Has anyone here used both of these? Is there a notable difference between the two? I cannot seem to locate specs for the Diptych.

The Diptych is a very large diameter soft W shape yoyo.

The Sparrow is a small diameter organic yoyo.

Actually, I got mixed up! The 420 is the W… Whoops!

See? Why is the Diptych so mysterious? :thinking:

They don’t even have it archived in their site…

I heard somewhere that the diptych was inspired by the CLYW canvas, Jensen’s [2010?] signature model.

So maybe it is a canvas 2.0?

I have looked everywhere for a Diptych, and there is a Triptych in the works.

Correct, the Diptych is a larger Canvas, the Sparrow is a small Canvas. They play absolutely nothing alike, nor do they even feel similar. Both are really great.

@JWaugh Triptych? I am intrigued…

@AaronW so do you know what the specs of the diptych are?

Sorry I don’t have mine anymore. Maybe check [yoyonews.com](http://yoyonews.com), they posted about it when it came out.

The Triptych is an even larger version of the Diptych, not sure those have been prototyped yet.

No luck. The only things that they had were the promo video and the video that Tyler did by himself that is now deleted from the internet. They didn’t have any actual specs or anything available. And a-rt has not updated the history on their website either.

The specs have to be out there somewhere… I would just like to know

Found it. Notice the undercuts in the Diptych and Triptych.

Bingo🤓!

Specs / pics… I don’t have a Sparrow. The other 2 yo-yos are: Grail and 420

Diptych is the black/silver in the middle

Thanks for the pics and specs, @yoyodoc! Given all the data points, that theoretically looks like the model that I would like the most out of their lineup.

Maybe someday I can justify with a clear conscience actually hunting one down.
