I have acquired the majority of throws in the PIF box. Thanks for letting me try these out, it helped me figure out how I wanted to set up my own throws. I’d like to go ahead and move it on to whoever wants it next!

I had a lot of fun trying these out for the past few weeks.

These were all very responsive. Usually I have to keep adding lube to the bearing to get consistent response like this. I did have some trouble figuring out what tricks work well, but that speaks to my skill level more than anything, I think. It was a bit difficult for me to do 1A style tricks with multiple string wraps without losing spin. They stalled well for 0A-style tricks, especially those with narrow gaps (unsurprisingly). After attempting the beginner trick ladder at Florida States with the Workhorse (which has played less responsive than these, with the stock Throw-Yo Elixir), I was interested to see if these could handle Split the Atom, Mach 5, and Matrix. I had good luck with Split the Atom, but the other two resulted a few minor finger bruises. (Similar to Workhorse for me, still working on those last two responsive.)

Here is a comparison photo with a couple modern responsives I own (ZGRT El Mijo SL: left, YYBC Workhorse: right).

 ![PXL_20251202_170657207](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/3/1/4/3143d00c5721270094c688bbdda8b0a4d9c74ee1.jpeg)

The Bumble Bee ended up being one of my favorites, maybe surprisingly. I think I never really felt that heft on a slim responsive yoyo before. It did well with stalls and just is very satisfying to throw.

I preferred the Deep State for 0A, but the Deeper State did better with the trick ladder tricks. I tried a Throw-yo Serum on the Deep State because the string on it was a bit short for my taste. It looked great (red and yellow) and was super bouncy, but it kind of ruined the stalls. I’ll take that off, but leave it in the box for anyone who wants to try.

The Snack stalls surprisingly well. Here’s a bonus picture of the Snack next to the Minitee and Cenote for anyone shopping for smaller yo-yos.

 ![PXL_20251202_165836651](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/a/d/b/adb17ac41652259cf755eb2a8a7292d04fe3e0f3.jpeg)

The two extras were also fun to try out. (Thanks @MinerJ) The 7Yo T2 could be an inexpensive pocket yo-yo. It feels very heavy on the string. The honeycomb is neat and stalls super well. I even got a kickflip on it. My only complaint is that the edges feel a little sharp.

Thanks to @Slestak75 for this PIF!

if someone takes 300 grit then 1000 grit to that edge it rounds out quite comfortably and it’s perfectly durable through the sanding process. i did it to mine and it feels perfect once you take that edge off

OK I have the goods! 🤩

 ![IMG_1804](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/f/b/1/fb1fce66891623d88b359265c3e3da428d8c6e92.jpeg)

Left to right, top to bottom:

- Duncan’s re-issued bimetal Turbo Bumblebee
- YYF Confusion (latest iteration, not GT)
- Recess Snack
- OneDrop Deeper State
- OneDrop Deep State
- ?? 3d printed honeycomb butterfly
- 7yo T2

Some questions if it’s ok for me to mod the package a bit without taking anything away :thinking:

1. I will be adding a Deepest State to this mix
2. ~~I would like to swap the teal Confusion for an identical yellow and black that I have a lot of (I had a run made recently). This ties it thematically to the metal Turbo Bumblebee!~~ will _ADD_ a later rev of Confusion in black/yellow
3. I will use special felt bags for each yo-yo so they are safe n’ comfy in transit
4. I’ll make a new (same sized) fresher cardboard box with the same notations

Is this ok? 👆

Glad they arrived safely. The 7Yo might be hiding behind some string in the holder.

oo looking more closely my Confusion is a slightly different, newer design with a TINY bit less width and less center weight.. see here:

 ![IMG_1805](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/1/6/0/1606f26310383fdd5651b378213c34fe241f4905.jpeg)

So I will mark it “v2” and add it, not take anything away. Safer!
