and does it effect **HOW** you throw? My order of preference is 1) Out in the yard - plenty of soft grass. No stress & I can try new stuff without fear of damage. 2) In-doors over carpet. 2nd best, but still a small chance of a ding (coffee table leg…) 3) Anywhere else, or over an unforgiving surface (concrete). I don’t have too much of a problem with this, but it’s **Always** in my mind when I’m throwing- I use a longer than average string length. I would not try anything new & I feel like I’m tempting fate. It does give me a weird sense of … pride? … that I can walk into the valley of death & survive unscathed, so there’s that.

I realize a scuffed or dinged throw isn’t the end of the world, but I like to keep my stuff looking new.

Also, if it matters, I’m a 0a type, so 0 mounting or string tricks for me, just smooth, slow, hop the fence into loops type stuff. Incidentally, If you have not tried the Origen & liked the Luminator, I highly recommend it!

Have a Great day my dudes!

Where ever I have space to throw is the short answer. I’ve come to embrace the ding

Indoors, over carpet, without my wedding ring, far away from obstructions.

However, if there is no wind, throwing outdoors in the grass is a fantastic feeling.

I only throw where I can yoyo nude in front of a full length mirror. Anyplace else is too uncomfortable for me.

Where ever. I have a few that I don’t mind dinging. I’m in the heart ward waiting area right now on a hard floor. I was in a tight area with lots of obstacles at yoyofactory a couple of hours ago trying a few different yoyos. I was worried I was going to hit something

I got better at Eli Hops and sky binds when the weather warmed up and I could go outside. Even though there’s plenty of headroom in the office, those early smacks against the ceiling fan got into my head lol
