Thanks. The one you are asking about is a Toxic Hazmat, here is a little bit about it. "I am betting there are many of you out there who are unfamiliar with the yo-yo company known as Toxic or it’s owner Evan Evans. That’s understandable considering they started out as, and still are, Toxic Strings, maker of both Mark Montgomery’s and Brett Grimes’ signature strings. Boutique string makers dabbling in the world of yo-yo design has been a time-honored tradition dating back to 2006 when Paul Wallace worked with Chris Mikulin to make one of the most talked about and well-loved yo-yos in the industry, the Peak. Paul went on to form G-String, one of the most well known boutique string makers in the community. Today we are getting a chance to see the tradition continue with Toxic’s first foray into the yo-yo market, the Hazmat. Is Toxic ready to branch out into the yoyo world or should they just stick to making killer strings for everyone else? **Specs** • Diameter: 56mm • Width: 42mm • Gap: 4.57mm • Weight: 65.5g • Bearing: One Drop 10-Ball Bearing • Response: Flow Groove Pads **Construction** The Toxic Hazmat is the brainchild of Evan Evans, owner and operator of Toxic Strings and it is machined by One Drop Yo-Yos. No, this is not a collaboration between the two companies. One Drop Yo-Yos has recently started up a machining division dedicated to helping other yo-yo companies produce high quality yo-yos without having to outsource the work overseas. A win/win for everyone involved, your yo-yo design will be made by a machine shop that specializes in yo-yo work and you get to pick the brain of a top notch machinist that works with the designer in order to make sure any issues are squashed well before the aluminum touches the lathe. For his debut release, Evans designed a full-sized, hybrid H/V-Shape, and Side Effect enabled yo-yo. The profile of the Hazmat shows off a large set of angled flat rims that transition after a minor step down into an ever so slightly convex V-Shaped catch zone that ends at the response gap. If it weren’t for that slight step this would be a completely V-Shaped yo-yo, the step gives a little extra shift in weight at the rims allowing for greater spin times. The outer edge of the rims are rounded enough to reduce most pain inducing hits but every once in a while, when you are not paying attention, it will hit wrong and you will feel it. This is just a hazard of a mostly V-Shaped design. The face of the yo-yo reveals a deep cup complete with a slight IGR and a Side Effect hub in the center. The stock Side Effects are the standard spike SEs anodized in black. The finish of the Hazmat is Pyramatte tumbled then anodized in black, deep orange, or a 50/50 combo of both. Over all I am a major fan of the design, I have always loved the V-Shape and the feel that yo-yos with this shape give during play." Howard ---

I bought a roll of toolbox drawer liner and cut it to fit inside the case. This stops the top and bottom throws from touching. Howard ---

Some of your guys’ collections are unreal. It’s like looking through a yoyo museum in this thread I love it. My collection at the moment is pretty average at best, but I do have a couple of throws from companies that are no longer around so that’s kinda cool. I picked up the hobby again in August after not throwing since 2014-15 incase you’re wondering why there are so many throws from around that time period haha. I’ll have a clear FH1 to add to it either today or tomorrow too when that comes in. Best performer in the bunch is the “Good Vibes” throw. You could win Worlds with it. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/2/7/f/27fd42cc0c46de1b09cd8cd1a7a01d97140ac7d1.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/b/1/6/b16085c65e7e6db4ae2e75d7b0ae16367fe43773.jpeg) ---
