What is your guilty pleasure throw?

@twitch77

I’d love a pic of your Deep State!

Now if I could figure out how to rotate the picture.

I mean I have a dv888 that I won’t get rid of. I don’t like it, I don’t play it, but it forever haunts my collection!

[twitch77 (Green=Love)]

Man, that’s such a great looking half-swap!
The Deep State was almost made for half-swaps!

[RABid (Digital Hillbilly - Grumpy old man.)]

@twitch77

great looking half-swap

And that is a factory half swap. I’ve thought about trying to find a solid to match my splash and make it a half swap.

@codinghorror

sort of accidentally sent me a laser engraved customized DV888

Let’s see a pic!

[codinghorror]

I’ve posted it before, let me search…

Yep got it on this search term: @codinghorror dv888 laser, third hit

Wherein I declare war on the DV888

I dunno, when set up as responsive mine was super weird. I think because the gap is unusually tight? I recall having to use thin lube on the slim bearing, unlike every other metal responsive pretty much ever… I just got mine out (long story, but Seth Godin sent me a customized DV888 with a laser engraved logo of my avatar, which is kind of ironic considering this is about the only yo-yo you can buy from a major manufacturer which isn’t… good… in my opinion) [image] and yeah, the white silico…

[twitch77 (Green=Love)]

lol that’s amazing!

[d34dj3d]

My yoyojams. Especially the hitman and xcon. I even like the big kahuna, in spite of all the hate its gotten over the years. I have another hitman and a theory coming to fill the empty spots. Yes, I know 4 of these are monkeyfinger, I like those also.

[Travelingyoyokid (Jeremiah)]

Have you ever considered making it unresponsive? Maybe you would like it.

[Travelingyoyokid (Jeremiah)]

Which is worse?

• Dv888
• Metal drifter

[FrankieJR (FrankieJankie)]

I didnt even mean to vote i never used a DV888. I love the metal drifter though.

Codings anti dv888 thing must have been before I joined the forum cause I dont get the joke. It doesnt look like a bad yoyo

[Travelingyoyokid (Jeremiah)]

Same here it doesn’t seem that bad.

[FrankieJR (FrankieJankie)]

Oh… its a thread from 2018. Is it like the flat bearing fiasco?

Im not gonna read all that lmao.

[fatguysnacks247 (FSYB & FairTradeYoyos)]

i bought one, my kiddo plays it… sort of like a combo of a mighty flea and a wrecking ball, the size-ish of an 888? it’s dangerously fun? funly dangerous? a toothchipperingly capable enough beginner throw?

are these the things running through @codinghorror’s head? are they running through mine? get out of my head @FrankieJR!!!

[FrankieJR (FrankieJankie)]

Haha. Idk i never used it. I did click the link and saw CH had a pic of a dv888 with some pads sticking out making the gap look like as thick as the string lol.

[RABid (Digital Hillbilly - Grumpy old man.)]

I use an unresponsive DV888 B stock as a banger and it is just fine. For $10 it is a good Yoyo for learning. Good size. No worries if I nick it. Does better than those $10 “newbie” yo-yos.

[FrankieJR (FrankieJankie)]

Nice. My “guilty” throw has to be my Ti 888. Expensive but whenever im in the middle of practicing…i just go back to playing with the hubstacks lol

[ChrisFrancz]

Me too. That’s why I got the galaxy colorway.
