Out of curiosity, why use the Canadian term for yoyos if you’re an American company and not legally prohibited from using the word yoyo? Is it merely because of how it sounds following the word reticulated?

We go by both Retic Yoyo and Reticulated Return Tops. Reticulated is for the reticulated python. Reticulated Return Tops sounds better to me than reticulated yoyo. But my favorite is retic yoyo, notice I go by retic neil not reticulated neil. Thanks for asking

How much do the weight rings themselves weigh in the DA2? This might help me answer my earlier question.

Jonah says that the brass is great for 5a and ss is average.
Kameron says he likes them both for 5a
The brass rings are only .3g heavier than the stainless steel.

Yeah but what is the weight of the body without the rings? That would give me an idea of how much rim weight there is. I used to own a bliss which is a similar weight but feels like a 66g yo-yo because of the concentration of rim weight.

Thanks for the replies btw, I’m really leaning towards buying one of these just trying to solidify my thoughts.

Ill have to check the file on my computer when I get back to it but i am pretty sure the rings are 19.7grams ss and 20 grams brass. But ill need to confirm that lol

I’ve made up my mind to snag one in the next couple days. Just curious- when you do a run of a yo-yo is that it? Do you move on to the next or do you do more runs later on? If I end up really liking it for 5A I’ll probably want more and I prefer not to BST if I can avoid it. Like I’ve settled in on the Wide Angle as my go to for 1A recently and I already own 4 of them lol.

Am I the only one that actually likes the term return top as much as yo-yo?

Don’t mind me, I’m return-topping.

“Is that a yo-yo?” Or “Is that like a normal yo-yo?”

And instead saying no it’s a return top just to mess with people that ask questions with obvious answers.

Also not every activity uses the name of the activity as a verb.

“I’m basketballing.”

Why not “I’m playing with a return top.”
