Regardless of the bearing size, what’s the general feel like on the string?

Would you prefer this to a Virtuoso?

One Drop Yoyos  
“Full disclosure. This run is small and they came out 3 different ways and we’re calling them “Darker” “Lighter” and “Pinker” (left to right). When they are dropped, the 3 varieties will be listed. It is very likely they will sell out fast…”

“There are the most of the “Darker”, second of the “Lighter” and very few of the “Pinker”. What this means is that your best chance to get one is to go for a “Darker”. If you’re feeling more risky you can try for the others.”

Playing Artifact and Virtuoso back-to-back, my consistent impressison is that Virtuoso is lighter on the string and is faster paced. I’ve played Virtuoso even less lately, but it after spending a fair amount of time with Artifact today, Virtuoso had me playing catch-up.

Its not like Artifact plays heavy (and I wouldn’t really mind if it did) but it does have a little more density.

I think I prefer Artifact. The relative uniqueness of the bearing is part of its appeal, but I think I would prefer it regardless.

On IG they also mention that these are from the same anodizer who did the Boosted Rainiers. Two very different results and both outstanding. I though the Boosted Rainers looked super sharp, but I _really_ like this abstract watercolor effect on the Panoramas.

Red and Orange Boosted Rainiers on Flickr. Part of a “ninja drop”

Edit: also a NQP Clear w/ Gray Energy Dome option I hadn’t seen before.
