YYF Whip. Im not going to complain tho cause the only reason i bought it was because it came with a center trac bearing which was cheaper than if you were to buy the bearing separately by itself.
âŚand youâre mad because you didnât tighten it fully?
⌠so why regret it?
lol discount on the bearing and a free yoyo xD
Now its a OD ten ball Ball-bearing and the H5xChief. <â the bearing seat is WAY too tight!
a tighter bearing seat means less vibe. As long as you can still put the bearing in and remove it with tools without damaging the bearing, I donât see a problem.
I was going to reply⌠but it would have been exactly like this.
And to be honest, I havenât really played a yoyo I donât like⌠if I had to pick one I liked the least, it would be the Code 2. I even liked the Peter Fish Luminator with itâs crappy plastic bearing seat, foam pads, and extremely light body.
the bearing could break/crack,âŚ
If youâre bearing actually breaks/cracks you have to be retarded.
yeah⌠some people actually hit their bearings with hammers to demagnetize them⌠I might be confusing bearings with something else⌠ehh too tired to figure it out
I have a friend that has had 4 bearings break on him,âŚ
Bearings donât âcrackâ last time I checked steel doesnât âcrackâ under pressure. I fail to see how a tight bearing seat can âcrackâ a bearing.
You like to use this word a lot, donât you? :-\
OH my, donât start a flame war. Just remember its his account and he can say what he wants if it doesnât break the rules. ALso I know you want to act all politically correct, but when he says that do you really hurt inside? Even if it does, you are not in pre school, accept some people wonât make you happy, you will have a better life.
I agree with Greg, YYF is awesome. (Get a superstar)
Iâm not trying to start a flame war, Iâm just asking him a question.
Itâs not even about being politically correct. Itâs about being responsible with words.
As someone who has had the pleasure of spending time with mentally handicapped students, and also students with autism, I have seen how the word can hurt someone.
Also, he is breaking the rules. Though the site moderators might not consider the word vulgar (rule No. 5), I imagine him calling another member of name (or implying such) breaks the rules of keeping things civil/friendly.
Along with not trying to start a flame war, Iâm also not trying to play moderator. I was hoping my reply would just encourage him to think about his use of the word.
thatâs not physically possible.
Iâm sorry, but itâs just not⌠I had a bearing that literally couldnât be remove from a yuuksta about a year ago. The store I bought it from even tried cutting open the outer race for better access, but the inner race just wouldnât budge.
Even with the seat that tight, the bearing didnât crack or break. It wasnât effected at all, actually, and the yoyo had next to no vibe. The only reason I returned the yoyo is because I wanted to clean the bearing but couldnât, and the tight seat made it require herculean strength just to twist it together or apart.
And steel doesnât crack or break under pressure. It bends.
In my 8+ years of being involved in the âmodernâ yoyo scene - there are only four yoyos that I have been disappointed with / regretted purchasing. Not all of these are bad yoyos, just items I couldnât really connect with:
1. Original Duncan Metal Zero
This thing was hyped like crazy, it was going to be the first precision engineered metal yoyo at a price I could afford. I saved up, I believed the hype, and the yoyo just sucked.
The metal was very soft and cheap, if it touched the ground while spinning you would end up with a huge gash in the rims. If you squeezed it too hard you could bend the yoyo out of shape. Every second person who bought one managed to strip the axle threadsâŚ
I love Duncan, I love their products, their heritage, but this was one yoyo that should not have been released - the quality just wasnât there.
2. Hspin G&E3
Hspin had a thing for producing groundbreaking designs⌠They took pride in producing âSwiss madeâ yoyos and claim to be âNo.1 European High End Yoyo Companyâ.
After missing out on the legendary G&E2, I was very pleased when Hspin announced the upcoming release of the G&E3. Again, I saved up, I hustled for this yoyo that I just had to have. Except that it all went wrongâŚ
Hspinâs Swiss engineering certainly let them down with this release and how they missed the whole vibe issue before packaging and shipping them worldwide, I donât know. From a company with their prestige, this just should never have happened.
Credit to them though - they went very far out of their way to ensure that everyone who bought one and was disappointed received a refund. I did get my money back, but I never got the high-end Swiss yoyo I dreamed ofâŚ
3. No Jive 3-in-1
The talk around town was that this was the very best fixed axle yoyo you could get. I craved one for years. I saw what guys like Ed Haponik were doing with them. I HAD to have one.
I saved up, I looked around and eventually found an outlet that had one (just one) left in stock. I bought it and waited anxiously for my parcel to arrive.
I know wood is fickle, and as much as I tried, I just couldnât enjoy playing this yoyo. Maybe I got a âbadâ one⌠Tried tuning it, but whatever I did it wobbled. It wasnât great as a looper, and inverted to the butterfly shape, the response was very erratic and I just couldnât get it to play how I wanted it to.
I am sure they are fantastic yoyos, I just couldnât seem to connect to it. I found it easier to do fixed axle string tricks on an imperial shaped Russell looper.
4. SPYY Flying V
I love playing responsive, and when SPYY announced that they were releasing an âold skoolâ yoyo machined to modern standards, I just couldnât resist and snapped one up.
The yoyo is very well made, dead smooth, canât flaw it there, but I just couldnât connect to it, no matter how hard I tried. To get it consistently tug responsive, it seemed like I had to add so much thick lube that I might as well just play a fixed axle.
In the end, I put it in storage and if I wanted to play responsive, Iâd just whip out something like an old Duncan Freehand.
Perfect call on the original metal FHZ and G&E3. Both were awful.
I liked both versions.
