I have been throwin these toys around for five years. Id say im pretty good, i have posted videos showcasing what skill i have. One thing i have noticed throughout the five years is that i have never snapped a string. I guess its because my flow is slow and more graceful / less aggressive. Dont get me wrong there are moments where my Pandora just wants to play the most perfect song and next thing you know im out in my yard doing frontflips and stuff jumping in the air and throwing a hard breakaway when my feet hit the ground again. But not once has a string snapped. I started with yyn highlights then had some G-string and am now on kitty, yoyostringlab, and my ācontrabandyoyostringsā i twist up myself.
But pleaseā¦ Someone tell me what its like to be playing and ur string snaps sending your pricey throw somersaulting across pavement. Ahh, im not even sure if i would like that sound at alll!!!
Is there anybody else who has not snapped a string?
Please donāt ask why i type both āyourā and āurā as i do not have the answer. It just happens.
It happened to me the first day I had my capless. I threw it and it rolled away and hit my drum set and got like 4 places were the paint scratched off.
sad
well, when it hits the ground, it stays stationary for a moment, and then begins to run forward on account of the spin. It usually bounces a few times and then rolls to a stop. I did this in a parking lot with my echo. Left a ton of black marks that could be rubbed off and then revealed deep dings. DO NOT TRY AT HOME OR ANYWHERE REALLY BAD FOR YOYOS
Iāve never snapped a polyester string, but I change them out regularly. I used to snap cotton string every day though. Iād get in trouble all the time because my yoyo would make dents in the wall.
lol I put dents in the ceiling a few times but that was when I was still using Slick 6, ever since swapping to poly I havenāt broken any, but Iāll still break the odd cotton string on a hand-start (with my loopers) so thatās pretty harmless anyway.
Smashes to the ground(or wall :-\ ) bouncesa bit, and rolls offā¦ Happened to me a bunch when I was starting out cuz i didnt have strings happened once when I was trying to do the grind challengr of yours with the MN :-X
I used to snap strings so often with cotton. Iāve only snapped 2 poly strings. It isnāt very pleasant to have a yoyo fly into your bathroom and make the loudest banging sound youāve ever heard. Somehow no one else in my house noticed.
Well you throw it and it feels fine until it hits the bottom. Once it hits it kinda feel like it hit the bottom harder than usual. Then all of the weight leaves you string and the desperation sets in. You try to stop it buts its just to fast. Finally it stops an you see the damage. Sadness sets inā¦ Then you get over it and keep throwing.
Its horrifying to snap a string.
To see your $100+ yoyo flying threw the air or worse, straight at the ground and come crashing down. The two times my string snapped, once was on carpet so it was okay. the second, my yoyo smashed into m driveway and the ano was ruined where it hit.
It makes you want to cry
Iāve broken a quite a few strings, though usually itās cotton on a wood axle. I did one time send a metal yoyo flying down a hill and into traffic. It didnāt survive. Anywho, Iād sum it up like this,
Iāve only snapped one string and it was on a Duncan butterfly lol. I was on my back deck showing my dad some fixed axle tricks and when I threw a breakaway, the string snapped and it flew 40 feet before it hit the ground. My dad looked at me and asked"is that expensive?" And when I replied no he put his hands up and we both laughed until we couldnāt breathe. Lol
