Oh Buoy! The Tyrant (I guess Tirant was taken?) arrived yesterday. ![20240906_221402](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/9/9/3/9932b862a02eb1388220969932433f7df3860e9b.jpeg) ![20240906_221424](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/1/9/8/198cd531f72c53abfdd42ae331907006217ba0bb.jpeg) _The scuffs are remarkably shallow & smooth, proving how tough this thing is._ This is my first D-bearing and essentially my first Ti. Based on the disparity between price and benefits in my experience with “premium” bimetals, I expected Ti to be overrated; I have to say, this is one impressive yoyo. I haven’t thrown a lot lately, but I think this may qualify as my 3rd favorite yoyo. I really love the undercut on the rim: it makes it feel much lighter than one would guess from appearance (based on yoyos I’ve played with somewhat-similar shapes/sizes). At first, it feels true to it’s weight\* at the end of the string; in motion, it feels deceptively light. It’s quick & very nimble (i.e. fast when it is moving and easy to get moving). I’ve also been surprised by how powerful and long-spinning this thing is. The shape is comfortable, and the rims + finish make for easy snap starts. It also regens well. Since I’m toward the end of the list, I did try to spark it. I was a little disappointed to only get one spark to pop off in the dark. Perhaps I could’ve gotten it better if I had kept trying, but I didn’t want to tear it up too much. The Buoy is also fun! No surprise there, since I like oversized yoyos. Has a light (would’ve guessed 7k Al), organic feel and really buttery anno. Fingerspins are basically impossible though; however, the Tyrant is actually more capable of them than I expected with the convex hub. While I can’t see myself paying for a titanium yoyo, the craftsmanship on this one is exceptional (and I don’t feel that way about every yoyo, “premium” or not). \*_I’m referring to the specs from Alchemik’s official release_: > [@Introducing Alchemik Yoyos and Our First Drop - The Tyrant](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/introducing-alchemik-yoyos-and-our-first-drop-the-tyrant/400641/1): > > Material - Titanium > > Total Weight - 64.9g > > Diameter - 54.03mm > > Width - 44.84mm > > Gap Width - 4.55mm > > Bearing - D There’s another set of specs at the top of this thread, which don’t quite seem to fit based on nothing more than feel. Awesome throw regardless of which specs it is. ---

Trust the specs from that other thread. The specs i think you’re talking about at the top of this thread was me just going off memory. I think you’re talking about the weight, which i had guessed wrong when i made this thread. Just put mine on the scale. 65g. (My stupid scale rounds to the nearest G) Also. There’s only 3 Tyrants left in stock. Alot of them got sent to Japan where they basically sold out instantly. They love it in Japan and i think that’s the highest praise. But yeah, 3 left state side. ---

No worries! The weight was the only thing. I’ve gotten to the point where I don’t even pay that much attention to specs - a good yoyo comes down to design, and I’ve enjoyed them in various shapes and sizes across the spectrum (or even slightly disliked ones with specs I generally like). If anyone’s thinking about a Ti, you should jump on this one - it’s phenomenal! (in my extremely limited experience with almost no other Tis 😁). ---

Pay it Forward is on the move! I haven’t been throwing a lot lately, so I thought I’d pass it on to the next anxiously-awaiting thrower. I did get some good sessions in and enjoyed my time with it. Thanks @Beverchakus for the once in a lifetime opportunity, and for being one of the most generous guys around! ---

It is with a heavy heart that I type this, but my time with the Tyrant is nearly over. This yoyo is an absolute blast, and if I ever have the financial means I would totally cop this throw. Also, easily the best D bearing yoyo I have used so far… @reverend, shoot me a DM with your address and I’ll get this shipped out on Monday… ---
