It also has great maneuverability at the same time, allowing it to go fast with little effort. This implies that it’s perfect for tech tricks with zippy movements. In addition, its high stability and long spin time makes it a good candidate for not only casual play but competitions as well. ![IMG_20250314_181738](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/6/9/5/695857cd74cc5e3480fa38f7df6e27c49cb9066a.jpeg) ![IMG_20250314_181309](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/3/b/0/3b0e23eaa7d1ae4d8f7d8a1a5a1536ac13ce05c6.jpeg) ![IMG_20250314_181147](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/3/4/c/34c114698a014ab195ca74c6c4fb52209342fdfd.jpeg) It has satisfying binds with pleasant ringing sounds and is super comfy in hand. ![IMG_20250314_182001](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/5/a/f/5af11bf46cd67ae14f7980a034b8e2ddea9a1333.jpeg) ![IMG_20250314_182023](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/f/2/8/f28441a69438fc3d1882f30006b4a55765d309cc.jpeg) ![IMG_20250314_182014](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/c/6/2/c62d65f54dd32e64bb8edc799073bf756e5b106e.jpeg) The string that comes with the yoyo feels nice but I’m no expert for strings. ![IMG_20250314_161156_edit_541623670864748](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/7/6/2/76206df2f495ece4cd054c4309785a2c449e0383.jpeg) ![IMG_20250314_161245_edit_541631816613185](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/6/8/f/68f5c9085661b3d9bbbfebc98767c90314d17744.jpeg) I like this yoyo.

Have you by any chance tried the Apathy and could you compare it if so? I had one of those and it was _almost_ good for me, but just slightly off. This seems very similar so I’m wondering if it would hit the mark more. ---

I have tried the Apathy before, but it was long ago, so I can’t remember the details. But I can confidently say that these two feel very similar. Good news is, an Apathy has been on the way to me (for almost a month), I’ll let you know when I get it ---

Thanks Kaede! Unfortunately I had the exact same issue with my Mount. Just tried to unscrew the EOS (you owe me 😤), it was pretty tight, but luckily didn’t cause any extra vibe, yaaaay ![IMG_20250314_212754_edit_552226847300631](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/9/9/a/99a77eab37b558e69ea79bf6f7b2ebc2127eef63.jpeg) ---

The EOS is slightly larger in diameter and width than the Apathy. It also has more stability and feels more hallow. On the other hand, the apathy feels more solid and can go faster. Both are great, it just depends on your personal preferences ---

I had that same feeling with the apathy. I wanted to like it but something was off about it. I feel like the EOS is more normal compared to it. ---

The EOS also feels better in the hand and has much smoother machining marks ---

Yeah, this yoyo seems very similar to the Apathy. That was the first yoyo that came up to my mind ---
