My favorite is one made from cherry, which is very dense. Just a traditional shape, good for stalls but a little heavy for looping. ---

I looked up the Woodchuck yoyos, those look great! Very similar profiles to the Irving by the looks of it. ---

Holy cow. I’m jealous of those No Jives. Can anyone tell me how that one piece No Jive compares to the 3-in-1? I don’t imagine that there are a huge number of differences except weight? ---

First, the obligatory acknowledgement of how great Ed is. Because it’s just a truism at this point. Just got a couple of No-Jives and I’m addicted. Had one back in the day but didn’t really understand its greatness. Spending about 80% of my yoyo time with them right now. Stalls are FUN. I’ve got a Fremont and a couple of Sleep Machines, too, but they didn’t grab me the way the No-Jives have. Definitely looking forward to ordering a few more TMBRs in the future. ---

I have a No Jive - but just can’t seem to get it set up the way I’d like it to play, and struggling to tune it so it’s relatively wobble free. Currently rocking a Russell Ellipse (plastic with wood axle) from the 1970s, fantastic little yoyo. Of course, I’d still love to get my hands on something turned by Eric Wolff. ---

I’ll post a photo review of the Baldwin when it arrives. I’ve never done any string tricks with a fixed axle butterfly so this should be very interesting…and painful. :wink: ---
