YoyoFactory Equilateral

General Information:  
\*Part of YYF Champions Collection Wave 1, and the most expensive so far.  
\*Hiroyuki Suzuki Signature Yo-Yo  
\*Price = US$110 including accessories below  
\*Comes with:  
-Centre Trac Bearing in it (US$ 11)  
-1 Extra Size C Flat Bearing (US$8)  
-1 YYF Black Multi Tool (US$6)  
-1 Pair of CBC Slim Pad 19mm White Pads (US$2.20)  
-1 Piece of 100% Polyester Blue/White String  
-User guide

The Equilateral’s Specifications  
\*Weight - 66.2grams  
\*Diameter - 56mm / 2.2 inches  
\*Width - 46mm / 1.81 inches  
\*Bearing Size - Size C (Large)  
\*Response system - CBC Slim Pad 19mm  
\*Material - 6061 Aluminium (Full Metal)  
\*Colors - Red or Silver with Black Acid Splash

Good and Bad  
\*Good :  
-Long Spin (Enough to do 2 Rotations Gyroscopic Flop comfortably with a normal throw ; spins like a truck)  
-Thumb Grinding (The shape of the Rims makes it easy to place your Thumb there and the Aluminium is very Smooth)  
-Grinding (The Aluminium causes low Friction between your arm and the Equilateral, allowing Long and Smooth Arm Grinds, but your Grind must be done well)  
-Strong Response (Even when its spin is low at the end of a trick/combo, it still binds back well ; comes back to your hand with a thud even after your longest combos)

\*Bad :  
-Too much Response (Sometimes the yo-yo might grab the string and come back fast and hard ; during times when more string is on the gap)

Author’s Comments (Based on my Experience with my 1 Equilateral)  
\*Mirror Caps on the Inside come with a Protective Cover ; To keep it mint, don’t peel them off. And to Show Off, let it Shine!  
\*It may be difficult to open the Equilateral when you first get it. Don’t worry, just play around with it for sometime (1-2 hours) and it will probably be fine.  
\*Tricks like Eli Hops and Jade Whip become a lot easier to land, especially Eli Hops.  
\*An Incredible Yo-Yo, if you are looking to progress from Plastic to Full Metal, it is Excellent Choice.  
\*10/10

That’s is it for my Review! I hope that it benefits you A LOT. 🙂  
Thanks. If you think this is a Well-Written review, please give me a “Thank You” and maybe suggest what else should be done so I will know how well I have done and do better in other reviews.

Great review!

About the response, maybe you can change the pads. You can try the red ones for example. 8)
