Has anyone tried overdrive draupnir and inevitable, and maybe can share their thoughts? Or maybe compare to a draupnir?
Are these all YYR? Iâve never really heard of the Overdrive or Inevitable?
I have the Overdrive Draupnir, and I absolutely love it. Thereâs nothing that it canât really handle, and when it comes to horizontal play, itâs simply phenomenal. If you like the Draupnir, youâll definitely like this. It feels slightly heavier, but I think that gives it more character. My only problem with the Draupnir was that it felt a little, well⌠âgeneric.â The Overdrive doesnât. Itâs fast, easy to catch, and remarkably stable. You actually have to try to make it tilt. Whenever I go from an organic to the Overdrive, I feel like Iâm putting the training wheels back on. But thatâs not to say that i donât like organics. Iâm simply saying that every yo-yo can be unique in itâs own way. Yet when it comes to performance, organics usually canât compete with certain other shapes.

Yes. Theyâre new signatures from ryota ogi and arata imai
Is it as fast as draupnir? Haha
It certainly feels that way, but Iâm not the fastest player around, so I canât be entirely sure. I actually think it might even be better than the Draupnir overall, but it might just be the honeymoon period.

Can you post pics of your Overdrive Draupnir? The official YYR store pics are so artsy and shrouded in mysterious shadow that I canât see the dang yo-yo! 
Hereâs their pics of the Inevitable for example, I tried to gamma correct them to make them more visibleâŚ

Overdrive Draupnir caught my eye as well. I know theyâre completely different aside from specs but the original Overdrive was my favorite YYR to play with

Sure, but I donât know if mine will be any better. I donât really have a good camera, and the lighting is terrible in my room.

I got the overdrive before regular draupnir. Overdrive is way better imo, feels like itâs got a better weight distribution. Larger diameter is a personal preference but I like it better.
I sent mine to Brandon Vu, not sure if heâll be doing a review soon - from what Iâve heard he likes it too

Stats wise, letâs see. Draupnir vs Overdrive Draupnir.
| draup | over | |
|---|---|---|
| Diameter | 57.0 | 57.9 |
| Width | 43.4 | 44.0 |
| Weight | 63.5 | 64.7 |
A tiny bit bigger and heavier. This says nothing about the weight distribution though. Looking at profile picsâŚ
The steel bits are larger and wider, so more of the weight is in the rims.
If you superimpose one over the other, you can see the extra bimetal rim width, and the cup angles are steeper as well.

OK! I traded away my original Draupnir about two months ago, so my impressions of it will be old. But this is an âas expectedâ to me, the Overdrive has a cubic buttload of rim weight (thatâs a metric unit of measure in case you were curious) so it plays like a powerhouse. It reminds me a bit of the Edge Beyond but in a more traditional shape.

still waiting for a review of the inevitable to show up though⌠itâs one of my favourite shapes on the market right now.

It could be really good, the Anomaly is one of my favorites with that hybrid organic and W shape. The Inevitable is kinda similar⌠letâs see
I have to say I do think the newer YYR models are in fact better than the old ones. Iâm thinking of getting rid of my Valkyrie and Sigtyr in favor of these new designsâŚ

I seriously doubt that âawesomerâ is a wordâ.
But for the following comment; let me make an exception.
The Inevitable is Awesome.
The Overdrive Draupnir is Awesomer.
Both are easily better than the Draupnir. But that is in no way; throwing shade on the Draupnir. It is a very good yoyo. It should be pretty easy to accept the probability that Yoyorecreation can develop better designs as time goes by.
They knew they hit a home run when they made the Draupnir. Now they are just trying to hit the ball into the upper deck; so to speak.

Why od better then inevitable please explain it to me , seriously
I just got an OD Draupnir and I had an inevitable for a little while. The OD Draupnir plays really light and fast (which I like and I feel most people do) and the inevitable plays heavier and a little slower.
I give the OD Draupnir a 10/10 and Inevitable maybe a 8/10 (this is all based off personal preference for my type of yoyo I enjoy).
