The first yoyo i ever bought was the YoYoJam Aquarius, about 1 1/2 years ago. I’ve bought about 15 after that. But my main concern is that i really got into Offstringing. And i don’t like throwing the Aquarius because of the high response on it. Before it even goes into the air, it comes back on me. So now i use the Dark Magic, since it has a KK bearing in it. But i want to use the Aquarius because it has rubber edges. Does anyone know how i can make less responsive and the spin time longer? ---

I don’t get this. You have an Aquarius, that’s clear. You have a DM2, that’s also clear. Are you saying you’ve bought 15 oher Aquarius yoyos or 15 other yoyos period? I’d think if you’d sink so much into yoyo’s you’d know a bit more about your various yoyos. Correct me if I’m wrong, as I have an Aquarius too, isn’t it an adjustable gap? I found doing my test throws, it was getting snaggy, so I loosened it up and it worked better. I never caught it, but considering I never did 4A before in any way, I wasn’t expecting much either. I was merely testing to ensure the yoyo was otherwise working as it should. I’m not into off-string yet. The Aquarus was bought to be a beater to be used to learn off-string when I’m ready to learn off-string. I have other off-strings in inventory and planned so when I get into off-string I’ll be ready and have some variety. ---

I’ve bought many yoyo’s following the purchase of the Aquarius. But their all on string. Im not good with offstring yoyo’s, but i want to learn. When you say adjustable gap. Do you mean loosen up one of the sides as if i was going to fix a knot around the bearing?. ---

No, don’t loosen it up that much. But yes, you’ll need to unscrew it a little but, say like a 10th of a turn or less and then try a test throw until you find something that works for you. ---

You really need to keep practicing your throw. That aquarius can handle anything you could throw at it. It’s not the yoyo’s fault here. Just keep working at it. ---
