You want to scientifically determine what the best material for a yoyo is.
Unless you can devise fair tests to exhaustively determine this for millions of different materials, then you canāt do it.
Determining the best material for a responsive needs to also marry up with what people think too. Why? because playing yoyo is something to people enjoy, so it can never be objectively determined whay the best material is if at the end of the day people donāt enjoy a yoyo from that material.
What Iām saying is, that due to the nature that is meant to be enjoyed, a battery of scientific tests canāt determine what the best material is when peopleās enjoyment, regardless of the material, cannot be measured.
nopeā¦ smhā¦
besides, tests and data are already out thereā¦ iāll even provide some that may or may not prove useful for wood hereā¦ as well as some othersā¦
EDIT: MOOOOOOOO
Great. Now measure peopleās enjoyment while using that material.
Also, that doesnāt prove how good the material is for a yoyo.

What is the ideal material for a responsive yoyo? ā> Whichever material suits peopleās enjoyment most. ā> Which material is most conducive to enjoyment? ā> Itās different for everyone. ā> Which variables does everyone use to determine enjoyment? ā> They base it on a combination of factors including material. ā> What is the ideal material for a responsive yoyo?
I canāt tell whether the circularity of this discussion is intentionally punny.

This thread got a lot more combative than I thought it would, lol.
My ideal responsive is a Mega Crash, but squeezed together, with a 2.5" wall, and a 2" response pad. It will be unwieldy and stupid. Like me. Suck it, nerds.

You mean like the YoYoJam Mega SpinFaktor only even more ridiculous?
Then thereās this monster, which is kinda scary to play. Spinworthy boon for scale.

I donāt feel unwelcome! The opinion that āadd more [wood yo-yo] chaos to your life, itās the bestā is very very specifically what is unwelcome. I GOT ENOUGH CHAOS IN ME LYFE RIGHT NOW ED KTHXBYEeeee
That being said, I continue to be mega sad that the Tom Kuhn company is dying an excruciatingly slow and painful death ā¦ the 3-in-1 is a legendary classic

I think a better way of putting it is that the inconsistencies of wood make each piece unique and different, even among the same yoyo, and this is what makes it great. Also the lack of super-smoothness also adds grittiness to the enjoyment (kind of like guitar distortion or dissonant chords in music). The perfection lies in the imperfection.
And damn did this thread get serious fast. I wasnāt exactly intending to be able to imagine the platonic form of a responsive yoyo, but it makes me kind of happy that at least someone tried

Yea well, id rather the Washington Post stay away from good music. The metal underground, at least pre-covid, has been doing a stellar job.
