Yoyo looks really dope.
I have zero interest in most new yoyos, this is the only one I’ve seen that I think I would buy, its different, and really cool. Like 3 years ago I thought of an idea like this lol, shoulda done it! I also thought of peanutbutter and jelly in the same jar when I was 3, then I found it at the grocery store and almost cried. I gotta start making moves on my ideas! haha
Hey Guys,
The EPIC with TA-Ta technology!.. So what makes it special. When nick and I designed this yoyo we were looking for a solid stack player directed at that style of play. With most stacks your string can get stuck in the stacks which is a big problem and the catch area is too small. So we tweaked the caps to addresses both of these issues, their is no area for the string to get behind the cap and the catch area is smooth and concave for ease of catching.
To attach the stacks we went with a button head screw. We went with this style instead of the Oring because when you pinch a yoyo with Orings they flatten out a little and act like a break to slow the yoyo down. We have found with the With the metal on metal system set up we have there is less friction caused and therefore longer spins on the Stacks while pinched. Also we have noticed that the Orings were slowly rotting over time and we felt that the button head would last. Lastly there is still a post connected to the body for maximum strength and less flex.
And Best of all machined metal TA-Tas acid anodized in badas… colors.
Bottom line The EPIC is a great player that will expand your style of play.

Hi Guys,
I had some people ask about how to take care of TA-Tas, and I felt it was an important question that needed to be delved into.
First off TA-Tas are the heart and soul of life. They are what make things Epic and they are what gives the EPIC its unique feel!
Please treat the TA-Tas nicely!..
Second TA-Tas and their bearings are not meant to be separated, The bearings are designed to stay in the TA-Tas, and really who wouldn’t want to stay right there.
To have the best possible TA-Ta experience you will want to break in your bearing.
To break in TA-Ta bearings - Rip start a lot!
Since each TA-Ta has a bearing in it, one side will always spin at a different speed than the other.
The way to make the bearings work the best is to put a drop of lube on your TA-Ta bearings, then do lots of rip starts until the bearing is broken in. The Lube helps the bearing spin smooth and it helps prevent the bearing from getting overly loud.
Lube Your TA-Ta’s Bearings (You shouldn’t need to do this to much when they are new)…
You can change the bearing, it is just not very easy(and not recommended). You always need to be gentle with Ta-Tas.
The procedure to change the bearings in TA-Tas;
1st place TA-Ta on a large socket to support the rim of the TA-Ta as close to the middle as you can.
2nd firmly grasp Ta-ta while using a nail set and punch out the TA-Ta bearing through the hole in the middle.
3rd put new bearing on a hard surface and place the button head screw back on the new bearing(This is very important).
4th press the Ta-ta firmly onto the new bearing making sure to put most pressure in the middle of the Ta -ta. This could take a lot of pressure.
Possible TA-Ta Problems:
Really loud bearing: Put a little lube on bearing then rip start a whole bunch.
Bearing stuck to post not TA-Ta: probably a little lock-tite got on inside of Bearing when it was placed on EPIC. - Pull bearing off with pliers if bearing is Toast contact MadHouse, if not replace on TA-Ta and play.
People keep grabbing your TA-Tas: Buy an extra one for your friends - Everyone loves Ta-tas.
Hans is a great guy and a person that we feel epitomize what The MadHouse is about. He has a great deal of talent and he is just a little off kilter, but most importantly like the rest of us he is all about the fun!..
