Alright team, So I have some wooden yoyos now. I have a rereleased Duncan Jeweled Tournament looper, a BC Phantom looper, and most recently, a Tom Kuhn No-Jive. What’s everyone’s favorite? I haven’t got any TMBRs yet, but I’m thinking that I might have to get a Baldwin, Lovejoy, and Fremont all of them. I’m not so keen that I’ll sell all my metals and buy fixed for life, but right now, I can loop while sitting down and that’s amusing enough. I’m thinking I’ll need a second case for days where only wooden will do… What are some other reasonably accessible yoyos that I should hunt down? ---

I love my wooden throws. I have an original no-jive which has been with me since 1990… It still plays great too. I have a few BC’s too and they are great!!! I sold most of my wood collection when I got into high end metals. I had about 17-18 original Tom Kuhn’s now I have just one… ---
