Yo-Yo Pet Peeves

All of us yoyoers like to talk crap, because this community has too many brats.

my friend has a 2012 supernova and a yomega hot shot so he thinks thaqt he has the best yoyo on the face of the earth. now here i come with a clyw cheif and my yoyo factory 08 888x and then he tells me how much better the supernova is than any clyw. (meanwhile he doesnt go to contests so he doesnt use ANYTHING else) that REALLY ticks me off. >:( >:( >:( >:(

Dat little tail after making a slipknot.

I personally like that little tail, as long as its not too long. :smiley:

Thats not why I made the threads… But okay cool.

Sorry, just messin.
I’ll be nicer about my points next time :stuck_out_tongue:

I’ve heard a lot of stories like this, and they never cease to amaze me. I can’t even imagine an adult walking up to me and saying “Give my kid a yoyo!”. And that story about the MVP studio42 posted a while ago was just unbelievable. Different mentalities, i guess…

having to scrape old silicone out of the groove is incredibly annoying, WHY CAN’T JUST COME OUT IN ONE PIECE >:(

I fully support the string → rope namechange, never again would you have a conversation like this:

-Son, what are you doing at the computer?
-Buying strings…
-ಠ_ಠ

To you people who just won’t walk the dog on request:

Hmm your video link is broken in the original post.

For some reason it wasn’t working with embedding and I have no idea how not to embed it, just click on the link on your quoted post.

That was funny. :smiley:

I cleaned up your posted link so it would post. Thanks for posting that! It was a worthy lol.

Spark the doggy!

one of my biggest pet peeves in general is when im watching a yoyo video, and people ask “what is the yoyo they are using” when it CLEARLY says it in the description rage face

Don’t ever get mad in the forums. Seriously. Never. If I got mad every time possible in the forums, I’d be in an asylum right now. (See what I did there?)

So I have one yoyo related pet peeve:

When string centering bearings play responsive. This idea just drives me nuts.

i wished a CLYW X Turningpoint gold plated FHZ with adamantium weight rings modded with rice stacks and has a terraspin tenball concave jet propelled flux capacitor turbo bearing was real.

When you run out of string, and your broke so you cant buy anymore. So you say “screw it” and go on a run at 5:31am, see yaaaaaaa :v:

My biggest Pet-Peeve is when people compare plastic to metal by saying “It plays like an all Metal yoyo”, which is a terrible analogy.

The only difference I find between the two different kind of materials is the way they grind.

I’d buy it!

Idk as a new thrower and someone that plays a lot of yoyos I definitely see a big difference in play between most plastics and metals. There are a few plastics that play (feel on string, feel and follow through on the throw, and return smack when it hits my hand, ect.) like a metal and there are others that definitely feel like a plastic.

Like the rally it feels much like my majesty in how it hits the string and how it hits the hand in return also how the interacts with the trick. So I’d say there is credibility to the “this plastic plays like a metal.” But the YYJ surge plays and feels much different then a metal (I love the surge) but it just doesn’t feel the same as metal throw it feels much different the throw and how it plays in the string and through the trick just feels not quite as solid.

Yoyo snobs (in this thread and elsewhere). Just so we’re all clear, how good should you be before you’re allowed to buy a high-end yoyo or write a yoyo review?
