Im not quite that particular, but I do similar things. A lot of my favorites will get the nylon treatment, but poly on other favorites because I like both types of strings for different reasons. Snaggy yoyos get concaves and grooved bearings, organics typically get flat bearings, and everything it between gets a CT or some other similar string centering bearing (occasionally you get a yoyo that comes stock with a premium bearing like an NSK, and I will stick with that). Thick strings for yoyos that don’t quite have the tightest binds, etc.
I used to deshield, clean, and lube all new yoyos with their stock bearing, but ive seen some compelling arguments about breaking bearings in, so I will usually play with them for a few hours brand new before making any changes.
Im also with you on selling yoyos. It isnt worth my time, and I just like to cycle through my throws just to appreciate the differences in feel.
I’m a little obsessive about tension and clean binds. I’m a lefty, so when I throw the string loosens, and I tend to over-compensate and make it too tight so I don’t have to adjust tension as often. If I feel like I get a sloppy bind on a breakaway, I always throw a front-style throw to fix it.
I also ALWAYS have all my yoyos in a Throw Bag or paracord holster when I’m not playing with them, so I can grab it and go when I leave the house no matter which yoyo I decide to take. The only exception is my Lowkey Woodland, because it always goes in its fancy wood box when it’s not in use. I’m sure this won’t continue as my collection grows, but for now I only have a few yoyos so I have enough holsters and Throw Bags to keep them in.
The only string color I can use it neon yellow.
I don’t know what it is, but I feel like strings that aren’t yellow don’t play as well, even if it’s the same exact type of string in a different color
I know this isn’t founded in any sort of reality, but I can’t help it!
