What I’d do for a NoJive in multi-ply and a clean machine is probably worthy of some shame.
Sanded down the response area on a No-Jive, tuned it and now it plays and responds smoo-ooth! Really didn’t think it would play this well before I tuned it.
I’ve been digging Fremont splinters out of my finger for the last 3 weeks so the smooth edges have been nice during this period of time. I’ve had to re-open the hole up 2 different times and know I have at least one more piece to dig out. We are one for now.
I absolutely love OUT. I think the ones with the acrylic look better than any current available wood. I know there’s a lot of love for fixed axle wood yoyo’s but I would really love to see someone making some yoyo’s like Eric Wolff has made in the past and still makes some times I guess. I think the wood yoyo’s that are designed and look like metal yoyo’s and use ball bearings are awesome and I wish someone with talent like the guy who makes OUT’s yoyo’s (sorry, forgot his name) would start making some. There’s nothing available on the market besides some Kuhn’s and from what I’ve read, they’re pretty much sub par. If Eric Wolff would start making more of them and yoyoexpert sold them, that’d be perfect. I read that the OUT’s aren’t made on a lathe so I’m not sure if or how those types of yoyo’s are made, I just want some! I also really want a bloody pocket love so bad I can’t stand it! More bloodwood please OUT!
I was wondering if anybody could tell me what is supposed to be superior about the TK era No-Jive vs the BC era No-Jive? Is it just a matter of consistency?
I have 2 blue BC era 3n1s and one of them is crazy smooth after tuning and plays like a champ. The other I have yet to get near the same level so I was just wondering if this was the issue.
It gives the weight and density of most domestic and exotic woods.
Wood generally does play lighter- which is good news for your knuckles since they are responsive.
If you want something that plays more like a weighted plastic or metal, try purple heart wood-or even heavier, blood wood.
I wish the exotic woodens were two piece or take apart. So beautiful but no tuning and nasty strings will give a noob fixed axle player like myself major headaches. I’d prolly buy all three of them if were take apart.
What is a good fixed axle yoyo with decent stalls and normal string tricks? I want something with maximum responsiveness and spin times. My Baldwin is nice an comfy and responsive, with great stalls, but spins for about ten seconds on an average throw for me. My Irving excellent 25 second spin times, but hurts on return, is narrow, unresponsive at times, and useless for stalls. What will give me the best of both worlds? It doesn’t need to be take apart.
Also, I’m looking for a cotton string that is both durable and thin.
Look into the OUT yoyos. The Pocket Love and the JFF will both fit your needs. If you want a TMBR then the Turner is the way to go. It’s like the Baldwin’s big brother.
As for the string, I don’t thing durable and thin go together when you’re talking cotton string. You have to pick durable or thin. I prefer durable.
What exactly is the difference between the Pocket Love and JFF? They both look amazing and I’m not sure which one I’d like more. It kinda seems to me that everyone likes the Pocket Love more. Any recommendations on which one I should get?!
