Hey everyone I was wondering if any one could tell me about what the NQP is I am thinking (Not Quite Perfect) if some one could tell me about it maybe post a pick before I buy it so I know if I really want that color way or not. If you don’t know what I am talking about look at the 2014 beckmark yoyos color ways in the pick you color thing. 😛 [One Drop Yo-Yos – YoYoExpert](http://shop.yoyoexpert.com/product/1297/One-Drop-2014-H-Shape-Benchmark) Thanks!

Ok thanks for the picture! 😃 Well then maybe next time you could also say B-grade cause more people understand that where as this was the first time I have seen NQP. 😛 maybe you could do NQP(B-grade)-yoyoexpertsplash and there wouldn’t be as much confusion. 🙂 ---

For one drop 2014 benchmarks, does anybody know what the difference is between the NQP yye splash colorway and the YYE Splash colorway? They look the same but The NQP is $7 less. Why is that? [Next page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/nqp-yoyoexpert-splash/73283.md?page=2)
