A little non-stall action. :kissing_face_with_closed_eyes::pinched_fingers:
@SlowThrow posted his and I posted mine… what are the rest of you doing with your Plasms?

I’m high functioning, and that RBC made a sound like a clear note instead of a rasp. Almost reminded me of a vibraphone, actually

Whats also wild is he can say his work won a Grammy. He did a couple pieces for the boxed set of John Lennon’s mind games, which won best boxed set this past year.

Not many yoyo players can say their art won a grammy.

I’ve got some time in on my Plasm today and really…I don’t know why I didn’t get one of these types of throws before…I had the opportunity for a short bit to buy a YYE RBC but sat on it debating. Really happy so far with my Plasm - it’s a very comfy throw and very snappy. I can see why they got cleared out very fast last week when they dropped.

All of the green glass Plasms are sold out but I’ve not seen anyone talking about them. I was hoping to get one but I could only do 1 b-grade and I opted for dark. Since they had a different finish I was wondering what people thought of them.

I mean its absolutely gorgeous in person. I dont have any of the others to compare it to (though my black b-grade should be in today or tomorrow) so all my feedback is probably the same as feedback on the plasm in general

I think it’s mostly just the smooth finish that’s different. I was just wondering if it’s sticky I guess.

Yeah, i mean like i can’t compare the finish to the others. I havent had any issues with tape measures being sticky, and it doesn’t feel sticky to the touch. The only stickiness ive had was with wet hands, which is pretty normal

Is the shape of the Plasm slightly different, or is it just a trick of the eye because it’s translucent?

My wife is very sensory sensitive to bearings, while I’m the exact opposite. I “crave” the sound of a dry bearing, and love the sound of my Ti and SS throws.

Now a hard ding, on the other hand, sets me RIGHT off…

For my 15-year-old, it’s more the feel of many aluminum yo-yos. There’s a ton of finishes that just make his skin crawl to touch.

The catch zone is more open and the shape is a tad different. I feel like every change was very positive. The size/weight increase is perfectly symmetrical and I just can’t put into words how stunned I am with this thing.

Thanks for the comparison shot!

Overall I’m digging the Plasm WAY more than I did the RBC. It feels more…capable?
