Yas! Just grabbed a nqp cheapest state to see if it lived up to the hype, and oh em gee… It exceed my expectations!!! Mine plays like this out of the box and I keep finding myself reaching for it throughout the day!
I did swap out the energy domes with micro flat caps. I tried some brass micro caps but I preferred the aluminum ones in it.
Also, how awesome is it that they dropped the hypno side effects for sale separately?! I grabbed a pair of those as well. I almost got the black cerakote version just for the caps, but I knew I would baby that yoyo and hesitate to take it out, which isn’t fair because this throw is a player!
“Just grabbed a nqp cheapest state to see if it lived up to the hype…”
Now there’s a laugh. “Cheapest State”… I am very amused. Mostly because I grabbed one, too. I mean, I like the splashes and fades and so forth but I wanted solid colour. What I really wanted was some saturated colours like dark blue, dark green, etc. but in the end it was a colour I could live with in a yoyo I love so now I have a spare.
Throw it in Good Health and any other little town you happen to be near.
That’s the method for Deepest imo. I don’t think about it deeper (lol) than that bc it does what I need it to in an utterly satisfying way.
Ultra, I’m using mostly Executive or Smoothie string. Fluff was a little unruly in it.
I reeeeeeally like how that black cerakote turned out. Feels and plays great. I need to bang it on some stuff bc I feel like a poser w it being so clean, but I’m not gonna ding it artificially lol. It’ll happen.
it’s been such a trip to have seen this develop and see it in the context of other “modern responsive” throws over the past 17 years or so since it developed as a counterpoint to the evolution of mainstream unresponsive. Feels like we really arrived at what we’ve been trying to do.
i almost pulled the trigger just now but i cannot justify $37 shipping americans count your days. if only i was lucky enough to have an accessible hobby…
A world with no borders would certainly be a beautiful thing would it not? Business and economy would boom like never before. There are certainly things I’ve wanted from abroad but alas, the shipping gave me pause.
There’s a chance they’ll still be available in a week, but probably not two. It’s a shame there aren’t any Canadian retailers that stock One Drop yoyos.
Been there! So many US sellers treat international postage like a firing squad.
This bodes well for using a narrow bearing. I was getting too much snag unless I used more shim than I wanted to. Getting rid of the Flow Groove’s slight protrusion into the gap might be all that’s needed to counter that. I’ll find out soon.
