Harbinger by MK1Yoyos x Spinworthy Yoyos! - Available Tonight! 03/08 - 7pm ET!

Just to be clear, I’m not saying the Harbinger is bad or even not good. This thing is solid. I only suggest the latter because I love the way the RBC feels in my hand. I can definitely respect that they are two different things.

I’m just saying, quite frankly, I wish all throws had the RBC feel to them

Just want to throw this out into the either. What would be super cool is some type of hardened shield type paint so I can have a carry everywhere beater harbinger. Because this thing is freakin amazing I want to carry it around without a care in the world.

I honestly don’t think you guys would have any problems selling another run of these. Not at all!! What a fabulous throw. I share the sentiment that the Harbinger filled the void that I felt like I needed an Alleycat 650b to fill. I feel like I got more than what my imagination was telling me the Alleycat would be…and I got more than what I imagined the Harbinger would be. It has high walls and it will stall like nobody’s business…I can’t stall worth poo but I can stall this super easy. But I can also do Matrix on it with ease despite the high walls. I am not that great at throwing and I don’t know too many tricks yet…but I do know what’s nice…and the Harbinger is super nice. The ring of the high quality metal is sooooo soothing…so satisfying. And you just want to keep throwing it. This is such a capable and comfortable throw with many satisfying qualities… I would buy even more in the future. Major Major Applause you guys!!

Or Ti! :open_mouth:

Titanium would be expensive but it would be hard to hurt. I feel like ti would need a weight redistribution due ti the difference in density to aluminum

Didn’t Glenn do a run or raw yo-yos that he had hard coated (tool hardened?, idk) for the steadfast

Thats why I got a second one…

Yes, there was a Hard Coat experimentation on the Steadfast.

Mr. Glen would need to elaborate on its benefits or why more were not made.

Titanium is possibe. Worth it though? Not sure.

I don’t really like the Harbinger being compared to the AlleyCat. I had one once and didn’t like it at all. Lol The Harbinger is much different.

BUT… I can see some shape smilarities but the comparison stops there.

I get that. I think for me it was more the idea of what I thought it was. It was the unattainable thing and it was the shape of it that conjured the images of what it might be like to hold and throw. I don’t always get my thoughts fully out there and the parts that I do get out…I can see sometimes coming across in a way that’s not what I intended. I can’t say much for anybody else, but for me I can say that what the Harbinger turned out to be…was far beyond what my imagination was able to conjure up. It filled a longing that I’ve had since picking yo-yos up again a year ago and it has in 2 days become something I will go to extremes to make sure I always have with me from this day forward. I can’t really and wasn’t really making a comparison as I’ve never thrown a 650 before…what I’m saying is that the Harbinger literally took away my desire to have a 650. Which was a pretty strong desire. Take that for what it is…a compliment. That is all I mean it to be.

What are y’all using for string on these ‘bingers?

i was using stock string, which i then switched to mowl. don’t do this, it became unresponsive on that stuff

The stock strong is fine. I haven’t experimented yet. I’ll probably try some of my new throw yo string on it.

Is the stock string OTS Normal? IIRC it was what came with the RBC. @MarkD @Glenacius_K

I’ve been using Exec Class Lite. I just love that stuff.

Yeah, sorry. You weren’t actually comparing it to the AlleyCat. My bad. :handshake:

As much as I’d love a Ti throw, they are really outside of my personal yoyo budget. Maybe some day!

I thought the stock string color didn’t look right so I didn’t use it. (I’m a designer, I can’t help it! Lol)

Been using Kitty Fat FC, but it’s acting semi-responsive on me.

I got some silicone grease for the bearing, but do I have to de-shield that tiny thing?? :laughing:

Yeah, you need to, but it’s honestly not that much harder than desheilding a C bearing.

It would and it is easily done.

It would also be a very low risk design and would look exceptional.

However, is it needed? Probably not. It would be a shelf warmer.
