First off let me say that this is by far the bougiest yoyo I own. Let me also say that titanium yos are worth every cent, at least if this one is any metric of titanium performance.

The Delphinium is a member of the Crash family of yoyos and lives up to that expectation. Plays powerfully, having the stability of a good bimetal with none of that rim-weighting feel.

Grade: A+ (also because titanium makes super fun noises)

Does this feel slower than the atomic crash? It looks like they added an extra gram so I’ve been curious.

I haven’t played the atomic crash but I can say for sure that it plays slower than the Hydrogen Crash. Still overall pretty fast, only marginally slower.
