Hi, I would like to share with you an update to this little HTYY of mine. After a few days playing with this yoyo, I found the hubs are a bit too long and looks bulky, a reshaping is needed. After about an hour of work, my HT#0.29 has gained a new look.
Here’s the “before and after” photo:

The changes are not merely cosmetic, its weight (center weight, to be more precise) has reduced by 0.6g. And this actually has some positive effects on the play characteristic of this yoyo. Firstly, I feel that it hits the bottom of the string more lightly upon throwing down. Secondly, it is less prone to tilt. All in all, I am very glad I took the effort to reshape its hubs and now, IMO, my HT#0.29 looks and plays better.
