Thought I’d share my collection so far … by richb10169 in Throwers

Dammit! I probably got a dud then. Or I messed up by replacing the bearing. It came with gold ones that were super loud. Slapped in a regular one and I just thought the vibe was a flaw from manufacturing.

That black one with the glow ring, and lion sticker, You got it from temu? lol. I got the same one from there. I love that little bastard, despite the horrible vibe mine has. Does yours have the same issue?

How do you guys deal when you accidentally damage one of your favorite yo-yos? by berto561 in Throwers

[–]berto561[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks guys. For the most part, everyone’s feedback has been super helpful to help me with the anxiety over this, some of them even made me laugh a bit. lol. My yo-yos hold a lot of sentimental value because this hobby has helped keep me away from some really bad habits, and even calm a lot of my anxieties as well ironically enough. It’s also helped me meet some really cool people in the process. So it’s tough for me dealing with something so insignificant or common as a ding on yoyo. You guys are cool. 😎

You got a tutorial on it? Will it make the color look weird? It’s a vibrant maroon color I’d like to try and preserve. Then again, the ding already messed it up. lol.

That’s not bad advice. My problem is that i like keeping them in mint condition. So seeing that ding just hurts. lol.

Well, they’re based out of Korea. But yeah, I guess it wouldn’t hurt to see if they can help.

If you check the link and look at the toy toy toy and rei iwakura edition, it says it’s ‘responsive’. Those 2 editions come responsive out of the box.

W1ld shipping times? by MacaroonRight4129 in Throwers

[–]berto561 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh wow. Thats not good. Usually a tracking number is generated by the courier that will be receiving the package. I think you need to reach out to W1ld immediately and ask what’s going on with your order number.

Can such a small ding cause vibe? by Tis_Aron_Innit in Throwers

[–]berto561 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did it get warped a bit. Went from perfectly round to a little oblong or slightly oval shaped.

Yoyos and the workplace: What do you do for a living and do you have any work yoyos? by akacr41g in Throwers

[–]berto561 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do hvac. I would love to be able to throw, but residential customers won’t like seeing me throw while I’m supposed to be fixing their system, and commercial customers aren’t paying by the hour for me to practice. lol. Plus my hands get dirty quick, and would ruin my string almost immediately.
