D Bearing Throws?

General Yo-Yo
21

Oxygene (and Bist) and ILYY (with the only exceptions of the Saint-eel (@_void) which has a bearing D and recent models I think… after 2016, all C-size) have always used bearings of size L (which are nothing more than bearings of size C but with slightly varied dimensions because metric and not in inches).
Other models available both with C bearings and with D bearings … VsNYYC SkyWalker (opss! sorry @888alltheway only now Iseen your post!)

P.S. if I remember correctly, there are also very few specimens (from 3 to 6 pieces maximum) of Bear vs man with bearing D (maybe they were the Team edition ??? bho many years have passed now!)

Came here to mention the Fragment also.

And then there’s the YYR Uragment (basically another Fragment version), and the YYR CLASHcube, all D-bearing too.

I don’t rent any d bearing ones but they had a couple prototypes and test colors with size A.

Aside from the Saint Eel we made D-size bearing runs for the Rocket and the Enigma.

Thanks for the clarification I did not remember.
Many Bist models also had D-sizes

Thanks fam. List coming along nicely. Can anyone point out any that are currently “in production”. To clarify that I mean something like the Kun (out of stock at present, but restocking eventually), and NOT the Euphonious (which may still have a couple available, but will not be run again).

The production version of the hspin Gorylla also came with a D-size bearing.

I had the one of these: American Yo-Yo Association | YoYo Wiki | Fandom

The only thing I liked about it, was that I sold it for $400!!! I’d love to try something else with a D bearing.

So far I only have the Euphonious. Gonna grab a Kun if @AndreBoulay and @YoYoExpertGarrett ever get their act together and post the restock.

The Kun is definitely worth having.

I think the Kun might win out in a poll, but I play with the flea much more.

One more I can remember would be the Throw Down Shuriken mini made of carbon steel. :slight_smile:

Oof. Sounds deadly.

Carbon steel? I remember the model well but I remembered this thing.
Very particular choice, given the tendency it has to oxidize.
Actually, already from new it had a quite dark color … Very interesting!

there are crazy people around!
:joy:

Made the mistake of googling it. Ever see one for sale? Break it toe gentle.

It was coated in manganese phosphate (gunmetal).

@adamantiumpops there was only one run - maybe 150 pieces. I’ve seen some over the years. Sold mine a few years ago. Hard to find now over a decade after release.
