I posted in this section because this is not really a review or a recommendation. It is more of an observation that a few folks might find interesting.
So… The other day I got an order from YYE.
A Knight and some Monkey vines and a Hideyoshi and several Cloud strings. Mmmmh? What first?
So I put a Monkeyfinger Vine on the Hideyoshi. Excellent string and the Sengoku Hideyoshi is a Blast!
Just like the description said; it feels different than anything else on the market. It does. And I have a whole lotta yoyos, lol. It’s light but solid. It’s floaty(you don’t hear me say that word very often) but stable.
You throw it hard and straight and it has a Power you just have to experience. I cannot throw it without smiling.
But the real amazing moment was still in the box and Baggie.
Since I had two items left I decided to match em up and see what would happen?
The 2Sick Knight and a Cloud string. The Knight is beautiful… Period. Joey hasn’t released a bad yoyo. But this is a Badd yoyo in the Best possible ways. It Shocked me.
But it gets better. The Cloud string is thin and would real tight. I usually pre stretch strings. I don’t kill all the spring. But I give a good stretch or two before I cut to length.
The Cloud string just keep stretching, lol. Almost like it is elastic. So… I gave it a few good pulls and put it on the yoyo. Didn’t seem very promising. A bungie cord yoyo string, haha, boing!
I would not have bet a penny that I would like a rubber band-ish string effect.
Seriously dead wrong. I don’t think I have Ever had so much fun throwing a yoyo. Probably good chemistry to have put the Cloud on the Knight. I mean whatever string you end up using; if you start with a Great yoyo, that is heading in the right direction, right?
But the string is Simply Nuts! Everybody that home knows how much better they play when they are asleep and dreaming, hahaha.
But this was different because I wasn’t dreaming. The bounce in the string makes the yoyo feel like it doesn’t even hit the bottom of the string. So ‘Cloud’ was a pretty slick name for the string.
The elastic effect actually make the tricks seem more interactive. The way a ball moves around in a pinball machine. The yoyo seems ‘more alive’. It literally turns the yoyo into a slightly bouncing ball.
When Garrett told me the strings were $4 each, I was like, ‘what can a string do for 4 bucks’?
Well, I have certainly found out.
That string is the Most yoyo related fun I have had in 17 years.
It is Awesome!
I am not saying it replaces all other strings or that it is for every day use on every yoyo you have.
But on those days when you feel good and you are hitting your tricks and you just feel like Blazing away and playing Fast; put a Cloud string in motion and crank it up.
Merry Christmas to me.
The end.
