I want to get one eventually. I like both my iYoYo shooting star and passion a lot. The one with the green to blue fade is so sick. ---

I was so excited to see this release! I have a couple of the original Hidras, and they’re fantastic. I’m pretty sure that throwers who are far better than me would say that the originals are an older design that’s a little on the slow side and not very competitive. But I love them, as their width makes it easier to hit the string while you’re learning new tricks and they have a comfortable shape. Surprisingly, they’re pretty good for fingerspins and the DNA even though they don’t have a dimple. The steep angle of the inner cup guides your finger into the smaller recessed circle which locks your finger in place. I find them to be pretty versatile yoyos, so getting an updated version of an already great yoyo is pretty exciting.
