The price is definitely good. I like the shape. Found one video review but it was not very informative. ---

I just got mine today. It’s honestly the prettiest version of Saturday Market I’ve seen them do - mine is simply stunning. Handfeel is very similar to the old Duncan FHZ - nice clean organic. It is a bit unstable - off-plane play will show. Very smooth and long spin. Has nice presence on the string but not chunky. While the flat bearing was really smooth and nice, I was getting some snags when the string would slide up against one of the sides. Because there is no schmoove groove or anything, it causes some significant grab if the string snugs up against the side. However, switching over to a centering bearing not only solved that, but increased the stability as well. Finish seems to be the standard pyramatte so grinding is no problem. Takes plenty of wraps and the response is confident even at low rpm. Take my hype with a grain of salt because I just got it in the mail, but I am loving this thing. OD killed it with this one. Plays well above its price point for sure. ---

Seems like a non-SE version of the Parlay. :thinking: ---

Got mine today. Unfortunately it’s NOT Saturday Market finish, that thing is GoRgEOuS! Only had a few minutes to try, real test comes in the next day or two, but it’s nice, especially for the price. Smooth, stable, and fun. No disappointments here. Didn’t ring Parlay to me, of which I have two and throw fairly often, seemed closer to General Yo 5 Star maybe, I’ll have to consider that more when I have a chance to throw it for a longer amount of time. ---

how would you say it compares to the Parlay? their profiles are similar so that’s what i thought initially, but i’d be keen to hear more about how their play differs 🙂 ---

What color is that? I’m not on top of OD colors that much. But dang, I like the way that looks. _EDIT: Nvm, took my lazy self to the OD website. That’s the Sat Market color folks are mentioning. Nice._ _EDIT 2: Also, I’m a knucklehead because you said it was Sat Market in your first post. I no read gud. Sigh._ ---

IMO the new OD Intro plays more like a smaller A-RT/G2 Life with some extra weight. It is also a little bigger and doesn’t feel at all like a Parlay. ---

I haven’t had a lot of time to play with it, but it spins SMOOTH. The finish is textured unlike any of my other throws, and in play the yoyo moves in a really satisfying way. I can’t wait to break it in a little and get more familiar with it! (Also, it’s diameter and width are almost identical to my YYJ Ex Con… Just thought that was mildly interesting!) ---

Intro is very good. Was just alright until I put a grooved bearing up in there. Now it’s freaking amazing. Nice and dense, but moves well, and a nice small form factor. ---

How do you like it compared to the Silhouette? I just got my Silhouette in today and am really digging it. Not a fan of the lack of grindability, but I have quite a few other yoyos that are grind power houses, so that’s a very small issue. Also, I love the customer service at OD. Doing that half swap for you was huge. ---

It was! They are some great dudes. The silhouette is definitely not the same as the intro. Silhouette moves quick and is a lot more stable. The Intro is a little more of a challenge, stability-wise, but is a great all-arounder. ---
