Have a question. Is anybody or did anybody pick up that new Gentry Stein Olympus yo-yo? Apparently it took him about a year to create it and it has double metal and it sleeps for about 12 minutes. I found a video on it but it seems to be sold out everywhere
I was wondering if anybody got their hands on one and what you think about it. I want to add one competition yo-yo to my stack.
And it just won Nat’s, but the winner could have won it with the Ring Bearer. there is nothing undersized about it. It was only sold direct from Gentry’s website and since it sold so fast he claimed that there will be more to come
We’re totally not Yoyofactory guys, it’s a new company!
I have been wondering, even as a Gentry stan, if this new phase of giving players their own sites and branding is a direct result of the previous drama.
I’ve done a little research on the drama and I get it. There were some things that happened but me personally I don’t follow drama. I don’t deal with drama. I don’t watch news. I don’t watch TV. I don’t let anything bother me.
I’m really only here to buy good yo-yos that’s it. I was just kind of hoping that maybe somebody bought the Gentry Stein new design and how it is cuz it looks like a really unique design with double rings. He’s a great player no matter what happened and yo-yo factory. I like the way he plays.
If you want a similar yoyo that’s in stock right here, take a look at the Xenon Prime YoYo by Offset YoYo
Getting used to a really wide yoyo like this can take a little getting used to, but they’re very fun.
I should add that I’ve played with both but I don’t own either.
You should take any talk of spin time with a grain of salt because no yoyo is going to spin for 12 minutes unless you throw hard and then line it up perfectly and sit there watching it. And most modern yoyos easily get 8+ minutes, and it’s mostly due to throwing technique and bearing cleanliness.
