I did! This is with 600 grit and Mothers polish.
Challenge accepted!
Yikes!
I have been throwing this cedar bloodcell this week. Its light and has great response, a little tricky to pull start but I think I got it down.
I also have a Wildwood Crop Circle arriving today! Got a weekender 2 weeks ago. I’ve really been enjoying responsive play and pull starts lately.
It’s probably a bit obvious from looking at it, but if you have enough fingernail length to not get any normal finger contact on the yoyo it pull starts insanely well. I’d had a couple of wood yoyos intended to pull start, and that BC was the only one that I felt like had a snappy enough response combined deep enough groove to get secure and strong pull starts on.
The Wildwood Crop Circle seems really good though, but I just haven’t had any interest in playing responsive any more
Yes i know what you’re saying! While my finger nails are a bit short, I can lightly hold it and get enough spin to respond and hop into a stall or regen. Practicing on the blood cell helped me improve my pull starts on the knack too. Thanks much for the bloodcell!
I love the art on all of these!
Wow, that’s a crisp picture! Does your phone have a macro lens or is that a “real” camera?
Its just the normal lens on an iphone 11. A couple things i try to do to help produce a descent pic is to:
- use a white background (i.e. printer paper), and rest it against something (xbox controller) so it curves upward
- pull my lamp close to get good lighting
- dont put the camera too close to the yoyo, zoom in a little (i think this can help a lot)
you can say you throw it… perpetually
