What’s a popular yoyo you dislike?

Luftverk plastic Fulvia. I don’t hate it but for how popular it was I don’t think my feelings match that energy. Also, the yoyofriends Nucleon is way too powerful for me, the kick makes it hard to enjoy. Though, it does comes in handy when learning a trick and you want to sit in a mount figuring something out.

The nucleon is my trick learner. If I have the patience to sit through a tutorial.

I feel like that with the plastic 000, as well. It’s ok, but it feels a little big and clunky to me.

Same with the Pleak. I only discovered I wasn’t an organic enjoyer after experiencing the lack of stability it had. I get the feeling most of those who sung its praises were there when the Peak was first released. I was only about 2 when that happened

You don’t like any organics at all though? :hushed_face: I’m not a hardcore organic guy but they are fun at times when just relaxing. The Haymaker OG is pretty stable. I like playing certain yoyos with limitations at times for the challenge.

Not true organics. I have a Rainier, Yoshicuda X and a Beater. Only the beater is a true organic and is my least favorite. But while I’m not a fan of the performance, I fully understand why fans love them. It’s not the performance, it’s the feel that matters, and the beater feels AMAZING to play. I just don’t get nearly as frustrated with it as I did the Pleak.

I much prefer the Loadout 2 to the 1. Different as they arent lol…they are different, but very similar.

for loadout specifically i feel like that’s kinda good and mission accomplished. my understanding was it’s a generalist model that is released on a schedule that makes it obtainable by anyone that wants one. i guess if they’re finally starting to sit, everyone that wants one got one. obviously im just speculating but my glass is half full :grin:

Along the same lines here, how does the SR compare to the 1 and 2? Is it more similar to one or the other?

i don’t find 1 and sr to be vastly different. slightly different hand feel, but play and pacing were same

Good to know, I will pass on an SR then. I don’t dislike the 1 but I find the 2 to be much more suited to me.

I couldn’t agree with you more. I never understood it. The Grail is Just an ugly yoyo. And I definitely preferred the Scout to the chief

think the chief and grail are the most conceptually copied yo-yos. It’s kind of like how characters and movie formulas are copied, and when you see the stuff that come after without seeing the original, it’s hard to go back and appreciate it. They were before my time of joining yo-yoing, but I wonder if I would be able to appreciate them.
