I’ve started to get into the Ti. I do like the Titanic a lot. Metavity, very much enjoying Project Ti as well… but i picked up Ti Krown over the new year and i have to say that guy is on a whole other level. WOW!
Here’s my Ti collection cause this seems like the right place to post it.
Having played multiple ti now I think I can safely say ti organics like the Bowl and 000 will probably never be on any of my lists as a favorite. They have a very unique and distinctly titanium feel with how thin the walls are, but it’s not a feel I even prefer over organics in other materials. I’d much rather have a performance oriented ti yoyo using the material for something more practical than just being a very thin walled organic.
My favorite on my list right now would be a JT Fossil and even then, it’s not even a favorite monometal for me. It feels like an incredibly well optimized performance driven monometal, but something about it just didn’t totally mesh with me. Still really wanting to try a Bros some day.
My favorite style is 0A style not many titanium options for me but love my ti confusion hopefully someday I can get a silver bullet or preferably a yweti mk11
I loved my Tivayder but did not use it enough and sold it unfortunately so someone else could give it the love it deserves. As far as a plus 1 I champion the tiramisu. It’s amazing. But @Ian_Bender recently got a tiramisu and was not a fan. So do with that what you will. If the tiramisu was not something I had I would say the mustang would be my +1.
Thank you, it most definetly tells me personal preference is everything and ones choice should be tailored by ones self. Which sucks because I can’t try everything, lol.
Fo now, the TiVayder is scratching the itch thankfully. If I had to take a wild shot in the dark at what might suite me, it would be the titanium 888
Very nice Ti-Collection. I agree with your comments on the Ti Krown. It is a most unique Ti yo-yo. It has all the performance of the best Ti out there; but with a light, float that is not usually found in most Ti. I love mine too.
I think the Ti-Vayder is one of the best Ti out there. When evaluated as (performance * enjoyment)/$cost, the Ti-Vayder is unbeatable.
Only one of Codinghorror’s great contributions to the yo-yo community.
The titanic was the second Ti i bought after the Vayder. They both play very biffrent cause the shapes are extremely diffrent. I started to apreciate the Titanium as a material. A well designed Ti has a unique and elite feel. I believe Titanium is stronger heavier and more denser which allows for extreme design features that are beyond my understanding.
The Titanic is one of the best hard core H shapes i own. I love the H. It’s stable and powerful.
The Ti krown is a V shape, very competitive in nature, more power then i know what to do with. Spins for days. And costs almost 2x as much as the titanic. The krown feels like a luxury race car and i need driving lessons.
My advice is buy the Titanium shapes you prefer.
Out all my Ti these are my favorites. However favorites to play doesn’t necessarily equal performance, even though I do like and enjoy all of my performance Ti-s
Luftverk/ CLYW raw Ti Peak
RSO / Anti-Yo YWETi SE Mk1
Duncan Freehand Ti
And I also like my Slimline Ti-s as they are just a fun challenge and fit nicely in the pocket.
