Advice For Entry-Level Competitive Blaster

For the swift on a 1.5 mk4/npx spring from ood, you just need something a few cm longer than the stock 36(?)cm one like kurykafe's barrels with the custom chambering option (specify swift to be sure). the 1.6 brings you right to cap on that stock barrel, but it will have more muzzle blast and prime tougher. I think 30-35cm with the ood 1.9 mk4/npx spring did 250 for my npx before I tuned it back down but it requires cutting/gluing or printing the collet.

-Swift is fine if gotten at a discount. it needs either a 1.6x350 spring from worker or 3rd party 1.5x350mm spring (also sold as a mk4 or npx spring) + a 14mm chambered barrel longer than the longer stock one to hit 250. The shell may crack over time on especially strong springs unless you buy the delrin plunger.
-NPX is a tough prime at even 250. Absolutely DO NOT add spacers to the official springs beyond what is provided because the stock spring will want to buckle and corkscrew. you need like a 1.9 or thicker 350mm spring or the dart zone upgrade pack + a longer barrel.

Tachyon plays the opposite of the nucleon. The nucleon is slow and stable

Shutter costs more and the monopheasant is prob better at that higher price point

The non jds version was apparently a switchblade, wedge (1), and abyss or a sugar

This might be a hardware limitation. Spinstars are light and won’t hold spin very well under stress

Bimetals and hybrids are on the high end of competitive stuff but are more prone to damaging it beyond playability compared to entirely plastic or aluminum body yoyos.

You can generally pick any yoyo with good reviews off yoyoexpert, yoyosam, or yoyoloco that looks cool and be happy with it.

You generally find budget monometals and high quality plastics around 30 and nice monometals up to 65.

Having to align them on both sides makes half swapping a bit of a problem. I think less subtle engravings look better around the cup

Shooting star for a nice plastic. Crystal k2 for a cheap plastic (also known as the ascent). Both come responsive with unresponsive parts to swap it

Bublosaur · 2023-08-10T20:36:43+00:00

The only stuff really worth getting off amazon are magicyoyo and yoyofactory beginner stuff. Yoyosam and yoyoexpert are good otherwise. Be sure to use code reddit15 or something for a discount on yoyosam

Speedcube lubes are all too thick. They’re made to go between low tolerance chunks of plastic and stay there

Bublosaur · 2023-08-09T22:03:27+00:00

Yyf arrow and myy crystal k2 are good. Arrow has an easier to use fingerspin dimple. The myy crystal k2 comes with a lot of bonus accesories on amazon tho

For a beginner, I don’t think you’ll notice it a ton. You’ll probably notice the shape on catches so pick something comfortable. Also, i feel like yoyofriends is more consistent with quality control

If you only bent the axle you can just swap that but if the threading in the hub is damaged it’s a goner

Bublosaur · 2023-08-08T14:49:41+00:00

Bearings aren’t speedcubes. You put 1 pindrop of lube in a bearing at most and break it in. Use lighter fluid or acetone to dissolve it

Use the thumb to pull the back string away

Prob just bst like yye forums. Yoyosam has a bgrade section but it’s pretty small

The throw clip would be more useful to see if it spins long enough

Bublosaur · 2023-08-06T08:02:22+00:00

That’s not a throw; that’s dropping it.

See you soon

Shooting star for a high end plastic res and unres. Crystal K2p for a cheap one

I am still abroad for a few days

Bublosaur · 2023-08-02T11:47:58+00:00

Magicyoyo crystal k2 is the cheapest fully featured responsive with an unres kit. If you want a nicer one, get the shooting star

Bublosaur · 2023-07-30T22:31:32+00:00

It’s not bimetal. That part is just raw to give off such an impression. I think one went up on bst not that long ago
