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.

Mr hades Doesn’t think plastic performs isn’t a surprising take to be honest…

Lol, yeah. I wish more people gave comparisons or clarification. I gave a review when I first got my Shooting Star and pointed out that there are yoyos that perform way better, you just gotta shell out more cash for ‘em

I mean for new or intermediate players a plastic like the shooting star or AOE or even k2 crystal are more than good enough at the price

Biggest yoyo pet peeve is probably that I never had the chance to meet Hulk Hogan.

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!

Managing string torsion, a knot when out and not having a pick.
Not being able to take all my yo-yos everywhere all the time

Last Night Gus and the Kung Fu one are the best. You cannot change my mind
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 am so frustrated on how long it took ME to understand that a longer string was not helping me progress, no matter how many layers or the complexity of a trick.
What I leaned
More string means more stuff to worry about

I found that out literally last night haha. But it’s weird cuz at the same time there’s tricks that I just can’t do without long string

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.
