I had my brand new Dif-e-Yo Juggernaut roll away from me today when the string just slipped off my overly-dry throw finger. Thankfully it only sustained a few tiny scuffs that you really have to look for to see. While I’m bummed as I like to take care of my stuff, it’s not a throw I anticipate ever selling and, besides, these are toys and a certain amount of damage is bound to be done, no?

I was shooting the moon once with my Deep State and wasn’t minding my overhead clearance…I shot the tree instead.

And then the other day I was shooting the moon on a friend’s Butterfly XT when on the reverse upward fling, the yoyo did an ā€œawning grindā€ before coming back down…it would have been brilliant if it still had enough spin to return to my hand.

The other day I was adjusting string tension on my loonie and I waited too long and it flew right off

I was practice a little freehand the other day with my replay pro and an ultra lite counterweight and somehow smacked myself in the left eye with the ultra weight. But I guess that will happen in freehand play.

Oh, manaaaaan! The last two videos gave me big, hearty laughs!!! My first laughs all day! And you’re wearing a shirt which basically says to bystanders you are a yoyo expert! I feel your pain and it takes real basketballs to post videos like this…
