The XT is most definitely a very capable yoyo. It’s responsive, but not snaggy, and it handles simple string tricks well, as well as old school responsive tricks. I kind of like the feel of the starbursts, I prefer silicone, of course. but it’s fine. but the **sound,** I cannot stand the sound of string grinding on the starbursts… just cut my ears off, man. I’ll have to try out some shims. ---

I’ll consider it; I’m thinking of picking up some washers at the hardware store and sticking 'em in my Butterfly XT, we’ll see what I think of that. ---

The Kasm should also come with “bearing locks” essentially making it great for fixie play. It’s really pretty amazing for the price. ---

I don’t think I’ve ever beefcaked a setup to where it didn’t play pretty wonky, haha. To be fair, my experience with this was mostly with G-Bearings and very slimlines, which is already pretty unique, lol. ---

It’s an old mod that @DocPop invented. It’s just putting 2 bearings in a yoyo, one on top of the other. It’s a neat trick for old yoyos with teeny tiny bearings. ---

G-Bearing are the ones that Custom uses, right? somewhat unrelated, but have you ever used a Custom Reactor? I’m thinking about picking one up. of course, I don’t expect it to be a well performing, trick to trick to trick kind of yoyo, but is it fun? ---

Yeppers And not the Reactor specifically, but I played around with the MAG series for a while. I will admit, they are aesthetically pleasing. :wink: ---
