This is a risky, risky business to get into.. I recommend sticking to solids, I don’t know that I’ve ever seen a really good half-swapped splash.. well, I take that back.. let me see.. I did one .. I can’t find a pic of it, but it was black-rainbow splash swapped with silver-rainbow splash. So a black white really.
My eyes! The GOGGLES THEY DO NOTHING!!

I agree, unless they are something like a reverse of colors, then often just look bad. MFD has done a few that just swapped colors like black yoyo w/ yellow splash and yellow yoyo w/ black splash for Halloween that were pretty cool, but it’s a rarity.
Half-Swap splashes can certainly be difficult. I really kind of liked the half-swap Boosted Rainier though at least! That was admittedly a subtle / non-contrasting splash though.
You’re welcome! 
It’s like the Joey Trifle quote from Friends, “What’s not to like?! Custard, good. Jam, good. Meat, good!”

Spyy had some cool splash half swaps - the Stryker and Spyder 2 (in which I own both of) where the other half was the inverse. Now imagining an inverse clear/blue splash with the Spacious Skies blue/clear splash 
Obligatory “family photo” - it’s precursors are definitely something special - got me through some rough times (DS just before the pandemic, had some rough moments last year when the Deeper arrived) . The Deepest will continue that as I know we aren’t done yet with whatever is going on in this crazy world.

Can you report on the Grease Bucket after you use it for a bit?

A modest description for what he did to be sure.
What he did was make something awesome more so! I will tell you id sooner part with some of the other DS than that halfswap. Butter smooth with a seriously tight response, If you have a DS laying around, and thought to yourself, “You know what I need? A inertia defying, monster-momentum powered, palm punchin’ pack of pickled YoYo?
Steve’s your guy.

@da5id @codinghorror absolutely perfect! deep and deeper were too slim for my taste. @Slestak75 was a champ and cut a set of se for me so i could play my pano with a slim c. as awesome as pano is for unresp., i always wished for resp. that it were a tad narrower and lighter. deepest is in the butter zone!
