For how wide it is it’s surprisingly smooth for a 3d printed YoYo. Of course it uh is absurdly wide and that does impact what you can realistically do with it. Or at the least I can definitely do an eli hop but getting into a mount can be a challenge in its own right lol
The Hourglass is as smooth as 3D printing gets. I can say the same for the slightly more “standard” yoyo I got in the same order (now that it has been released, I can say it’s “The Isosceles”. The included bearings are great.
As mentioned the width presents some challenges if attempting standard string tricks. For frontstyle the string attached to my middle finger doesn’t spread far enough from the index to catch without colliding. Managed a split bottom mount using my thumb and went from there. So many of those tricks are manageable with adjustments, with the bonus it’s easier for an audience to see.
People who have seen it get amazed without me doing anything at all with it. It’s ridiculous and it’s fun. While trying to figure it out I’ve been laughing the whole time.
Thank you! Nothing on Bluesky right now but I might consider it in the future. I’ve never even used Instagram so I’m having a difficult time figuring it out.
