Initial thoughts so far. Zero has some vibe and certainly needs a thin string, but it is a lot of fun to play. It feels great in the hand. The mono’s finish makes my skin crawl, but I like the size and how it plays, especially while learning some 5a! I never would have thought I’d like an undersized throw, but now I’m thinking I may have to consider adding one to my collection eventually.
OK! It’s about time for me to send this on to @safetypin. In the end, I can say I’m not a big fan of the Zero. The more I played it, the less fun I had with it and the more frustrated I got. It’s probably because my skill level is low, but I couldn’t get keep the damn thing spinning.
Now the Mono, on the other hand, has been a blast to play. I’ve kept the counterweight on the string and have had an absolute blast playing this almost constantly throughout the day when I’ve had a chance. This is most certainly going on my list of throws to add to my collection.
USPS says it will be here Monday!
I had forgotten the PO was open yesterday, so I was able to drop it off sooner than I thought!
ooh im up next im excited
They were delivered this afternoon. The Mono is pretty responsive right now. Not sure if it’s due to the cold weather. I’ll check back in with it tomorrow morning. Is it cool if I deshield the bearing and soak it in some acetone? I’ll try putting another bearing in it tomorrow and try to make sure it’s the bearing.
I forgot to ask. What’s the counterweight that was in the box? I liked the feel of it, and want to snag one!

I need too send these on. I’m gonna do my best to get them in the mail today, but I’m quite busy and i’ll be out of town all of next week. Definitely enjoyed the Zero, but I didn’t end up doing much with the MoNo because of its responsiveness, and my business. Thanks for sharing!
The yos have landed in misery (Missouri). I threw the mono for a split second and I can already tell I like it more than the peak 2. I’ve never tried an og peak so I can’t speak on that but the mono is very good. It’s also not even the one I was excited about but I’m super impressed. The zero is the one I am really excited to try. I should hopefully get some time, somewhere over the next few days, to really put them both through their paces and report back my experience. Oh! And the counterweight that’s in here looks cool. I haven’t practiced a lot of 5a but I definitely want to try it out. Thanks @safetypin for shipping it to me and a big, huge, GIGANTIC thank you to @yoyojoe for letting everyone try these. I will have some fun with them and try to get them shipped on to @rafaismyname in a timely manner.
Hey folks!
I received the throws a couple of weeks ago from @Yodaddyo which I truly appreciate his constant communication.
Will be reaching out to @MaximShoots next!
Pictures and review coming soon
Package has arrived today.
Will be reaching out to @yoyojoe in a week.
Oh dang, didn’t realize we made it to the last person!
Quick thoughts;
mono: Fantastic, reminds me of the End II and other midschool inspired modern adaptations. Well executed and I enjoy it a good bit more than OG CLYW throws which its taking great inspiration from.
Grade: B
Zero: I threw it a couple times and put it back in the box. This is a skip from me. It’s an overall boring design in play from my perspective. Spin time was not all that much of an issue for me while it was on the lesser side, however it handled tricks I threw at it just fine.
Grade: C
On both I really enjoyed the coatings and overall design language and I look forward to seeing what else AT brings in the coming year
It’s funny you say the Mono reminds you of the End but not the other Anti-Yo Homage.
Just happened to be the one that popped into my mind. Any other mid school inspired modern throw would also fit the bill just fine in this case.
I definitely get some of those same feelings. I wish it had a little more weight to it. I’ve been tempted to look for some weight rings for the zero.
Some of those gravity PC rings would be stunning maybe @wayne927 can cook something up that pops in nicely out of TPU
What version of the mono is being passed around?
It looks regular version, Signature color(Silver x Space gray) and Smooth Ultimatte Coating.
