Finally got shims and silicon o ring for my Hitman

I finally bought shims and silicon o rings for my Yoyojam hitman since I didnt like the rubber o-ring response which made the yoyo very responsive. What I also noticed was that not only the spacers made the yoyo wider but it also made my yoyo sleep heck longer than i expected. The size is 0.6mm on each side and i tested various sizes from 0.35 to 0.75 and so far, for this type I preferred the most and bought it at Spingear in Nakano, Tokyo. 
 For the O rings, before I got this I was surviving with normal silicon made by general electric? (im assuming) at a store called Canadian Tire called "Silicone 2" as  a flush silicon response but since it only lasted for a month I decided to buy one for my yoyo instead of using this. To make things clear this product isnt bad it gives wonderful binds maybe too responsive at first but after a while good binds and has short lifespan. it was really cheap (2CAD about) and I used more than 5 and I havent used half of it yet. I hope to make my review of my hitman soon. :)

Hiroyuki Suzuki placed 2nd on Japan National 2011

I just saw the report of the Japan National yoyo contest 2011 and was shocked to see Hiroyuki Suzuki 2nd at the Finals. His 1A was awesome but I guess he made too much mistakes in his routine. I feel really bad for him since he was placed second on 2010 World Yoyo Contest and 3rd at Asia Pacific Yoyo Contest.

Vid of Johnnie Delvalle's 2003 performance


This is the link for Johnnie DelValle's 2003 Yoyo Contest Video. I was astonished how long todays yoyo spin. I even heard the world record is more than 20min. This is one reason I started yoyoing and own Yoyojam Hitman.

Yoyos I currently hold.


Compared to collectors who collect millions of various types of yoyos I have few yoyos that I currently use. I currently own a Yoyojam Speedmaker, Dark Magic, Hitman, Yoyofactory Dv888 and Protege. Im still new to this yoyo world and I still consider myself as a intermediate player (can do Yuuki Slack, Plan D, Hidamasa Hook etc). Im planning to do a review on each yoyo that I have in the future and also put some photos as reference.
