Sure, yo-yos can be frustrating, but what if you want to really torture yourself?
I will get this figured out, eventually…

This blasted blue turned out great. Might be the prettiest blue in the collection.

I have a Decoy again! I doubt I’ll trade this one for awhile.

I very much agree with this general sentiment (but also very much like the shape of the Terrarian).

I’d love to get into 4 ball juggling. Have done basic 3 ball since I was a kid. Watching a number of people on instagram makes me want to learn some new patterns. My mind can’t process 4 objects, I’ve tried :joy:

Some awesome trades and buys from $$ from BST sales :smiling_face:.

Shoutout to @KesmEyeball for the Knight & Gale, @Nocompromise for the Pariah, @fradiger for the Space Cadet, and @Sneezy for the Endgame! Kodiak is a Fool’s Gold from CLYW directly.

Would love to hear your thoughts on both the 2Sick yo-yos you got. They weren’t really on my radar until I found out my old teammate was on their team. They have a new mono coming out soon that looks interesting and it’s a very similar profile to the knight and gale.

Honestly though apart from the new mono, most of their catalog doesn’t appeal to me. I’d say only the Knight and Gale, the Blockade and Endgame look interesting to me, but the Blockade looks a lot like a more expensive Grasshopper GTX and the Endgame gives me Bliss vibes. The Bliss just felt like a brick to me so I’m hesitant about similar looking stuff. That and I’m wary of trying more expensive stuff i might not like.

A rosin puck, that stuff works great. No slipping at all and it will last a very long time.

I’ll have to get back to you on the Knight & Gale. It’s a really nice H/V (edit: eh more H than V) that doesn’t seem too extreme on the H side and doesn’t feel overly rim weighted. It feels great on the string and in the hand but I wonder if some people might say it feels heavy for a bimetal. Forgot to mention that it’s technically a proto but I believe it’s identical to the production run.

Edit: I’ve been playing a lot of bimetals lately; I wonder if the K&G would feel more rim weighted to me if I had been playing more monometals. But it definitely doesn’t feel as rim weighted as the Endgame IMO.

Haven’t played the Endgame too much but plays very H. It’s pretty rim weighted proportional to the body and very stable but doesn’t feel like a brick IMO. I wonder if some might find it stiff; I don’t but I’m a really casual player and not really pushing it all that much. It also feels amazing on the catch. H shapes are very hit or miss for me but I’m really liking this one.

I have a Blockade and it does feel very similar to the Grasshopper GTX. It feels a touch more rim weighted and slightly narrower with a finger spin bowl but overall very similar. I think I’d pick the Grasshopper GTX over it though.

Edit: forgot to add pics! OG Shutter for scale

Dude nonja you always come through when it comes to comparisons. You’re the man.

And I’m definitely picking up a Grasshopper GTX at some point.In my limited time trying it it didn’t have the overly heavy feeling that I’ve experienced with a lot of bimetals. Sometimes you just throw a yo-yo and instantly love it, that definitely happened for me with the Grasshopper.

Haha thanks! Honestly I’d take my descriptions with a grain of salt; I’m really just a casual player who likes collecting. But I’m glad you find them helpful!
