Just wanted to add, we did have an āabout usā page but itās down right now. I apologize. Iāll be moving the info over to the new site soon. What NJstringer said about us was spot on! Wabbit and I have been long time friends since college and we lost touch after pursuing our careers in the arts. We yoyoed a lot back in those days. Iām talking a time when āKwijiboā was an amazing trick. lol. TEN years later weāre back together. We honor this friendship by making yoyos.
Good news! I just shipped some Drop Bears to YoYo Expert, and it looks like they will have them ready for you to buy soon. If I know anymore info Iāll drop you a line.
I remember learning kwijibo on a knuckle busting, tug responsive mega spinfaktor. I bought a drop bear over the weekend, looking forward to checking it out.
Itās always with a bit of trepidation that I lay down $100+ on a yoyo. Thatās not money I can just throw around, but I wish I had another $100 on hand so I could buy a second Drop Bear. Light, zippy, long spinning, awesome grinding finish. If anything, this review under sells it.
I hope ten yo yo never stops making these. This should be the throw that they become known for. Highly recommended.
I just picked one up on the forum and Iām very glad I did! Great player with strong spin dynamics. Very comparable to the top Japanese brands. Is it machined from 7075?
What kind of shape does the drop bear have? Is it considered an organic butterfly or some form of h-shape? Iām really loving this thing, I donāt have anything else that plays like it.
I believe it is considered a regular butterfly shape. Since the inner rim is not concave in geometry it is not considered an H-shape. Organic butterflies, from what I have read, are more rounded all the way around with a steeper catch zone that hugs the throw finger more. If anything, to be specific, I would term it a 2-step catch zone butterfly.
And I canāt seem to not go a day without throwing one of mine. No matter what throw I take out this one seems to find a place in my hand at some point or another.
You know whats funny? I thought the same thing about the Decapod. I was all about slightly undersized throws until I played it. Then the Drop Bear came along and now I love full sized throws. It really pays to try out new specs.
Thanks! I had so much fun writing it! Reviews always give me a reason to really focus on playing a single throw for a while which allows me to really appreciate them more.
