I never used Kitty string fat and for the first time I used one in my Bonfire that I got yesterday and is it just me or does the string kinda feel plasticy at frist? I noticed the difference after playing the string a bit more. Do Kitty String Fat need time to break in? I always use KS normal.
I always thought it played pretty nice right off the bat. Tastes may vary!
I want to get a b grade yoyo but the website has a password. What's up with that?
You know that part where it says "Available Friday, June 6th at 10 PM EST"?That means that Friday, June 6th, at 10 PM EST, the store will be open with no password. :)
Chris,
do you strictly throw your own return tops, or will you sporadically aquire and throw other companies' too, and if so, do you have a favorite non-clyw aluminum throw ?
I just heard Chris raving about the 2014 Genesis. He just really likes return tops. Well, good ones. ;)
Hello. I recently received a fools gold Gnarwhal packed in a grocery bag and no string within the shipping box when ordered from the bgrades website. Any chance the upcoming fools gold will come in actual boxes? Thanks.
Just got my Bonfire and it is REALLY REALLY GOOD. After a few throws though, the bearing got louder. Is that the way it's supposed to be because I opened the yoyo and I spined the bearing and it sounded a little gritty or dry. Should I put a small drop of yoyofactory long spin/thin lube on?
A little lube is great, but bearings do gain some noise once they break in. Some break in faster than others, but yah...don't be afraid to add a drop or two of lube. Pretty sure the YoYoFactory Long Spin stuff is actually a solvent that helps clean your bearing, not lubricate it. Might be wrong on that.
Is it bad to swap response pads in a yoyo the same you would like a bearing?
Not really...although pulling out pads and then trying to re-use them is going to damage the adhesive, which could give you a pretty heroic snag if one comes loose while you're playing.
Arctic Circle, Arctic Circle 2, Wooly Marmot 2, Bonfire, Puffin, Avalanche, Gnarwhal, Gnarwhal 2.Don't get too excited though...some of those there are only like two or three of them available. Since we switched over to having One Drop handle all our machining, the number of Fools Gold from each run has dropped dramatically.
If you're just getting started, something like the YoYoFactory Velocity will probably do you well. We make high-end return tops for experienced players...so practice up before you get one of ours!
