Ryn: landing on the dimple is hard, but you can do hop-up fingerspins outside that part quite nicely. I agree about the blast, too. I sold mine along and replaced it with the 65g version (which is also sweet) and the “light blast” on the 65g isn’t as good as the standard Gen-Yo blast. Not disappointed or anything, just stating facts.
Back to the dimple, though-- you can do pull-start matador with that dimple even though hop-up fingerspin is tricky.
Or, you can hop up to normal fingerspin (outside the dimple area) and then a wee second hop to get into the dimple.
Some people much better than me can hop up to the dimple, but for me it’s just too inconsistent to bother. But I do the matador all the time when I’m hucking the Prestige.
Matador style is definitely something that I wish I could do better. I will for sure try some stuff on this yoyo, thanks for the suggestion!
Even though this is an older yoyo I just wanted to get this out there that finger spin tricks on this yoyo are quite difficult, if you are using the nub. Other than get long fingerspins, there aren’t a whole lot of options.
A while ago I posted about starting to yo-yo in a chat for a totally unrelated forum. One of the other guys mentioned he used to throw, and did I want his old yo-yo? I said sure, if he was certain he wanted to give it away. Then life got busy and I forgot about it.
Yesterday, a Lyn Fury (blue/black) in very nice shape showed up in my mailbox.
Just got my 100 count- 100% polyester strings, and some V4M bearing lube. Next I can’t decide if I should get the C3Design Speedaholic. Or go for the YYF Replay Pro.
