Also, should I he get thick lube if he gets the Lyn Fury or the Journey? Also, when he gets more into yoyoing and learns some more tricks and decides he wants to make his yoyo unresponsive by putting K-pads in it, will it play well? (Basically I am asking if the Journey/Lyn Fury would play well with K-pads in them.) 🙂

> The Lyn Fury has a double o-ring response in it, you wouldn’t need a k-pads. I still have both o-rings in my Lyn and it plays dead unresponsive. I just cleaned the bearing and put a small drop of thin lube in it. The Lyn would also easily allow the next step by taking out the o-rings and siliconing the grooves that the o-rings sit in.

I put a teeny blob of Carmex lip balm in there and that did the trick quite nicely. The reason I recommend the Lyn is that new learners usually pick up the beginner tricks fairly quickly and want to learn more advanced tricks. Rather than having to get a new yoyo to take you beyond the beginner tricks, the Lyn can take someone from beginner to advanced tricks pretty easily.

listen to this.
