What is the worst yoyo you own?

I’m happy I swallowed the coffee in mg mouth before I scrolled to this post. Very well played!

I stand by what I’ve said before - I’ve played yoyos that didn’t agree with my play style, but, that didn’t make them bad, just not my preference. I’m sure there are yoyos that I fully enjoy that others don’t find enjoyable. Truly variety is the spice of life.

I love that we have so much variety out there. I also enjoy people sharing opinions even if they arnt always positive. This is fun.

As long as feelings are not getting hurt of course. :grinning:

Usually at the end of a tense discussion on the forum there’s one of your friendly comments that has the power to vaporise any left over negative sentiment, that relaxes the shoulders and brings a smile to one’s face.

It’s the FrankieFactor!

It taught me that some people take life far too seriously.

This thing right here. Looks kind of like a Dif-e-yo, but plays like utter garbage. Crazy heavy like a brick, unscrews after throwing it more than one or two times, inconsistent response due to a poorly implemented starburst response, etc. Being a cheap knockoff I hardly consider it part of my collection, but I still got it. After shaving off a bit of the response I have it set up as a responsive yoyo, but the thing has so much vibe and is really heavy. I think it takes a more experienced yoyoer to experience anything better than frustration with it, but I can enjoy it if im just doing basic tricks (after a bit of tuning).

Otherwise, the worst “real” yoyo I have is the Duncan Pro-Z. It just doesn’t do anything good enough compared with other yoyos.

Nothing wrong with it, but doesn’t suit me. The no Jive. Since I have no interest in modding it, have little interest in playing with it. A responsive Replay is more fun out of the box.

I have these like 3 year old fixed axle glow yoyos which suk.
They’re from the carnivals kind of thing and the only thing you can do with it is make it go up and down pretty much. Recently, I found out that if I punch them down super hard, they actually will sleep for like 7 seconds, so I can squeeze in a quick rock the baby before it dies.

This is true. With the good come the bad. Yyf at least try’s to keep a variety out there which I respect . I don’t think anyone means any ill intent towards the company in this thread .

negativity without context just bums me out. People come here for information and I don’t think this thread is serving them much value.

Same here with the Arcade. I actually got it expecting it to be a just OKAY fun cheap yoyo, but it actually surprised me, I enjoyed it so much I threw it all week when I got it :smiley:

I got The Arcade this summer and I really like it. It does require more from me than some of my favorite yoyos and that’s okay.

I just picked up one of these for six bucks and the string jams all the time. What string are you using to make it a usable yo-yo? Thanks!

Worst? Duncan butterfly or my yomegas are the runner ups. The daydream is the absolute worst.

The worst yoyo I have owned I bought for $6 on eBay. It was made of tin and had plastic guts. From the puctures on eBay it looked like a regular anodised AL yoyo.

I didn’t even throw it. As soon as I saw its construction I tossed it into my waste paper basket.

All of them are junk. None of them can do any decent tricks… :upside_down_face:
