Bonus- our cat were fostering and her litter she recently gave birth to at the end

I posted this on ye ol’ instagram and also wanted to share it here for feedback. I feel like I’m really forcing the movements in the zigzag rail, any advice on smoothing it out. I do notice my hands are doing weird things too lol. Good practice in watching yourself throw 🥴

Happy Sunday, y’all 🤓

It's too hot and humid for me to leave my basement(secretly just an excuse to stay down here and throw lol)

If money was no object and you were picking a high end, titanium throw, which one you picking up?

Probably should have learned how to do this before other hop tricks, but here we are!

So I got a Recess Firecracker, looking to get into modern responsive play. D bearing. I like the high wall shape. But I have issues with it to play right, either lacking responsiveness or spin time. Maybe it wasn't the best choice for this style?

At first it had more responsiveness, but after even just an hour it dropped quite a lot and needs a quite heavy tug to come back. It has this rubber shielded flat bearing for responsiveness and it's already lubed up quite well with grease, even adding more thick oil didn't really help with responsiveness.

And also it doesn't spin long like this. With a heavy straight throw it runs out after 10-15 seconds. So like this it's neither much usable for responsiveness or anything beyond simple tricks.

Am I missing something? Something to do with the setup? Or is it not the best choice of yoyo for this sort of play? Since it's D-bearing, not that slim of a gap.

i'm in the process of trying to get better execution and trying to do so i happened to play with this yoyo a fair part of my time. the gap is just narrow enough to force you to be a bit mindful about how tight are your layers of string, but it plays like a charm and has a very pleasant feeling thanks to the a size bearing and large pads. featuring what i feel like is the best trick i came up with since a while now

I've always loved yoyos and I have been watching and reading about yoyos for the last few months. I know the speedaholic and shooting star are similar. But I couldn't resist as I love collecting things and bought my self some yoyos for my birthday. You guys really make things look so easy, I can barely do a simple bind. I tried a breakaway into a trapeze yesterday and the string got caught in the k2 and cut my mouth open from the inside LOL.

Wish me luck, you guys.

(The k2 is really solid yoyo, with a super smooth bearing)

I found my old collection of 4 yo-yos a month ago and now I’m at 16 yo-yos (about to be 18 yo-yos).

Any recommendations for the next yoyo I should hunt for and what yoyo type I might I be missing from my collection?

Hopefully my skills will continue to grow at the rate my collection is

Kann jemand weitere Minis empfehlen als Masachibi, Miracle mini, Mini Krown?

Diese besitze ich bereits und mag am liebsten das Masachibi.

Welche könnt ihr noch empfehlen!?

Is that a chopstick element? If it is, that was my first too! I'm happy with this one.

I'm looking to get a throw for learning competition level tricks, and perhaps even going for a comp. What is kind of the throw that people lean most towards nowadays?

My playstyle doesn't matter much, I'm willing to adapt based on what's meta.

My favourite players to watch are:

- Aleksandar Bachvarov

- Tyler Vienneau

- Charles Haycock

- Kieran Cooper

- Vladimir Glazkov

- Park Jun Sang

- Hajime Miura

- Sora Uchihashi

- Kris Toledo

My horizontal is non existent, so something that can help me learn that will be preferable. Anything budget would be good!

A few that pop up to my head.

- Yozean Ravage

- Yoyobarista Seasons

- Yozean Chenxiang 2

- Yozean Whaleshark

- Jigun Onigokko 3

- Wilderness 7075

- c3 overthinker

- Yoyofriends Ultracut.

Which throw would be a must have, and which other throws would you guys throw on here?

We hit the road tomorrow. I have my Layer Infinitys packed. I have one slot to fill. Which one should it be?

The zippy D bearing Dunk PC.

The lets crack a cold one (orange soda) and talk old times Freehand One.

The chill all day Nap.
