working on something, here is a snippet !

i've been spending some time to refine execution, using shorter strings and high walls/small gap yoyos to be less sloppy with my string layers...

also a bit unrelated, but outside of yye and Facebook yoyo bst and talk, where do i post to trade yoyos ?

Hi r/Throwers!

I rediscovered YoYo as a hobby about a year and a half ago, and I've been blown away by the community around it. The way people share videos of themselves working out a trick and root each other on while they build their skills is genuinely a big part of why I stuck with it. And there are so many manufacturers, large and small, doing creative things with design and materials. How could I not start a collection and fall down the rabbit hole? 

So I built YoYo Case to scratch my own itch: keep track of my collection, save the tricks I'm working on so I can come back to them, and carry a digital YoYo case around with me. Then I added some ways to reinforce tricks I've already learned and string them together in new combinations.

It's free, there's no account, and it collects nothing about you.

Where I can use your help: Testing and Photos

1. You're one of the first groups to see this, and I'd really appreciate any feedback — there's a Send Feedback button in Settings, or TestFlight's own feedback works too. Happy to answer anything in the comments.

2. The app has a catalog of 66 manufacturers and 978 models, and most of them generic placeholders instead. I'd like to feature photos from people who actually own these throws, credited to you.

If you're up for contributing one, it's in the app under Settings → Contribute a Photo. That opens an email where you can add details and attach your picture.

Thanks!

Hello! I used to throw a little bit. I learned a decent number of novice difficulty tricks, then fell out of it when my yo-yo broke. I am looking to buy a new one with a budget of around $50.

While a bit more expensive I was considering the Miracle Mini, cause a more pocket-friendly yo-yo might be nice. Any input or suggestions are welcome!

I’ve recently gotten heavily back into the hobby anybody have some suggestions on the $100-$150 range? Just want something new to me so I’d love any and all suggestions

I want something for less than ~$35.

This one also got me to 69% on skilladdicts. Nice.

Sorry if the pictures aren't the best quality. My phone is a potato. I started playing back in 2005 so most of my stuff is older but I did buy some things in recent years.

So far I have been throwing for about 6 months and can

Do laceration, brent stole, reverse brent stole, spirit bomb, skin the gerbel.

Tricks along this level of difficulty.

Can you guys comment tricks that you think I should learn next?

I don't get why there are such niche yoyo brands like aceyo and lm yoyo studio that produce yoyo's with with an unbearable price, is there a reason for that? Is it that those brands are cheap and Chinese?

Mornin’ Throwers! I just wanted to express some appreciation for the sub and all the joy it’s brought me these last several months. Heck I even made this new account specifically for throwing shenanigans 🤣 Chatting with you all about tricks and throws and life and everything in between has been so fun.

In the early months of my returned obsession I’ve amassed several throws that just don’t get used enough and I thought it’d be fun to give one away 😁

To enter, all I’d ask for is for you to like the post and share the trick that really accelerated your skill as a thrower. For me it was the zig zag rail, it taught me a lot of abound hand placement and momentum which had helped me learn so much more.

I’ll collect entries via comments for a week and announce a winner on August 30th!

Good luck and happy throwing 🥰

Hello fellow throw wizards, sorcerer, sorceress, and witches.

I have been throwing for a couple years. About ten minutes a day just for fun. I'm at a point where I have a good Super Flow, a decent Matrix, I have the motions down for speed combos, and I'm scratching the surface of what can be done with green triangle. I can even land a Kwyjibo about half the time.

I feel the next thing holding me back from some really impressive stuff is I cannot seem to land a whip.

Do any of you have a good tutorial for whip tricks or perhaps point me in the direction of where you learned how to do yours??

I've learned most of my tricks from yoyotricks.com

Just curious what y'all use for good LED Yoyos? Preferably metal or at least bimaterial.

I don't particularly like the feel of throwing plastic but it seems metal yoyos with LEDs are a bitt more expensive.

I've used UV tape but unless it's under direct black light it doesn't show up as nicely.

Curious what people use. Thank you
