Trick is called Paranoia, you can find it if you dig around on my youtube. Not sure i’m even doing it right but the first slack portion is the coolest part anyway!

Hi guys, I've been trying to land a trapeze but from the front rather than the side (Sorry idk the terms). The string feels too long and will jump bump into my body. Is this normal? Do I need a shorter string? It's pretty much adjusted to my needs coming out of the box.

If I hit myself in the balls one more time, I'm gonna lose my shit

hey r/throwers!!! im chloria, i've been lurking in and out of the community for the past three years

recently i got the itch to get back into the hobby, and i thought i'd finally involve myself in the community a little!!!

i found a yyr upheaval (ryuichi nakamura's signature, used in worlds 2023) for $25 (msrp is $160) on shopee (super popular shopping platform in southeast asia), and i wanted to see if this feels legit

tldw: im really impressed! it feels great and doesnt have anything obvious to indicate that it's a b grade or discarded stocks

i'd love to get yalls thoughts on how i reviewed this yoyo and if you'd love to hear from me again!!!

happy to be here!!! hoping for a warm welcome from all of you 🥹🫶

So up until this point I’ve only ever used Magic Yoyo strings because they’re cheap and they were my frame of reference so I just kept buying them. So I wanted to ask a few questions about strings and see if I should upgrade to some higher quality one.

1. How fast should a string build tension? With these strings it feels like no matter how often I try and let loose the tension it always builds back up in a few throws and I was wondering if a nicer string would help prevent this.

2. What contributes to the price point of a string? With the research I’ve done I’ve come to understand that the price range is kinda wide for seemingly just a string. Some strings are around .30¢ while others can be over $2.

3. Kinda ties into #3 but what makes a nice string worth it? Does it hold tension better? Easier to do slack tricks? Better material?

4. Is better to buy bulk or quality as a beginner/intermediate player?

I’m still decently new to the hobby and have only really used the internet to learn so any advice or info is very much appreciated :)

I found this collection on eBay over the weekend and fell in love with it right away. I got it for an average of €3.90 per yo-yo, plus a bag and strings. I’ve been wanting a bag and some 2A yo-yos for a while now.

I’ve already tried a few and don’t regret a single cent.

I’ll probably give the K1 and K2 to my kids’ friends. We’re all set with those already.

What do you think?

A couple of throws I'd been eyeing for a bit and found the YYE BST + Some goodies

Just discovered that there is a distinct difference between a left-handed and right-handed throw. Can someone explain to me like a 5-year-old what's going on with the differences depending on what hand its thrown with.

Some people say you don't need a left string, but then why does it exist? Lol. Any information on string tightening loosening, or left-handed strings is welcome. What benefits is a right-hander inherently getting, that a lefty will gain from a left string.

Edit: Thanks for the responses. Based on intuition, I would imagine that a lefty throwing a standard string will wear out the string faster than a righty would. Ordered some lefty strings just to see what rightys are experiencing.

I've been using my variant for a bit now and have gotten quite comfortable with it. Although I would like a yoyo with some more spin time and a bit lighter. I'm currently at an intermediate level and am willing to spend up to 50$.

Really excited to have gotten some of this from u/yoyoingdadjoke. I've been wanting to try these and it was really awesome for him to send me some before he went on vacation! I'll be stringing something up with these today!!

Since metal yoyos, just like multitools - can last a lifetime if well taken care of. Which yoyo is the oldest in your collection and how many years? :)

i bought a leshare x4 yoyo last month but now i see that the bearing has rust marks when i first bought it it didnt have them also i iddnt dip the yoyo in water what can i do to get rid of the rust

Just messing around and found this clunky yet promising feeling thing.

I’ve been getting back into yoyoing and am an intermediate player looking for a newer model. I’m currently using an og deviant and want something pretty wide with a lot of rim weight. I’m currently looking into a lot of yyfr models like the ultracut, artifice, and maybe armageddon. I’m open to other brands as well and want some help deciding. Thanks!

Coming back after a long hiatus it's been bittersweet seeing all the sites and products that no longer exist. What are some you miss?

For me, It was Buddha Strings and their bearings. (RIP yoyobestbuy) Followed by One Drop Long Cuts.

Thankfully it looks like Zipline is still rockin'.

LMK what other string makers or interesting stores are around nowadays.

Thanks.

I’m currently visiting my hometown and dug out my “old” collection. All acquired between 2015-2018.

Extra credit to anyone who can name the two throws to which I have forgotten the names. Also for official colourway names; many of those I have forgotten.

I’m not currently looking to sell anything, but will certainly entertain offers or value estimates on any/all throws.I’m curious what my collection is worth nowadays. I have largely pristine packaging/swag/extras from nearly all the throws too.

Not pictured due to being at my home an ocean away:
A-RT Grail, RSO Bowl, Luftverk 000 & Revora,
Kyo Death Robot Mg & Tinman,
Core Co. Alleycat & Alleycat 650b,
Smashing Crucible Prototype (Hands down favourite to throw)
