So I use some pretty thin string. I use the Duncan generic string on it; it is so thin I sometimes double wrap.
I have also put Badwolfco’s slimms in there as well and I think they work wonders, but they come long and I hate cutting string (long string gang), so I don’t use them often. If I do put them on, they are pre-used on a higher-end yoyo
If you haven’t already, you may want to clean the bearing and change the pads. The Metal Racer uses Duncan SG pads, but I have found that YYF Whites also work well (I put blue pads in once and almost broke my face).
Just out of curiosity, why would you not cut the string? They’re made long so that they work for people of all heights, I don’t want tall people to have string that’s too short and it’s easier to make it long for everyone so you can just cut it to size. I always cut a few inches off mine.
turntable 2. its a fine yoyo. its just that for a bimetal it doesn’t sleep the amount that its supposed to. it literally doesn’t sleep even as long as the Yomega glide that I have.
An old Duncan Butterfly with very short spin time. It is a main reason that I refuse to give cheap yoyo’s to anyone. It discouraged me from learning tricks because it did not spin long enough. Now I try to give decent yoyo’s like First Base. I wonder what it would be like if someone had given me a First Base as a first yoyo.
I dunno, I hate wasting that little bit of string, so I use all parts of the string to the max.
They start their life with about 1-2 inches cut off, then they are used on my most prestigious yoyos/comp yoyos. Then, once they are too worn for high comp practice, I put them on fun yoyos: 5a, 4a, 3a, fun 1a (relaxed style), and 0a. They are then used until they nearly break/break (which I have found takes a whole lot of work, so really nice job on the string), to which I then use them on scouting trips to start fires.
With the Duncan strings, they are really cheap and they come relatively short, so I do not need to cut them, so that is why I don’t.
For me personally, I just do not like cutting string unless I have to because I like those long and sloppy slacks and needing to keep my hand at my chin level. That’s why I do not cut strings .
Duncan Mel-Yo-Dee
It played the old “Duncan theme”. Everyone wants to hear it, but no one wants to hear it for a hour straight. The sound board rattles in there giving plenty of vibe. It also had the sound board in one half and the other was empty so it was unbalanced that way too.
