Wood is good! Trapeze stall to brother stall and back, forth, back… felt like a great step forward! Used this guy:

Not my picture, but this is very new. I like mine alot, but it is very unresponsive. It’s the Currier made by Hildy Bros and it’s a purple heart masterpiece. Not take apart. Good heft. I like.

Looks beast

That’s beautiful. I saw their post on Facebook and instantly loved it. The art on it is great, too.

Very UNresponsive, though? Not sure I could dig that. It drove me nuts when my Raider went unresponsive on me. When you can’t even tug back a forward pass, your option is really just to rethink the kinds of tricks you’d do with it. Ie. not a forward pass. :wink:

I’d still want one of those Curriers in my collection, mind you…

mine is not unresponsive at all. i think it depends what kind of string you put on it and at what tension. mine plays a little slippy at first, but after a few minutes of break in it’s shooting the moon just great. super-cool yo-yo. luke really gets wood yo-yo’s.
