O please.
Iām almost certainly in for the H and the V.
In response to those calling these a great first metal, it almost certainly will be; however I think that it will be much more than that. I personally want them because I value high quality/performance yoyos that Iām not afraid to play, and bang up. My favorite yoyoās are the ones that are solid colors and not special editions because I donāt mind tossing them in a pocket or in my bag and taking them with me when I do stuff.
These offer a great bang for the buck, made in USA side effect yoyo that is priced low enough that I feel comfortable taking it with me everywhere. Plus they have that wonderful finish. Seriously its like the Guys at One Drop have Paul out catching fairies to grind up and toss in the Pyramatte process.
I realize Iām preaching to the choir here, I just donāt think these should be viewed as just first metals which some people seem to be tagging them as already. To me they represent everyday metals.

I never thought of that. There is one thing that I disagree on and thatās not worrying about getting it dinged. Donāt get me wrong I donāt mind dings but when they are at a limited quantity I would be a little more careful. Maybe I would feel different if I got two of the ones I think I would carry the most.
Iām planning to get all three. What I like is āsame specs, different shape/weight distributionsā. This shows that specs alone are fairly trivial in the bigger picture of things when discussing yoyos. Dimensions and weight only tell a physical story that is not very descriptive.
Even if these are value-oriented, I still think they look amazing. I canāt wait to be able to acquire a set. At this price, I could get a set for my kid too.

I second that!
Iām not talking about yoyos to be careless with, but just ones that its not the end of the world to see get used and not worried about. Like my 28 stories avalanche isnāt going out to the bar when I hangout with my friends, but my Superstar or maybe these benchmarks-- sure. The reason Iām seeing these benchmarks that way is the lower price, the lack of ācollectibleā colorways and the lack of laser engraving. To me these seem like bare bones performance players. They got everything I need, nothing I donāt and beg to come everywhere.
Iām also excited about the same specs different shape, I think its a really cool take on these.
I agree wholeheartedly, I have a Kojo Supernova I barely touch because I donāt want to ding it. These yoyos are value performance yoyos and I just might pick up 2 sets just because they are cheap.
This feels like a lot more like a statement than a real yoyo-set. Either way, Iām buying all three of these ASAP.
Great concept! One drop rocks.
I want the ones on the right or left those 2 yoyos look amazing!
Neat idea. The only Side Effects yoyo I own is a Bapezilla so Iām not exactly on that train, but Iām a huge fan of minimalism and this seems to be a idealogical return to the original Project, which is still my favorite One Drop Iāve ever thrown.
All three on my wishlist. thank goodness I have a job interview on mondayā¦
That certainly explains your yoyo designs. Iām not saying thatās a negative. Iāve noticed with like the Roll Model and DieNasty, it just seemed to be āonly what you need, nothing moreā. Despite this, they are still great yoyos that I really enjoy.
I do like minimalism whenever possible. I think with so many companies trying to go with yoyos that are not just great performers but are also visually more engaging, I think this return to āonly what you needā mentality will be a refreshing change or step back.
All yoyo companies ( clyw ) cough coughā¦ Should take notes and do something like this
Not sure if thatās clywās styleā¦
Hey so I did some more research and found t was a yoyojoker yoyo called the stratosmirage
I thought you had a 54 too, if I remember correctly it was your review of the 54 that influenced my purchase.
You can interchange any yo-yo halves, provided they have the same bearing size and axle size. The primary effect of differently weighted halves is precession.
Looks awesome! Canāt wait to get one.
You mean like the Campfire and Bonfire? Wasnāt the whole point of both those models to be well below $100?
