My first was a Henrys Lizard and it wasn’t good at all. At the time I could make it spin for about 20 seconds but now I can spin it for 1 minute. That’s actually not that bad because it doesn’t even have a ball bearing, it has a slider axle. Anyway, some time after I got a Journey so I could really start learning.
