Yeah. I’m gonna have to get a glass for sure. Just need to decide which hoodie I want!
What was the updated string you were recommending to try for the workhorse? I may need to grab some of that was well while I’m in there. 
Someone had mentioned to try thin Catalyst also for a different throw I was looking for a thinner string on…
I’m not selling Catalysts yet, but I can always toss one in with any other string/counterweight order you make. (I think @Captrogers was talking about a v1 Catalyst for what you’re thinking. I’m currently on v4…and may never be happy with them)
Inks and Elixirs are my two premium string types. Inks are slipperier, and Elixirs are pure Trilobal poly. Both strings will last a LONG time.
There’s also the Woody’s, which are similar to what came with the Workhorse v2, but are easier to string up: https://throw-yo.com/product/5pk-solutions-string-woody-wagon-stain-v2-ether/

V1 catalyst made my el mijo unresponsive with a thin bearing lol. its wildly whippy string. its weird and for normal yoying its not it but for the flying lemon it works really really well which is odd but the pair matches up.

v1 Catalyst was Wooly Nylon + Spun Poly
v2 Catalyst was Bonded Nylon + Trilobal Poly
v3 Catalyst was Bonded Nylon + Rayon
v4 Catalyst was Bonded Nylon + Wooly Nylon
Honestly…I just can’t seem to get a solid nylon string formula that I like. The only one that worked REALLY well for me was the Rainbow Emulsion strings I did for Pride month, which had a smidge of Wooly Nylon in them.
(BTW. Bonded Nylon feels like it’ll last longer than a human lifespan)

Ever look into creating a challenge coin? I’d be down to buy one if anyone has ever gotten them made.

That would be neat

i think i’ve tried the v1 and v2 so far and honestly v2 was a miss i hope you dont take offense to that. v1 has a niche use case in throws that need string that makes even the most stubborn yoyo unresponsive but it still isn’t up to par.
Rayon sounds neat but i imagine it would be a bit rough and bonded with wooly sounds really interesting would that end up being super soft?

ohh also working on something different instead of going around begging for money/ product for events I’m doing the opposite. it feels odd.

Hi friends,
Yoyo Boomer club found some synergy in supporting AYYC (Ante YoYo Cup) An online club supporting an online contest just feels right to me and allows us to fulfill our charter by giving back to the community in whatever small way we can.
Its nothing big but Boomer yoyo club will be a Bronze sponsor utilizing some (most) of the funds from our merch and yoyo proto sales so far.
Note I accounted for next years events, and we will have plenty of funds with what we have now to support FAF and MRM 2025. Anything beyond that will probably go to a charity at the end of the year or supporting whatever other yoyo events we feel would boost the community the club can talk more on that later.

I LOVE THIS!
I’ve been thinking a lot about Sponsoring events on the Throw-Yo/Yoyo Archive level, but I need to get a little bit bigger before doing so.
I’m 100% for YYBC Sponsoring! (I wish there were a Mega Heart reaction)

We had some funds and we want to use them to make yoyo better. Maybe next year we will have a bit more and be able to pay peoples registration fees for contests or be a bigger sponsor for some contest or even host a modern responsive event of some sort but thats all future club stuff for now we do what we have the funds and ability to do which feels small but hopefully helps in the end.
