Iām really looking forward to it - I was a bit sceptical about all the One Drop hype before, but now I get it.
Iāve also got another Kuntosh 5000QV (different colourway), OG Kuntosh and a Parlay on the wayā¦ I guess my days of buying cheap throws are over

Haha depends who youāre asking.
I think some might argue the throws you and I are buying are still considered cheap throws

One Drop only makes monometals, and their monometals are anything but cheap (inexpensive).

True. If youāve got the cash you can get a bit carried away with titanium

I have to admit, I still really like a few of my cheap yoyos though - the MYY V4, Auldey Orbis and TopYo Silenus spring to mind. They may not have the premium feel of the Kuntosh, but the price to performance ratio is outstanding.

Agreed! I do love some of my more premium (well $100 yoyos) throws but I equally love cheaper ones too for different reasons. 
Fortunately this hobby isnāt just about how much money you have 
and there is nothing stopping anyone from enjoying the hobby no matter what your budget is

Yeah, I guess for someone who isnāt into throwing, $100 for a round piece of metal with a string attached would seem pretty ridiculous

Does anyone have a smooth art throw? Just got my second throw from art and I would say the smoothness is 7/10 and the first one was 8/10. I tried flipping the axles, replacing the bearing, and resiliconing and nothing seems to help.

The A-grade Grails Iāve owned all have a little fingernail vibe. I would say 9.5/10 smooth. Even the B-grade Triptych I had was 8.5/10 smooth.
I recently half swapped two Grails and both became near dead smooth. Go figure.
7/10 sounds not smooth enough.

Yeah just picked up one someone said had a hint of vibe and I would put it at 7/10 maybe 7.5. Both informed me they were A grades.

Iāve never played a perfectly smooth A-RT. I think it has something with the bearing seat being more loose. Ironically, the smoothest A-RT Iāve played was dinged and scuffed pretty bad.

Iāve been living my life a lie, Iāve been using light theme all this time. Now Iām gonna have to go get eye surgery because I didnāt know about dark mode (rip eyeballs).

Then there is the point where you stop learning for a while, and smooth out what you know, basically your core. I am aware of a professional musician and teacher who suggested this.
I prefer this to learning new things, but new things happen in the smoothing out stage.
