Hummingbird was released in 2017, but it gained alot of recognition this year! Magpie is indeed released this year late August to early September. We will have our inner ring bimetal release in January most likely. :grin: My personal favorites of 2018 is the Smashing X Scales Float and the yoyofriends Magpie.

I recently saw someone describe the Cadence as a monometal Recess Charm and now I canā€™t stop thinking about that :thinking:

Theyā€™re both signature yoyos designed for the same individual at almost the same timeā€¦ similarities shouldnā€™t be too surprising? Basically two yoyos in the same prototyping series, even. One just ended earlier.

Yoyo of the year: Quail

That one is tough, since itā€™s basically the same as the ND Ultra, except in a different material. When I think best of the year, I think of new designs!

There are alot of other companies using bird names now so we decide to change direction to computer technology related names. :grin:

Thatā€™s true, but I noticed a slight change in the shape.

also the piece of metal around the fingerspin cup is bigger because 6061 canā€™t be as thin as 7068. Thatā€™s the additional 1~2 grams. The ND feels a bit more stable, but has less of the feathery feel of the Ultra.

Thatā€™s the perfect way to differentiate them. :ok_hand:t4:
