Also - Just a heads up to anyone purchasing one; The Bandalore edition seems to be slightly smaller in diameter. Couldn’t find any info about the size change posted from core co or bandalores, but admittedly I didn’t look all that hard. 😄 ---

Wow I’ve been throwing the bandalores edition for months and had no idea it was one of the slightly smaller “AlleyKittens”. Plays so great. ---

Is there any write up about the not-so obvious differences between the og and the 650b? I have an og and i like it a lot, makes me curious about what changed for the 650b. ---

Og is slightly bigger in diameter and way more angular with a bit more weight and a hair more gap. The 650b is more of a true modern responsive while the Og is more like playing a responsive Renegade. Way better moons, Stalls, regens on the 650 imo. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/f/3/5/f35cd90d9707fdb96d6a9972fead97a9cabb3d52.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/2/3/4/23447946ee8ed9ad927c617031e403113a7c6444.jpeg) ---

One more question! Does the 650b still have the sneaky 9mm pads under the 12mm pink pads? ---

Not much. I hadn’t even noticed lol. I like playing them the same for sure. In fact hadn’t noticed the difference lol. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/a/d/b/adb2b87cdfbf3bb6b139b8242278146a9ef613c9.jpeg) ---

One of my favorites, and my hardcoat is hands down in my desert island throw list. 650 isn’t better, just different. Love the 650’s just the same.
