Seems Aoda came up with the Miracle, which it seems YYF licensed with minor changes. But I won’t dig into the dozens of bits of information I have that support this.
To me, they feel the same, play the same, act the same, and as far as I am concerned, are the same. For me, it makes no sense to pay a premium when I already got the same performance for a fraction of the cost.
So there. I’ve played both. My statements tend to come with some amount of experience to back it up.
That explains the price difference.
But being something more of a novelty item, wouldn’t it be more appropriate to have them manufactured in the USA? I’m aware that quality have less to do with manufacture location than QC standards, but I’m sure people would feel more confident showing off if it is branded “Made in the USA”.
It’s not like anybody is actually gonna use such a silly looking yoyo for serious competition…
We released the MONSTER at the same time for those who felt the same as you. Unfortunately there was very little demand for this which, in the long run, may reduce our ability to continue to offer choices like this in the future. Lots of people talk about supporting USA manufacturing but when given the option act very differently to how they talk.
