MYY n9 Floating. I don’t hate it, I just think I may have gotten a bad one. I wouldn’t use it even if it worked perfectly…

Awh man! I love the N9, it’s my daily carry, have you tried taking off the stacks? Because the stakcs nearly ruined the yoyo for me.

Oh yeah I also bought a one drop yelets and regret buying it. Gave me no problems but just wasn’t my cup of tea

As well as CLYW glacier express I regret ever buying to me the stability was no where near the description of stability it was given. I couldn’t believe it as a CLYW throw.

Super stable for me. Lol

Diffusion - Viby and heavy

One man’s trash is another man’s treasure, as they say.
I really like the Diffusion, thanks again, it’s in good hands.

OG Metal Zero. Had to replace each part at least twice.

I bought 3 magicyoyos that I totally regret. They have horridly slippy binds and an overall cheap feel.

I also HATED the YYF SB hectic I bought a few years back. To be honest, it just didn’t play good in any way. I had to give it away to get rid of it

their response is definitely sub par.
Have you tried just putting in some flowable?

I regret getting my Protostar. It has been giving me problems since day 1.
I regret getting my Pocket Change. It is one of the worst yoyos I have ever seen.

tell me about it, YYF really needs to step up in quality control.

Worst yoyo I’ve gotten, that would probably be the flying Panda. I threw it for the first time after I opened it, not only did the string break but the yoyo split apart. Once I got the spacers, bearing, new string, etc. I noticed cracks on the rubber on the yoyo. Which surprised me because I was throwing over marble. A few days later, the response had worn off, which I found frustrating to constantly buy Duncan Friction Stickers, then a few days later same thing happened that had happened on day 1, but this time, I lost the cheap, loose spacers. So I had to buy an axle kit, which I found useless seeing that I only had three cheap Duncan throws (Throw Monkey, Metal Drifter, and Flying Panda) so I donated the rest to my cousin, who was modding his FH.

Second worst purchase was the YYF Whip. The day I got it, it looked cool, I liked how smooth it was and I liked the shape too. But some rocket scientist decided to put in a super skin tight bearing seat on the yoyo. As a result of this, the bearing cracked, which cut the string, and rolled down a road. The thing was pretty beat, and to make matters worse, it had gone from super slight plastic vibe, to full on wobble. And that isn’t the end of it, because many of you guys know what happens next. Yup, the whip shatters and nearly blinds me on my left eye. Luckily I had my contacts on so it was really no damage, but you will notice a scar on my chin from the plastic that got past skin deep.

Those are pretty much the worst purchases I’ve ever experienced. And that’s why to this day, I don’t trust YYF or Duncan.

The plastic yoyo shattered the Outer race of the steel bearing causing the string to break which caused a plastic which doesn’t break with sharp corners to fly up and hit you in the chin and eye?

Wow!

that’s what I was thinking? Like don’t hate on YYF if you don’t like them then cool keep it to yourself you don’t need to just go out and say there a bad company when there not.

I didn’t like how they played enough to rip out the stock response and put flowable in

I have never fully regretted a yo-yo purchase. While there might have been aspects or features that could be better, I would not call it entirely a “regret.” It is not my style to bash some company or product on a public forum. I share my opinions to that extent wih people who I know personally, in private, who actually care, and who can put my criticisms in the context of knowing my preferences.

Having said that, I try to research things before I buy, and consider the purpose, whether it is to play the yo-yo, or just a collector. Worst case scenario, I have no problem selling things that I have no use for, so even if I regretted buying, I never regret trying it. Even if I sell something, I once had the benefit of test driving it.

I have never felt like I “lost” money on something. Being an educated buyer will minimize that feeling.

Oh yeah I also bought a one drop yelets and regret buying it. Gave me no problems but just wasn’t my cup of tea

As well as CLYW glacier express I regret ever buying to me the stability was no where near the description of stability it was given. I couldn’t believe it as a CLYW throw.

Super stable for me. Lol

Guess our levels of stability must be off. Stable to me is the 7075 majesty, the GE spins out with a CT bearing its decent at best, with a flat bearing its just pointless to throw a gE which prolly explain why they’re still in YYE and prolly won’t go anywhere. I bought one during this sale thing they were having and when I received it I threw it for like a day well I tried to deal with throwing it for a day and I tried to get rid of it as fast as possible and even for dirt cheap I couldn’t get rid of it. I just couldn’t stand it. Just me I guess

I’ll take it off your hands for “dirt cheap”

@GregP

None yet. However, I sort of regret giving my wife such a big list for Christmas and saying “Pick any of those and I’ll be happy.”

By the time Christmas came, I was keen to get an El Ranchero. What I ended up with was a perfectly amazing yoyo (hey, it was on my list!) but I soon thereafter started saving for the El Ranchero anyhow.

Come to think of it… if she hadn’t got me the one she did, I may never have discovered how cool a yoyo it is. So maybe I shouldn’t regret it after all.

What yoyo was it?

[Tx3x1]

The jk it unscrewed while i was yoyoing and rolled of into some crowd and im sure some one took it. So now im stuck with half a jk.

To be completely honest. This is the truth. I have both the old and the new versions. Both belong in the trash.
