You’re playing around with your brand new yoyo.
Nice and sleek.
Perfectly balanced.
Totally smooth.
Handles every trick you throw at it.
Helps you hit that one really complicated trick that you could never complete.
It’s amazing.
You hold it lovingly in your hands, inspecting its every curve… but wait a minute. Hold up. Hang on. What is this?!
The lettering on the yoyo halves aren’t aligned. On this side it reads “Shutter” and on the other side there’s Gentry’s fancy, angular signature rotated 45 degrees from the correct axis.
Time to buy yoyos without lettering lol. I kind of assumed that they actually would be aligned more often than not, because why not?? I can push hard on the caps of my ONEstar to rotate and align the pattern on both halves, but can’t do that with the Shutter.
Agreed! I was just about to mention that companies don’t ano and engrave assembled yoyos. If they did, that would take a lot of time and would probably still not line up correctly in the long run once the consumer gets it and constantly screws and unsrews the yoyo, or replaces the axel or whatnot.
It really shouldn’t be a big deal since you should be playing your yoyo anyway… Unless your gonna display it, but still, you can only display one side at a time.
Or like someone said above, it’s time for you to start getting unengraved yoyos…
This kind of thing does not bother me while holding a yo-yo in my hands, I tend to just rotate the yo-yo around to the angle I want to look at it.
That’s what I like about taking photos for the Splash Game. I can find a precise angle that the yo-yo looks good to me, snap a photo, and see it that way whenever I want. I like looking at both cups at the same time too.
Engraving not aligned in a photo does peeve me a bit though. I can always re-do them though.
Personally I like putting my yoyo in that it looks great when its not in my hand. When it’s in my hand I throw it and it doesn’t really matter anymore.
Of course, any one drop with se can be perfectly aligned. On a similar note; left Twix is flowed on and right Twix is dipped. Why can’t they fix that too.
Yeah, was half seriously considering only getting One Drop yoyos in the future lol.
I seem to care about this issue a lot more than you guys on average; maybe it’s my OCD. Before any of you jump on me for appropriating and abusing a legitimate psychological disorder, I’ll make it clear that I do indeed have OCD. This alignment issue doesn’t give me any anxiety that I experience with my actual triggers, but it does have a mild effect on me that constitutes a slight annoyance.
