This thread is to help you identify any random colorway you couldn’t figure out, or a yoyo you don’t know what it is. ---

So this is the yoyo that got me back into throwing. A friend of mine gave it to me to get my foot back in the door. Of course it doesn’t play well and falls apart within a couple throws but would still love to know what this is.

I don’t remember what it’s called, but I got one in a gift shop for like $15. ---

Almost got one for my first metal but really glad I didn’t as I would have outgrew it fast and I already was looking for something unresponsive and stable so I can learn intermediate tricks. Similar construction to those metals you can buy at the Dollar Tree. ---

Yeah. Never really got any use. A buddy of mine I met from work was throwing one day and kinda brought me back to my childhood. I tried his yoyo out but didn’t know about binding so I gave up. A couple weeks later and he said, “a friend gave this to me. If you can fix it its yours.” I took it. Tried to play it and fix it but no dice. It got me as far as getting to a double or nothing but lost speed to get it back to my hand. Was really excited to throw again so I bought a too hot. Thanks to him and this yoyo.
