I know plastic rimmed metals have cracking issues but this seems crazy for a more traditional hybrid design. It has to be that sharp angle in the plastic causing issues. I recently noticed my Connection started to crack but it’s nowhere near that bad. ---

Messaged them on FB earlier. They responded and offered a replacement yo-yo of comparable value. ---

I definitely had many of my YYJs break on me back in the day, and I know that’s a big part about why I wasn’t too mad about it happening to my H5 Leaf. And C3 offering to replace it definitely makes this a much easier pill to swallow. ---

Nobody has reported this issue with the Speedaholic FX which is interesting. Looking at mine it has a much smaller hub that meets with much thicker plastic than the H5xLeaf. Hopefully companies figure out a minimum thickness of plastic and this stops being an issue. ---

No lie, it was my favorite yo-yo since the day it got delivered to my mailbox. It played so well, was deceptively nimble for a yo-yo of that size, and it also looked great under blacklight. Unfortunately, it broke before I feel I got my money’s worth out of it. But C3 is going to make it right by offering a model of comparable price to replace it, which is good enough for me. ---

What i still don’t get, and this has been mentioned already on the thread, is how plastic of that thickness in a stable, non-experimental design cracked. Cus that isn’t just a crack that’s a fissure that yoyo is falling apart ---

I’m not sure, honestly. But up until now, the only ones I’ve seen having cracking issues have been the black/yellow ones. ---

my 28s one is cracked. Got a Malicius as a replacement. My h5 leaf is still playable for now but it’ll fully fall apart someday. ---

I requested one of the Antipodal Points w/ the yellow rims as a replacement for my H5 Leaf. Not sure when it will get here, but I’m looking forward to seeing how those rims pop under my blue LED lights. ---

Tell me how it plays when it gets to you! I’ve been interested in that yoyo (C3 is by far and away my favorite company aside from my own- i think I own like 14 C3 yoyos?) ---
