It’s “possible” but the weight is waaaay to much for a proper counterweight. It’s almost a one to one ratio yoyo to counterweight, so any tricks where the counterweight pulls on the yoyo it will pull too much. Likewise any trick where the yoyo pulls the counterweight won’t have enough power to move that beast of a counterweight.
Butterfly is possible though but very awkward.
That all being said, great work on the counterweight Kevin. It looks sweet.
Yeah this tiny wooden JoJo is the perfect weight for my Harbinger, Ballsy, Skinflint, and Irving. Little too heavy for legends and the Fallen 44 Jason. I R E A L L Y like that I can Slipknot it onto the string. Not enough counterweights allow for that quick change IMO.
Been wanting to try out some different strings lately. Markmont Amy on the string thing, some fresh Zipline Cranberry Crush Slushy, and a surprise Zipline Tainted Love on my protostar. The Amy feels like a good quality string, but it doesn’t seem to have quite the feel that I prefer. I’m used to softer string, and the tainted love seems to fit in a lot better with the way that I play. I’m saving the Slushy for a throw that should be arriving later this week, and if I like it as much as I like the tainted love, I might have to switch to Zipline as my main string company!
Airetics! I bet you will too!!
