They ordered it, not sure when they will release it.
I donāt know if I should get this. The price is very tempting, but Iām not really a fan of small yoyos. They tend to be rather unstable.
Spin Dynamics Monkey Fist. SPYY Supraā¦
They will probably never be as fully stable as a real stable full-sized yoyo, but itās all about diminishing returns and how much is enough. If you canāt get your tricks done with an 888, which is a relatively unstable undersized (compared to todayās stability monsters), I have concerns about your skills.
Not YOU, Philipā¦ I have absolutely no doubts about your skills, which are awesome. Just the royal āyouā.
Particularly when a yoyo is meant to be portable and primarily funā¦ the stability level is probably just fine.
Oh man, Iām going to have to get one of these. They look so good!
I actually have a monkey fist prototype, so I know what that is like. I had forgotten about that. Itās sort of beat up, so it isnāt in tip-top shape, though.
Still, undersized yoyos do tend to be somewhat unstable. The thing is, the pocketability of a yoyo isnāt a factor for me because I donāt carry yoyos in my pocket much, so the yoyo has to be good without using size as an excuse. That said, I will definitely try it if I get the chance, and I just may pick one up. $26 is a great price for a metal. The diameter isnāt too small either.
I, like Phillip, am not normally a fan of undersized yoyos, nor do I carry one with me in my day to day travels. I am a bit of a sucker for stability and I like the feel of a bigger, heavier throw, so Iāve yet to find a truly undersized model that has won me over.
That being said, for $25 itās a no-brainer. There have been some mid-ish-size yoyos that have earned their way into my affections (YYR Blink, Onedrop Yelets), so Iām definately willing to give it a chance. Who knows, this could be the one to change my mindā¦
I also do not value so-called āportabilityā. I walk out of the house with whatever. On the other hand, I enjoy undersized just for the fun of it. Spin Dynamics Smooth Move and YYF 888 are favourites. The Supra was a favourite for a while, too. In the āmore or less mid-sizedā category (even though they claim itās undersized, I disagree) is the Werrd Minute, which is a fantastic yoyo.
So at 52mm, I could be convinced to try one of these as an impulse buy.
