Has anyone tried the Spintastics Classic Wood yoyo? I can’t find much information about it, but it’s cheap enough that I may just roll the dice and try it out.

Which one the Manta Ray?

The take apart design of the Manta and its wood axle makes for a convenient smooth player for getting those GT stall flips. It also has a nice weight to it at 52 grams. These are definitely underrated in the world of fixed axle or maybe it’s history is just over shadowed by the Tiger Shark (which is the same body, but with a bearing) that won 1A Worlds 20 years ago.

No, it’s a wood yoyo in the same shape as a Technic or a ProYo.

Thanks, but it’s not the Manta Ray, although I do have one and it’s pretty great. It’s the all wood one that’s available on the ubiquitous online retailer that’s listed as “Spintastics Curvy Circles Classic Natural Wooden Yo-yo” that I’m asking about. I don’t remember any all wood throws in the Spintastics line, so super curious about it. The Technic is probably my all-time favorite fixie, so I’d be pretty interested in a similar playing all wood throw.

I went ahead and bought one out of curiosity, and it’s…bad. Sides are uneven, the edges of the gap are sharp, and the axle diameter is a bit on the big side. If you’re looking for a decent all wood fixie on the cheap, this ain’t it.

That looks a little like the Playmaxx Roadster. I wish they were still made. A little bigger than a standard ProYo, but still comfortable in the hand. And following the basic ProYo form. Mine was unvarnished, but stained. “Flores Flyer” on one side, the other blank.
