I don’t know what sort of space magic or blood pact Ross did to get me this many bearings for 60 bucks (I received 20 bearings- all Dif-E-Yos!). As he promised, they were the smoothest ones I’ve ever played.
The Mouse Pads are awesome, too! Grippy, but not excessively so.
In short, if you don’t buy this kit, you are seriously missing out. Support this dude.
I got a kit from Hollywood modern yoyo’s, It came with 15 bearings. All the bearings were in great condition and increased spin time on my throws. Definitely worth it .
Not sure where you got the deluxe kit with the Dif-E-Yo bearings, will have to check again for that kit
The cool part is that you get access to tutorials from @Modern_yoyos .
To be frank 10 of them came unpackaged but they were all Dif-E-Yo. I included a pic of it on my IG sotry and tagged him in it so if he made a packaging mistake I’d be more than happy to give the spares back to him. Something felt non-standard about it but since it worked out in my favor I like it.
Edit: The c-tracks just looked like Dif-E-Yos to me until closer inspection. I still got 10 Dif-E-Yos instead of 5.
To get really nerdy, I thought I heard on the Kill Your Yoyo podcast that all the bearings are licensed Dif-e-yo bearings. But maybe it’s just the concave ones that are and the center-track aren’t patented or licensed. Either way, I’m sure all the bearings are highest quality and none are more deluxe than the others they sell.
I’m not gonna lie, when I stumbled across that page awhile back I thought it was biggest scam and/or too good to be true lol. Now that I know it’s legit and the parts are quality I think I just may have to do this. My only other question is are the bearings somewhat quiet? I hate loud bearings man I’m sorry, I’d rather the throw be quiet than have more spin time
Yes, on the website it says " Peace of Mind: All Center Trac and Concave bearings are used with permission of YoyoFactory and Dif-E-Yo. I had to pay them (a lot) to include this bullet point."
That’s what I like to hear (or not hear in this case). I have some old bearings that could use replacing or are just naturally loud no matter how many times you clean and lube them
FYI, I received a phishing call purportedly from my bank on my phone minutes after I placed my order. It stated that the transaction had been flagged by security. I went to the bank site directly and the transaction appeared to go through but it is still pending. I’ll follow up with further details. I do hope this is legit.
Ross is legit for sure, I know him IRL. Unfortunately his web design just looks a little… scammy… lmao
And yeah, that’s the only thing that’s stopping me haha… DS is ALL I can use, I’ve replaced all the bearings of the yoyos in my main case with em. They’re just too good, and I’ve tried EVERYTHING.
Ross is legit. He is the owner of Ilinx toys (now Hollywood Modern Yoyo) and has the ‘Kill Your Yoyo’ podcast where he interviews people like Patrick Dressel, Hunter Feuerstein, Erik Koloski, Doc Popular and Brandon Vu.
On his post he talks about how he recently had to make his website again after another brand told him he couldn’t keep his branding of Helix Throws. This is probably why the website looks unrefined, he needed to start over again.
Lollll, yep I definitely threw in some extra bearings which like, if anyone else orders from me don’t expect that but it may happen from time to time. Also planning on sponsoring nationals so if you want to support you can catch me and the team there Now, I need to get a mod to help me change my yoyoexpert name…
