I have a question for you… IF there were to be a DM3 :o , what features would you want it to have. Would you want alot changes, minor tweaks or just no DM3 in the first place?
What I would like is this: The only thing I really didn't like about the DM1 was the adjustable gap, you always have to test, then fix, then test again if it wasn't right, fix again, then test... until you get it to the degree of "responsiveness" you want. So what I would want is, the same stats as the DM1 (hybrid response,70g etc) minus the adjustable gap, so (as they did with the DM2) they would just send it with 2 bearings instead. So what would you want to change?
I personally love the DM2 as it is but I think they should do this: 68 grams, because some people like the new weight others like the old. They should add more metal on the rims. They should keep the thin and speed bearing, because I love that but I think the thin bearing is a little too thin personally. They should definately keep the silicone response, but should also send some o-rings with it because most beginners can’t silicone it and probably won’t buy a new yoyo for a while. I personally say keep the DM2, but for the community switch it up a tad.
I actually really like the DM more than the DM2. What I really didn’t like about it was the gap. A gap that big on that shape of a yoyo just didn’t work for me at all. If there is a DM3, I’d hope they either decrease the gap size, or make the hub sharper or something. Like on a Rockstar, where it’s just bearing, pad, then it tappers off.
I liked my dark magic way more than my dark magic 2, I ended up trading the version2 and kept my dark magic.
I say just do a run of the old dark magics, I definitly want more. Can’t get enough of my first unresponsive yoyo but I just don’t want the second version.
Man this thread is like swamp thing, old, mossy, slugged, and a pile of goo that pulls itself out of the swamp ever now and again. anyway. Glad you like your yoyos. Have fun! I have lots of one drops but have never thrown a dm or dm2. I might pick one up just for the heck of it since no one I know has one. They all own yyf’s. I feel like I’m missing out on history or something.
I don’t think making it delrin/aluminum would be a smart move anyways. Isn’t delrin more dense than polycarbonate? That would mean the weight distribution would end up being changed.
