So is anyone getting one? I was thinking about it, but when I saw that it was $50 I thought “no way!” Plus, I’ve already ordered a No-Jive Optic Star, and those ship May first. Anyways, is anyone else interested in the EH?
Well…because it has sharper engraving, is heavier than the last, and marked with 2013 to differentiate from the prior run, it was worth it to me for collection purposes. I snagged one.
Box of mostly wood on the way to me. EH, Fremont, Irving Pro, and a solid red Classic just to mix it up. Oh, and a 100-count of YYE Type 10 100% cotton string.
theroybit and I are gonna go through this string pretty fast!
I have two of the old version, two of the new version. I weighed them all on a calibrated scale, with no string…curious what the difference would be. The new version is advertised to be more dense wood, heavier, and darker engraving.
Original version #1, weighed 48.30g
Original version #2, weighed 49.26g
2013 version #1, weighed 52.35
2013 version #2, weighed 53.60
So, the spectrum of them are 48.30 to 53.60. Also, if you look at the photos of them stacked…the two on the bottom look different than the two on the top. I guess it’s the “dense wood” thing.
People were saying how much better the new run is, so yyfben said the new ones have bearings and are plastic. Kind of defeats the purpose of having a fixed axle wood yoyo.
I want one but don’t have the money:/ my grandpas just going to make me a couple wood throws on his lathe this weekend hopefully I can get money for this in the future!
