Is the bowl xl too big? Asking for a friend who is partial to undersized organic yo-yos but seriously what do people thing of this beast addition to the bowl family? Having never played any RSO bowls I want to hear the community on why they are so loved/ pricey!
I’ve thrown the Udon Bowl and the Bowl XL.
The XL definitely feels like a bowl, and it honestly doesn’t feel super big on the string. I mean, it’s obviously bigger, you’re probably not pulling off chopsticks with it, but it still feels floaty and nimble.
Some people love the RSO yo-yos because they are very good designs. And they are made with impeccable precision.
Personally, I don’t ‘love’ all his models equally. But they are all Excellent products.
I am not saying his yo-yos warrant their high prices. Value, bang for buck, worth, etc, are justified or rationalized, based on your individual reasons/purposes for obtaining them.
On the prices> The less money a person has to commit to a yo-yo purchase, the more expensive it seems.
When I buy an RSO yo-yo, I don’t think, ‘I am spending so much on the yo-yo because it’s really good’. (Incorrect). I buy the yo-yo because I am confident it will be good…. And, if you want a particular model, you ‘have to bounce the money to ‘get’ the yo-yo’.
In this particular instance, the XL is a great value. $89 is a very good price point. Surely a departure from his other models, lol. I also prefer smaller yo-yos , mostly.
I had to jump out of my comfort zone, just to ‘see’ if this larger yo-yo would click with me. It does.
In this particular instance, the XL provides an adventure well worth the ticket price…
