There’s a Deeper State in this PIF too. It throws and catches the string incredibly well. It feels really great. I do like a bit higher of a wall though, for messing around with my stalls. (You can stall it of course. It just doesn’t seem to stick like a high wall does.)
Yeah, the Deeper State is definitely suited to a more 1a style of play. It can pull off quite a bit all while honing you accuracy down. Definitely has a hard time locking in a stall.
My son just landed his first kick flip on this Confusion. He came running across the house screaming in joy with the trapeze still in his hands.
He says he loves how it plays. I know what he’s getting for Christmas now!
Ok y’all, I’m headed out of state next week, so I think it’s time to get these sent along to their next player!
I will send the package on to the next person to post, ”I’ll take it,”* here in this this thread. DM’s don’t count, it needs to be claimed in-thread to keep everything fair (continguous 48 states only, please). You will get these five great throws to use and enjoy, completely free, for up to four weeks.
*By accepting this offer, you also accept the responsibility of creating a similar post at the end of your four week period, as well as paying the shipping fees in sending it on to the next person.
Thank you Slestak75 for such a generous PIF!
As for my thoughts on these yoyos, just know that I haven’t played any of these in their stock config:
- Bi-metal Bumblebee - Didn’t really click with me. Feels quite heavy. I used to prefer heavier throws, but the Metal Harbinger (still my #1) made me change my ways.
- Snack - Way bigger and heavier than I expected! Fun little throw, but I don’t really consider these wide yoyos all that pocket-able. For me, slimmer is far more important for pocket-ability than diameter.
- Confusion - Super comfortable and plays great. Don’t think I need one, but glad I got to throw one finally!
- Deeper State - Wow, this plays so smooth. Really loved how it moves. My son even said it feels, “other-wordly”.
Not high enough walls for how I like to play, but plays really great in “Steve Mode”.
- Deep State - This one is the winner for me. Smaller than I expected. THIS is a pocket throw! I loved my time with this one. A Deep State has officially made my wishlist now. I’ll play it stock, but will then likely look into Steve’s mod, because this thing is just rad.
I’ll take it! Finally.
I now need every yoyo to include a “Steve Mode” option.
I knew you’d get them one day.
Steve mode is pretty solid it’s how my deepstate is setup more or less
Yeah! DM me your address and I’ll send it on its way!
Hey @Shwa, just checking … you did receive this package, yes?
Sure did. They arrived yesterday.
Wonderful mods at first throw!
You waited so long for this. It’s hard to believe this has been going for nearly a year now. I hope you enjoy them.
I know, right? I was consistently a day late. Haha.
The OD’s are the clear winners in my opinion. Found a rekindled love for the Deeper State in this config. I originally liked Deep State better and sold off my Deeper State. Might have to pick one up to mod. Where did you source the washers/spacers?
A lot of information in this thread on how these came to be.
What he said…
I use a .01 and a .02 on both the Deep and the Deeper States and that gives the perfect performance. I tighten them good and tight as well.
So we are sitting at a year that this PIF has been going. In your opinion @Shwa does anything feel like it needs maintenance or is everything responding well?
I’ve really been concentrating on the One Drops. They play fantastic. I’ll make an assessment of the other but from the few throws they received, I’m no pretty sure they are good to go.
always interesting to hear other ppls takes. the od’s were the ones i was most excited and interested to try and i just did not vibe with the super slims. guess i need my throws to have some junk in the trunk
Ok, team. I am ready to get these into someone’s happy hands!
Please follow these instructions.
