If you look at the clear replay and compare to a colored replay. The color replay has a cap on it on the outside. The clear replay looks like they are made of solid plastic, no caps. I could be wrong though.
I remember when the Replay released, Gentry said he was going to use it at Nationals then. So heâs been planning on using it at Nationals for a long time.
I like the whole âtook it out of the box a little while before the performance, and just put a new string on it.â Proves itâs a lot more than the equipment. ;D
i think theyâre all the same. Ones just clear plastic. Seems like its the same thickness.
Yeah, clear replays have the same caps, theyâre just clear.
Iâll have to take a closer look at mine. Because it does seem like the clear doesnât have caps on em. I guess I am just crazy
TA youâve single handedly convinced me to buy a Replay. I have a manly pink one en route. Manly. ;D
Most definitely manly!
Yes!
I love my manly pink throws
Yasss!
I feel like if everyone who was a world-class competitor competed at nationals then the contest would be way better. Neither Miggy nor Tyler competed in 5A, and Gentry winning by so much is a bit of a shame. I know that there are better people in the US; and more importantly I know that there are more people in the US. Some of the divisions had very few people in finals and that always gets under my skin.
Now, before people freak because âOwen thinks the people at nationals werenât good,â I donât think that. I just think that: A, the seed from regional contests should go to semiâs and then it should go from there thus making finals a bit more competitive; and B, that more people should compete. If more high class competitors were at it for the crown itâd be sweet. Thereâs not really a remedy for this besides better prizes. Give top three all cash and no yo-yoâs. They donât need yo-yoâs.
I know contests are getting better in quality, now I just wish the quantity of competitors would increase.
Would somebody post the video of Gentryâs performance. I never got to see it. 
Perhaps this has been discussed elsewhere, but I also wonder how moving Nationals to some other time of year might help. This year it was only, what, 5-6 weeks after Worlds? Zach Gormley, who we know would have been in contention, mentioned he didnât compete because he didnât have time to practice a routine due to school. Not sure if having more time in-between Worlds and Nats would remedy that, but could be considered. Also, just in terms of keeping up interest year round, I wonder how late Fall/early Winter would work for Nats, leaving late Winter, Spring and Summer for regional and state comps.
Other than past practice, is there a reason Nats is always held in early Fall, within a month or two of Worlds?
After further inspection. You are both right and I am just crazy. lol Guess I was just hoping for one that was full plastic and didnât have caps. Crazy me. I know.
i agree. Wish it were solid. Or better yet, wish it didnât have a cap and was a nice dome.
Lets just keep on track with the op. weâve got our sleep. No need to continue the argument.
Did anyone mention if footage of the comp was put up yet?
Footage is on yoyonews
Am I the only one who doesnât like the replay?
Iâm more of a yoyojam Classic person as far as cheap plastics go.
TA - I saw gentrys routine and it just wasnât for me. i mean it was very clean and all, I just donât like his stage presence and didnât think his routine was amazing. I really enjoyed Evans how ever. Pretty creative and fun to watch.
Iâm not a judge and donât know how to score it. All I know is that it didnât wow me. But props for him and his accomplishments.
Also find it funny how I was comparing earlier to bboying. Evan had some illy floor rock.
Thatâs so cool! I have a pink coming too, so weâll have twins. ;D
I think YoyoFactoryâs best all plastic yo-yo is Regen. Yet, nothing can beat Replay Pro for the price. It has the price, heft, solid, stable, comfy shape, and so many cool colors to choose from.
