@Glenacius_K @Astralis @vegabomb Nice. It’s cool to know that it plays well. I wonder why this particular model was not developed further.

high performance, durabile, inexpensive
You can choose two but not three.
Replay was inexpensive and high performance. Problem was people treated them like a $10 yoyo not a $100 yoyo so when they got beaten up they lost precision and performance.
New replay traded some performance and price… a better balance.
The design for the original replay lived on but was never released in the same shape. Check out the Hyper StarFly and Hyper Astrofly by Bandai.

I heard that one of the replays had some design cues from the Avant Garde, right?

Negative spaces on the inside of the yoyo had been done for a long time. Skf in the 60s even 70s duncans. Not really new. Avant grade was kinda done a different way and it wasn’t a first either.
