Eyes aren’t sharp enough to tell if @bheinz63 has a Free Solo in the SM collection.

Fine folks, here is my rookie level report. Out of the box, knowing the dimensions, I didn’t find it to be as huge in hand as science would suggest. Clipped, and strung up the way OD always graciously provides, it was go time. The first landing upon a string had the heft the numbers predicted. It leapt out of that trapeze with an unexpected spring in its step. Bouncy even. Bounding toward the next maneuver. It ran just like a new sports car should. Then…well…it slowed down fast, wobbling toward the end of the roll.

Admittedly I drink all the Kool-Aid OD has to offer. This time it was tasting a little funny. I looked under the hood, blew on the bearing like an old NES game, swapped out the string, and bounced it hard off the floor as I seem to enjoy doing with every new throw… Then we were cooking! I don’t know what voodoo occured in that process, but I found the mojo I was after. This biggun is a hopping, jumping, trapeze riding, slack attacking beast that I am glad to own.

One day I will be disappointed by an OD product. It’s a numbers game, bound to happen. Today wasn’t the day. But, hey, I’m just another rookie on a journey. What do I know?

I can believe that. I fell asleep on top of my IQ and then it had a bit of vibe. Bounced it off the kitchen floor and vibe be gone

The Rebirth, and Reboot are so very similar. @hsb link sums it up pretty well. My hands do prefer the Reboot if forced to a decision. But both have a place in my rotation for my progression.

What’s left? Project 2, Reboot…. ?

Too, just nabbed a nickel plated 54! I’m in love with it. Can anyone describe the difference with the regular ano version?

If that’s it and play is pretty similar, I can compensate with side effects. I did put ultralights in it. I think that’s the set up.

Here’s the list.

Project  
Markmont Project  
Project 2  
Markmont Next  
Rebirth  
Reboot  
Markmont Project 2

idk if you care, but there’s the OG project then the 10th anniversary one. No idea how to tell them apart. Also, there’s a Magnesium Project, but it’s not going to be something you can find outside of One Drop’s playable collection unless someone can correct me. Good luck, I’m on the same journey as you.

Magnesium Project for your viewing pleasure.

Thanks for filling in the holes! I guess now it’s a collection I’ll never complete!! lol. I’ll track down all but that magnesium though!

I do remember discussing the anniversary edition, someone said it was 5 year. Are you sure it’s 10?

> One Drop Anniversary Project Reviewed by Chris Rhoads December 12, 2010 Introduction Stop me if you have heard this one before. A man walks into a machine shop, sets a yo-yo on the counter and asks, “Can you make me one of those?” To most this would sound like the beginnings of a very odd joke, but those in the yo-yoing community know that this was how One Drop YoYos came into being. It started out with a player by the name of Colin Leland entering into a local Eugene, Oregon machi…

In the review it says 3 years.
