The pitch for this yo-yo can still be found in certain website museum sections, and it seems indistinguishable from how the current wave of wide yo-tops are being sold: great for big, showy tricks and not as bad for other things as you might assume.
Did these yo-yos not deliver? Was the audience not there? Did they do fine until widths oscillated back towards narrow?
C3 has been at it with these wide yo-yos this whole time. It’s a configuration that people have had plenty of chances to decide is or isn’t what they want in a yo-yo.
I was putting together a Google sheet of yoyos used, their specs, player scores, along with some other details for mostly 1a for a while. Got a reasonably complete list up to maybe 2014 or so.
Here we are talking about who buys the yo-yo’s or who wants them bought for them, maybe? No never, cause if we “Older” folks buy our own yoyo we probably are in that group of people on this forum that are bias to one side of the throw. Under50mm) Think about that anyone, of course we like older nostalgic throws and styles and kids like new ■■■■, I think it’s that simple. When you’re buying as a newbie to yo-yoing and being young it’s gonna go towards what we have now on the market, WIDE like nobody wants. But we older folks we collect and respect all these aspects of yoyo. Maybe we can’t get lost in the new hip movement but maybe we will! For me I’m just not a fan of the pushy way it’s going out sometimes. Dude can’t even keep track of what yo-yo he should promote cause so many were released in such a short time. Let’s stay Logic!
Re: Brandon Vu, I’m often reminded of this comment from him when the topic of wide yo-yos comes up:
Re: the poll, it seems like a fairly even bell curve spanning the most common currently available yo-yo widths. This doesn’t strike me as likely to be biased in a particular way.
