What is a yoyo that is generally praised that just doesn’t check the boxes for you? Mine personally would be my standard release g2 banshee. While I can objectively look at it and say it is gorgeous, it’s smooth, and plays very well for some reason it just wasn’t the bees knees for me. Maybe this was a case of overhype because I for sure was expecting something to blow my mind after reading all reviews on the banshee. However once I got it probably stood zero chance to deliver to the standards I had put it at. Now when transitioned to titanium whole perspective shift and I love it. I mean this post was no disrespect to Jake or anyone who loves the banshee, was more just something I was thinking about when looking over my collection. ---

I really want to love my Duncan Counterpunch but it’s annoyingly snaggy. Different kinds of strings and changing pads makes no difference. I have never had another yoyo that was so snaggy. It’s probably ME but I do not have the problem with anything else. Also, my brand new YYF MVP. After no more than 1 hr of throwing since Friday, this morning it flew off the string and landed across the room. The string was chewed right through. It was a Markmont string - from the same batch I’ve had on my Top Deck for over a month. I doubt I got a dud string. ---

I didn’t get the a-rt/O.S.T. 69 or the a-rt Triptych. I found the 69 to be boring, and the Trip was too light and fast for my tastes. I even got a second 69 after trading my first, just to make sure. ---

Counter Punch has a rather narrow gap at 4.2mm, and Duncan’s red pads (whatever they’re called) protrude a bit and are super grippy. Try flowing your own silicone or using something a bit thinner like OD’s 19mm pads. Sounds like your MVP has a rough spot that’s cutting the string. There’s a bunch of threads and comments about that—it happens sometimes, it doesn’t take much. It’s easily fixable. Take it apart, and rub the response area on your jeans a bit. I had a yo-yo that cut string, and after cutting through 1 and a half strings, that was enough wear to smooth it out so it never was a problem again. ---
