I had a few minutes to test out this Halifax One Drop sent me earlier this week. [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/d/9/4/d946dd65628ae39c1e8363fc5974858e14c9aed4.jpeg "Halifax First Throw") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-JOEXKCD_4) Just a few brief thoughts - it’s super rim weighted and is powerful and stable as a result. But it’s also light on the string and nimble. You guys are in for a real treat when this drops soon! ---

How would you say it compares to the Dietz (if you’ve played one)? ---

I still have a Dietz. The Dietz was (and is!) a great yoyo. The Halifax is more rim weighted and feels more substantial, even though it’s a little lighter. The catch zone on the Halifax is also a little steeper than the Dietz, which I think aslo probably contributes to moving more weight away from the center and toward the ris. ---

Both are excellent “undersized” ---

No this model is tapped. It does have that classic Dietz aesthetic, but yeah…tapped. ---

I wish the Halifax was side effect capable as I like my spikes!
