That was one thing I thought it had, I think I had a bad wedge 2.0 since zontals sucked, but when I tried a friend’s 2.0 it played much better, thank you for reviewing! Loving the reviews lately : D

Going to the gym in a bit, here’s a review

Yoyofactory | Northstar | C-Tier

Specs:
Diameter - 56.11mm
Width - 43.05mm
Weight - 71.35g
Materials - PC Body w/ Alu Rims


It’s solid. But the age really shows, sorry, it just is what it is. In the over 13 (nearly 14) years since we’ve gotten Alu-rimmed hybrids that are just better like the Monarch. It’s a fun little throwback yoyo but overall it does feel restrictive compared to something higher up on the list. It’s great if you want that historic 2010 feel, but not great if you’re expecting a performant hybrid/plastic.

Play: Everyone

Power: Powerful
Speed: Slow
Controllability: Easy
Stability: Gentleness Advised

Value: Good
Bind: Average
Sturdiness: Be Gentle

I’ll be sure to do that eventually. Definitely one of those things I’ve wanted to and been meaning to do but just haven’t quite… done.

:fire: Yoyofactory | R4 | S-Tier :fire:

Specs:
Diameter - 56mm
Width - 47mm
Weight - 64.3g
Materials - Likely 6061 Alu Body + SS Rims


The low-key banger of the Yoyofactory Mystery Black Friday bag. Didn’t think it was gonna be this, nor did I think I was gonna like it that much when I saw it was an inner ring bimetal. I tend to not be a very big fan of inner ring bimetals, especially of the inner ring bimetals from Yoyofactory. Once I realized it was an inner ring IQ/inner ring R-Type, I became especially skeptical of it. I liked the IQ, it was solid and performant if a little basic. I thought the inner-ring-ification of it was a mistake, and thought that the IQ stood good enough on its own. Thought the R4 would lose a lot of the power and stability that the IQ had so I thought it’d functionally be a nerfed version of the IQ, and by extension, have a questionable place in the R4/R-Type/IQ lineup.

Nonetheless, I was surprised! As you can tell by its ranking. The R4 is a very nimble, quick-playing, natural-feeling yoyo. It’s very maneuverable and is generally easy to control. The pacing of the R4 isn’t over-tuned to be exceptionally fast. It hits a nice sweet spot between fast and average that makes it comfortably unrestrictive if you wanna go fast, but not impossible to control if you have a more restrained playstyle. Not absolute tons of power, but enough stability that it can handily clear zontals, zoning, and a more janky style of play. The main drawback of this yoyo is that it’s a bit uncomfortable on the catch. just a handful of tweaks could probably push this into SS-Tier.

Yoyofactory | Moonlight | B-Tier

Specs:
Diameter - 56mm
Width - 48.2mm
Weight - 64.4g
Materials - Likely 6061 Alu Body + SS Rims


I expected this to be in the Yoyofactory Mystery Black Friday bag. Just had a gut feeling. Hunter had been not-so-subtly implying that “it definitely, under no circumstances, would never not totally wouldn’t ever exist ( :wink: )”. Definitely the main showrunner of the bag for sure. Not gonna lie though I expected… more.

The rimweighted sensation on this is very forward. Across the board, it’s a very very consistent and performant yoyo. However, due to the rimweighted sensation, it’s a fatiguing yoyo that makes it just a little… boring. Like it’s one of those yoyos that’s super super good, but has a quality about it that can take away the fun factor; that quality being the rimweight. Pacing is average, speed isn’t great, so I’ll rate it about average for speed play.

Play: Competitive

Power: Powerful

Controllability: Easy
Stability: Solid

He made video reviews for those two on his youtube channel

C3Yoyodesign | Galaxy Dinosaur | A-Tier

Specs:
Diameter - 55.06mm
Width - 49.95mm
Weight - 63.7g
Materials - 6061 Alu Body + Titanium Rims


I’ve loved all of the yoyos in the Galaxy lineup from C3 I’ve played with so far, but of all the Galaxy yoyos from C3 I’ve played with, this isn’t my favorite of the bunch. It just feels more dull than the Divers. More sluggish, less interesting, etc. Not bad, not dissimilar from the other divers, just not my favorite of the bunch.

Play: Competitive

Power: Powerful
