Yoyo Boomers Club

Just remember, this is a Boomer version of Mr. Glens @Glenacius_K work. His other yoyos are amazing and more agile than this one.

Basically dont judge based only on this yoyo. His other models are amazing as well.

I do love this model though. Its personality is amazing, almost slow motion and easy.

This was Mr. Keith’s ONE July, it is a very capable representation.

Still havent found my ONE yet…

But I did find this gem unpacking today. No clue why it was where it was.

At least I have something to throw again!

I do know where my yoyo box is! Just cant quite get to it yet.

Oh no!! You lost the RBC?

I am going to say “Misplaced”. It was in a pair of jeans I changed out of prior to the move. By the time I got back to my room, my wife and her sisters had my jeans packed away. No one could remember which box.

While I have been enjoying fixed axel since July, I honestly cant wait to get into my yoyo box.

I am missing bearings. My first throw will be the Wokhorse v.2. Still in the package Mr. Jake sent me, unopened.

I currently have your v2 PIF. Would you like me to send it your way?

No Thank you.

I have one waiting for me still in the box.

If you are ready to pass it on, post it up here when you are ready.

So if you chew all the gum, how does the play change? Can you then fill it with buckshot to make it even heavier!?

Okay, I was asking this over on discord but not everyone’s over there. Anyone opposed with the idea of setting a date and time for consistency for the boomer club online meet ups.

like every second Thursday 7pm to 9pm EST or whatever. Just an example we can refine it but that’s been about where we have been at anyway.

I think being able to plan for the meet every month and know when its gonna happen well in advance is more likely to get a better turn out.

If desired, we could also do an alternating schedule liken every other second Tuesday 5:30pm EST and every other 2nd Thursday 7pm est.

just to give more people a chance to meet in general but not sure if that A-B schedule would be more confusing or not.

I like the idea of a regularly scheduled meeting. It makes it easier to plan it into a month, with so much craziness going on with work, kids, etc…

Not great but better than I expected. However, after eating the gum and dropping the weight, it plays horrible. I started experimenting with increasing the weight again but never got back to it. I was going to glue some metal weights inside the cap.

I’m good with the idea of a set time. I lean more toward the alternating schedule as there are almost always conflicts and this gives more people greater opportunity. As an example, I have a commitment every Thursday night that I can’t neglect, so if Thursday were etched in stone I would never be able to make a meeting. But if there were an alternate every other month I could work that in. I don’t feel like it should be that confusing. At least I hope not. :smiley:

Ok y’all. I’ve had my time with the Workhorse v2 PIF. Also, I leave for a two week vacation on Thursday, so let’s get this shipped out by Wednesday! Who wants it next?

*My thoughts:*

I haven’t been involved in the build of this thing, and I didn’t touch the v1, but I will say that this is a beautiful piece. It feels great in the hand, the finish is great, and it does everything it should and does it well. All that said, the metal Harbinger has spoiled me (and makes me wonder if the Workhorse could be a couple grams lighter?) This WHv2 is awesome, but it didn’t knock the ‘binger out of first place (for me). It definitely makes the podium tho! :1st_place_medal::2nd_place_medal::3rd_place_medal:

Also, regarding Berv’s included strings … I tried a few and was glad I got to. They’re very different than other strings I’ve tried. I think I’m gonna hang onto one of the Ink strings, I really like how it plays in my Harbinger. Slip knot does like to let go of my TH finger, but that can be solved with an extra loop.

Thanks for sharing, all!

A regular schedule would be cool and I would be cool with the staggered schedule. I can see how that could work in our favor, keeping different people involved. I am retired, so the time that works least well for me is later at night, just because of my schedule.
