Thread: sockets make good cw's

i used some sockets, and i found that they make pretty good counterweights... has anyone else tried this? i am planning on getting some plastikote, and puting spraying it on it too, so it doesnt ding my yo.. i dont know if everyone will like them, because they are heavy, but i like a heavy counterweight

sockets?

yeah.. i use 1/2 size, it works pretty good

Looks heavy, slow, awkward, dangerous, and just inefficient, imo
Also looks like it will own your yoyo more than a regular cw...

Ill stick with my dice, thanks.

Yeah, that seems way heavy, heavier than some plastics mebe?

yeah, it is quite heavy, but i like them heavier... and i covered it in old string, so it doesnt mess up my yo until i get the plasticote stuff that makes the surface rubberier

Thanks.

i think i'll be sticking with the dice also. They're a nice balance between size and weight. A metal CW is just asking for dings and pain

theonly drawback I see is collisions with the counterweight.

But the plus size is you can find the perfect weight you want. Also easy attaching to the string.

i put string around the cw, to help with collisions.. next time i go to walmart i am gonna get the rubbery plastikote stuff, to spray on it and it will make it rubbery
