I like the Thruline. I’ve only got a half day with it so I’m still forming some opinions. My initial thought is that this is the perfect specimen where the 10 ball gets you one thing and a concave gets you something completely different. I feel like it’s a little snaggy at first, so I’m experimenting with some different pads. Maybe this will be the time to try flowable. Maybe not, seems like a lot of work. I’m running kitty normal, DS bearing with white stratos pads (shore 40). I think these pads are slightly thicker than the OG OD slims. So maybe I’ll go back to the OD and give them a little more break in. Has anyone else figured out that the algorithm was heavily sided for the “pinwheel”. You can absolutely crank on it and it just stays on plane!! I think once I get the guts figured out, Thruline is going to rock! I suck at horizontal so I’m excited to see @KirbyRobot full review. ---

I like it a lot. Which is funny because “wide, unresponsive, algorithmically-informed metal” does not generally typify my preference when it comes to yo-yos. But I think it plays really nice and consistent and it seems to suit any attitude I approach it with. ---

Of all people, I didn’t expect you to hop in this thread. Let alone come in here and drop this heat. :fire: ---

In Japan they are selling these with Center Tracs… ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/3/e/9/3e9bf3c652b1c25929d7b4554b5c3e1852174c58.jpeg) ---

Seems like a sensible substitution, but at the moment the NSK bearing is only mentioned on the Japanese version of the page, and only in the title(?) ![Screen Shot 2024-05-13 at 11.04.20 AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/a/b/c/abc812466d0080bf8a4f56d3a72df3700ae51cbb.png) ![Screen Shot 2024-05-13 at 11.02.12 AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/b/e/f/beff7c6a86c3b300e3b22209b14301f9c3991812.png) ![Screen Shot 2024-05-13 at 11.01.51 AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/3/0/9/3090bca895638a326a337a558a59cc30d44b9393.png) ---

I think they normally have a separate listing for the NSK version when they do this. ---

Spingear does this with a lot of yoyos. Taka works with NSK a lot and I think they have some kind of deal worked out. I don’t think this really says anything about the Thruline as much as it does Spingear just including an NSK bearing to make buying from them a more appealing option. I believe they come with the stock bearing as well included in a bag, so you get both which makes it a pretty solid deal.
