Seeing as the current trick a week thread is all 1A I like the idea of responsive and fixed axle and more old school 1A tricks being featured for a boomer trick a week thing here.
Heck we could make it bi weekly no need to get wild with it two weeks to learn and present a trick on camera seems doable and a nominal pace.
Another idea;
Club Fund Raiser. See how many Snap Backs we can Purchase if YoyoExpert does them for the Toy’s for Tots drive this year?
I like this idea allot as well. I often look for various ways to give back in the communities I’m a part of.
This is a FANTASTIC idea!
I would love to participate in an alternative trick-a-week!
FYI - Respawn X dropping tonight at 8:00pm eastern…
With an awesome artist engraving!!!
Gah. I was ready for this. Checked the account and the wife spent my respawn money on a new bag. lol I guess that’s what I get for not communicating. She owes me.
I keep saying it, but I’m sick of all the 4.5+mm gaps on unresponsive yoyos. 4mm, maybe a tad wider is perfect for an unresponsive. FH1 inspired, 58mm x 38mm, schmoove grooves, 4-4.1ish gap, no more than 66g, needs to have some rim weight. Basically a @G2_Jake designed/inspired YWET. It would be a game over yoyo for me 
You should try and afterlife. It’s a bit wider than your goal but hits a lot of boxes.
I started on the design with some notes we landed it. I’ll try to circle back to what we were at. I guess I can get this more rolling with the responsive waiting to be machined.
Yeah, I fully agree.
It is somewhat weight depenedent though. A 4.25mm gap on a light yoyo can result in messy binds, but that same gap on a 67g yoyo will bind very well.
The transfer from throw power into spin is way better on a sub 4.5mm gap too. Most modern yoyos lack that feel of your throw power being translated well into spin.
Some good examples of some sub 4.5mm gap yoyos the are the YYR Helvetica, Spinworthy Steadfast and just about any Onedrop yoyo. These all feel nice and powerful on the throw.
I think 4.35mm is a great gap width for yoyos 66g and up.
It’s on my list, will be getting one eventually.
Is it fair to assume all who post on this thread are declaring their Boomer Club allegiance or at least want to be added to the club list?
I would say anyone posting in this thread is Pro Boomer.
Just because someone posted in the thread, does not mean they are in the “Club”.
If someone wants to be in the club, they need to volunteer. “Can I Join”, "I would like to be a Member. , etc.
Anyone who has claimed to be a member has their name listed in the first thread. At this point, we are up to 48 members.
If you want to be a member and do not see your name in the first post. Let me know.
