That is definitely one that gets me sometimes. Especially if it’s an extreme shape or something totally new and out of the box design wise. ---

Stupid axel knots from screwing up laceration binds. Then pulling it out the wrong side and still having a knot in the string. Extra points for a new string and getting the knot so tight the only remedy is a new string! ---

I don’t blame companies for doing this, because it smart marketing, but I always find new and "improved” versions of older yoyos slightly annoying. When they are released it makes me wonder if my older version is not up to par now. Now, I know it may be that I end up preferring the older version, but I just prefer all new models that I can evaluate independently. ---

I had the opposite problem lol, I had been trimming my strings to the old “tie the loop at your belly button” method. I was really struggling with the first step of Rancid Milk, just couldn’t get it to land without hitting my hands. I ended up trying a really long string a few days later (I don’t exactly remember why…) and it just clicked! There is for sure a happy medium to everyone’s “perfect” length, and I think I found mine at 3 fingers above the belly button, or somewhere between my sternum and Betty button.
