Jensen used a North Star so obviously this yoyo performs on the level of both those throws. That isnt a good way to measure how good a yoyo is compared to another. But to the point the sleipnir is just as fast more stable and spins longer and it is super pretty! Theres nothing wrong with it…but and this isnt an option you listed but the clash is the king of YYR nuff said its a flippin monster havent played a dreadnaught or dreadnaught g but if the clash taught me anything bigger=better ---

Maxbet Haha top 5 With 6 listings :wink: I’d agree pretty closely Right now my top 5 Barricuda Anglam CC Cliff Sleipnir Chief The throws you listed all Rock for sure! But these are my most played The Cuda is like a Gleipnir with Cascade weighting! Amazing. Anglam CC is a slower and thicker Sleipnir And it suits my play better than the sleiipnir I found I like the 2012 run of sleipnirs more As the rim weighting is even thicker and it feels more floaty and a tad slower ---

Don’t bother with the proton. It doesn’t contest with the positron, and it definitely is nowhere near the sleipnir. I didn’t think it played that great when I tried one. ---

I found the proton to be really nice. Usually I’m not a big fan of yoyofactory but I think they really did a great job on the proton. It doesn’t contest with the positron but it is quite nice IMO. ---

Well, I ordered a Sleipnir yesterday. I’m starting to get a little “pumped” about it. I was wondering if anyone here had some feedback to offer w.r.t. it’s stock “curved bearing”. Would it be an authentic Dif-e-Yo KonKave or something else? Any suggestions as to which string type best mates with this throw would be helpful. I’ve always had it in my mind to buy the Sleipnir before a Positron but this thread clinched it for me, so…thanks. ---

As far as I know, YYR just use generic concaves in their throws. They work well enough but seem to be super sensitive to lube. As far as string goes, I’m liking Kitty normal and Kitty thin in my Sleipnir.
