info on it?”

Still, it’s mostly just a friendly unimportant piece of semi-conversation.

Fair enough - I get at a contest you may ask someone because you’ll see them throwing it and might think it looks cool, or stable or fast or whatever. I could understand in context you asking someone what throw they’re using in a video. I guess I just didn’t see the point of a really long thread with people just listing what they’re throwing today, there didn’t seem to be anything conversational about it. People obviously like the thread since they post in it, I just didn’t (and still don’t) get it but that’s my problem :slight_smile:

Overdrive and Mr. butcher. Toooo goood

My opinion on this thread is this:

This thread actually makes me find out about yoyos I’ve never heard about before, and it makes me want to try them out. It’s interesting to see what the preferences of people are. I really like knowing weird quirks about people, it’s quite fascinating actually.

Also, sometimes it just makes me jealous because I don’t have that much money, I haven’t bought a yoyo in a very long time. I don’t even remember the last time I had a new yoyo. :slight_smile:
