ITS TIME TO GET TACTICAL yoyofactory’s new fundaMETAL the “Tactic” is blast from the past when it comes to shape but revolutionary would be the word to describe its feel of play. SPECS: Diameter: 50 mm / 1.97 inches Width: 38 mm / 1.50 inches Gap Width: 4.6 mm / .18 inches Response System: 888 Sized K-Pad or Small Bearing K-Pad Weight: 66.5 grams Bearing Size: Size C Large SPEC or Size A Small SPEC Compared to an X-Convict and PGM [http://i642.photobucket.com/albums/uu143/MikeMonster010/DSCN0353.jpg](http://i642.photobucket.com/albums/uu143/MikeMonster010/DSCN0353.jpg) [http://i642.photobucket.com/albums/uu143/MikeMonster010/DSCN0354.jpg](http://i642.photobucket.com/albums/uu143/MikeMonster010/DSCN0354.jpg) EDITIONS: The “Tactic” comes in 5 rich anodized colors. 4 of which are LB yoyos, the green edition is SB. there is however a 6th edition, a special SB splash edition by yoyoguy. [http://i642.photobucket.com/albums/uu143/MikeMonster010/gif.gif](http://i642.photobucket.com/albums/uu143/MikeMonster010/gif.gif) FEEL and PLAY: The “Tactic” has a classic shape yes, but when it comes to play its a remarkably new feel. the Tactic is around the standard weight of most yoyos today but it has an unbelievably heavy pull when at the end of your string. Its fast but, oh so smooth when you play. It grinds like silk on your finger. Although you cant really do thumb grinds because of its tapered rims. Theres a really nice solid feel to it, like the reassuring “THUNK” at the end of the string when you throw it that tells you your playing with a great yoyo and not a cheap $2 coke-a-cola yoyo. The Tactic is a relatively small yoyo but it dosnt feel that way, it feels full in your hand. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/a/0/a/a0a27fae3f1c7302bcd4d7a71e417d9f8d3d035c.jpeg) GUTS: The “Tactic” comes stock with a C or A sized SPEC bearing, 888 sized k-pads or small sized k-pads, and a small but perfect axel. i say that because the axel goes from one end to the other so you dont have to worry about tuning your yoyo. the SPEC is great once you’ve broken it in. Same goes for the k-pads, the Tactic starts out with some really snappy binds but once you break them in it gives some of the tightest binds iv ever played with. [http://i642.photobucket.com/albums/uu143/MikeMonster010/DSCN0357.jpg](http://i642.photobucket.com/albums/uu143/MikeMonster010/DSCN0357.jpg) [http://i642.photobucket.com/albums/uu143/MikeMonster010/DSCN0364.jpg](http://i642.photobucket.com/albums/uu143/MikeMonster010/DSCN0364.jpg) OVERALL: This is one of my favorite yoyos. Its practically perfect in every way. Its has a great solid feel with great spin times and very tight binds. The “Tactic” is also very durable, hitting the ground multiple times where i thought there would be giant gashes in my yoyo yet i find nothing, only one little pinprick is on my yoyo. Its small so it fits in my pocket yet plays like a wider yoyo. i personally give the Yoyofactory Tactic a 9 out of 10. ---

Very good for a first review (I like that you added pics). I liked it a lot, the gap is just WAY too wide in my opinion. ---

thx man, iv never tryed SB but i know how they differ, you’ll get more stability, more spin time but less wraps. in the end it all comes down to preference, trust me the tactic wont disappoint. at first you may not like it but play with for a day or 2 and suddenly its amazing, it just plays so different that it takes some getting used to. ---

lol you said cock-a-cola! Great review, though. Only other thing I would suggest is go more in-depth on the feel during play, which is essentially the most important part of the review: feel on the string, floaty vs. rim-weighted feel, slacks and whips, stability, etc. Definitely a quality review, though! ---
