Pay it Forward Modded Responsives

All up to Mr @Slestak75 but interested to hear your thoughts on it all

Yeah, there are 3 “generations” of the Confusion from what I now have on hand?

Mostly they seem to have reduced center weight a fair bit with each iteration, it’s measurable on the scale.. my yellow-black TB homage is the latest. I’ll run the numbers and find a topic to post that in and then ping Hans later.

I just recently got a Turbo Confusion with the cork brake pads and I really wished they had done the black and gold coloring like what you have there, but I am not complaining, it plays like a dream, and it’s always possible they will still make that color way available to the public someday.

Yours looks awesome!

Yeah a black and yellow turbo confusion would look awesome. Wouldn’t mind seeing a turbo confusion gt too

I dig the Turbo Confusions width as is, the GT would be a little wide for me but if it means more cork throws, I’d like to see it too, and I am positive their would be an audience :heart:

All of this sounds amazing to me. I have also the first iteration of Confusion with no Hubstack capabilities.


It’s lighter than the HS version which I like, but I feel like the new Brake Pad version is going to be the best player of them all. One day I will have one. :smiley:

I’m looking forward to your impressions. Glad they made it safe. Enjoy. :grin:

Just a quick update on this PIF. @codinghorror made a new box with some great decorations as well as some very nice additions to the box. He sent it back to me and I am getting everything ready to go and will have it back on the go as soon as I can. Recent medical stuff has me moving very slow and it might be a bit but I am on it. When this goes back up I’m going to institute a new rule. “Going 3 times” as it seemed interest might be slowing down… if the PIF goes up and we get to “going 3 times” then the PIF will be open to those who want a second go. I know some had expressed an interest in going again… well now you can. Think of it as my evil plan to keep you all baited in. Be patient with me and I’ll get things right and get a proper post up.

If it goes well.. who can say.. there might be a new addition to the box made of a singing metal :wink:

It’s possible that I’ve seen this singing metal formed into an exciting looking throw… but only the slightest glance… and it’s still just rumor. :sweat_smile:

Alright. I truly apologize for the long delay. It was a rough start to the year. Now… I’ve almost completed modding the Bi-Metal Bumblebee, so my next and last task is something I need opinions on. Up till now I had a Snack in there modded with a narrow bearing to make it responsive. This was not because I felt like the Snack made the most amazing responsive… it was just to provide an example of an unresponsive yo-yo made to be responsive. My question is this: do we want to keep that (most were pretty meh about it), get rid of it, or replace it with something different? I don’t have much I’d be willing to send off this way. A Magic Yo-yo V3 ; wouldn’t really be modded as it came with switchable bearings but it does well at plowing through some pretty intricate 1a style tricks and still comes back with a tug. Maybe a Kamuraiju… maybe. I’ve been thinking that I would love to try my Slap Jr this way but I wouldn’t be wanting to PIF it. :rofl: So any opinions on this?

Maybe just grease up a standard sized flat C with your special sauce and put it in a baggie so that they can try it out in some of their personal favorite throws?

Absolutely. I could do that. That’s actually a good idea. I went ahead and found a nice narrow bearing to work perfectly in the V3 MYY. I’m going to send that out. Much more stable and powerful than the Snack. Beware… that sucker will hurt you if you’re not careful. All of them hold that potential actually.
