I have 8 of the 50/50 yoyos left. 3 A grades and 5 B grades. If you are interested, DM me and I will respond tomorrow on a first come first serve basis. Thank you all for the amazing support! It has been a mind boggling day to say the least. All orders placed before 12pm est Saturday will go out tomorrow. Thank you again!
HUGE props to another successful drop to one of our up-and-comers!
WE ARE SOLD OUT! Its been a crazy ride to say the least. Thank you everyone for your support! All orders will be going in the mail today!!
All tracking numbers should have been sent. Tuesday/Wednesday seems to be the days theyāll arrive in the US, and a couple weeks later for my international friends DM me if you didnāt get tracking and ill get it to you today
Surprisingly, the post office workers were very helpful, despite our packages taking over a half hour of their time to get them all out
"Well it has arrived! Donāt have a ton of time with it on string yet but Iāll share initial thoughts with you. Well ill start with the appearance, my oh my! That purple is a stunning color, it gives the yoyo an elegant look. The engraving is clear and clean, gets the point across but isnāt overly loud.
In hand the first thing I could think is just how light this thing feels. There is a slight tackiness to the finish that I wasnāt sure about, but after a few minutes it became a non factor. Tired to grind second throw because of that tackiness and color me impressed the thing sat on my finger for what felt like a good 30 seconds with no issues.
So the other thing I identified as a potential issue is the undercut, it almost looks like it could snag the string on first inspection. After many attempts to create an issue with the undercut I can very strongly say that not only does it not snag, but when trying to snag it the cut pops the string very nicely center.
As for play it feels great. The yoyo has a very nice weight in play that really allows it move quickly. Kind of a common theme most organics suffer from is the slight sluggishness in speed combos, however the 50/50 just zips along. The width of the yoyo makes tech tricks very simple to hit. Keep in mind I am not a professional by any means, so by no means can I say Iāve pushed it to any limits, however it can easily handle everything I threw at it.
I didnāt do any horizontal to be completely honest, 2 reasons for that. First is Iām not yet awake enough to say I wonāt hit myself in the face, and secondly I honestly donāt care how the 50/50 is at it. I am not good enough at horizontal with yoyos that excel at it, so Iāll leave horizontal opinion to those that are better than I.
The 50/50 just hits on so many intangible levels for me. The weight in hand I keep coming back to that, just feels so good. Every catch is smooth and soft even on a couple early binds that it did. Close by the only thing I had similar in shape was a quibit and it is a night and day difference. The quibit is a pain to throw i find, its weight distribution gives it a much smaller sweet spot to have a smooth throw that doesnāt wobble like a weeble. The 50/50 is smooth every throw, even some intentionally bad throws it spun smooth and was able to be recovered quite easily.
So far what I for sure can say is you should be very proud of this yoyo. It is a more niche style throw that delivers a performance level I will truthfully say I didnāt expect. Appearance is top notch, that color in person is just so visually appealing. I tired to exploit things I saw as potential flaws and failed so kudos to you for design testing!
Oh the story of the yoyo, I loved having that included in the box! And extra pads, my favorite box add on by far that no one seems to do!
In closing, because I can get a bit long winded in the morning, I am very happy to add this 50/50 to my collection."
I was going to edit and condense this but I got lazy soā¦
You remember Weebles? Weebles wobble but they donāt fall down! I guess we are close in ageā¦
Love hearing this! Thank you so much!
Majority of maildays should start coming in tomorrow Wednesday and Thursday! I know its Thanksgiving week but if you all have time take a picture and share your thoughts with me!
Hey guys, the 50/50 run did a lot better then I expected (we sold out in less than a day, which is ridiculous to me) so hereās a quick poll, would you like to see another run of the 50/50? IT WILL NOT BE EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE FIRST RUN! So if you are somebody who bought it because of the exclusivity, do not worry, there will be a big enough change to separate the first run from a proposed second run. Heres the link to vote, thanks! -Patrick
nice breakdown @lumanasty
Any chance youād ever make more in green?
Regardless my vote very much goes to [YES]!!
A lot of people wanted that proto green color. Its definitely a strong contender for the production colorway if another run happens.
Thereās also run size to think about too. 50 again or if we level up to 100 100 we could do 2 or 3 colors.
OH!
2 or 3 shades of green sounds like a great plan!!!
fair enough.
Firstly, congrats on a great drop/manu/design
I was hoping that the proto deep green would make an appearance for the second run.
Been following the production through the forum. Been great inspiration and entertainment.
Good luck and thank you dude.
Thanks man!
My 2 front runners now are the proto green and a black and white fade.
Just color/engraving changes or are you making changes to the physical design? Assuming the former but recent releases like the Memento actually changed design elements prior to second run so thought I would ask.
Wow. Awesome man. CONGRATS
Both! Iād like to keep the engraving the same, but different colors are definitely going to happen. Right now im between the prototype green and a black and white fade. Maybe we can do 100 and do both? Haha. The change to the design wonāt impact the soul/feel of the yoyo, but itāll be bigger than a gap width change.
