I picked up a Gauntlet today and I’ve gotta say I’m blown away. Such a crazy fun organic. Has a nice step away from the response so it spins better than other organics. Beautiful throw, has that super floaty smooth feeling that people die for

I rate it more ehhhh myself. It’s a One Drop so it is clearly _good_, but not in their top 5, maybe not even in top 10.

Mine doesnt get much action. I like the shape alot, the rim design just isnt my cup of tea.

Yo-yos are like ice cream.
Everybody doesn’t like the same flavor.
You start with any flavor and then you test around to land on the ‘one’.

You guys are trippin, this is gotta be my favorite Onedrop. I got it alongside the Top Deck, and Terrarian, and although the Top Deck is objective better in terms of spin and stability, the feel of the gauntlet is pure awesome for me

Although maybe I’m just funky because I had a MC and didn’t care for it compared to the Gauntlet

Very interesting. I have been on a heavy organic kick lately and this jammer was nowhere near my radar. I recently picked up a Mayhem and im having about the same enthusiasm for that thing. Plus, its technically a One Drop too?

Definitely more of a deep cut in the One Drop catalog, for sure. It won’t disappoint!

It’s a weird one for me. I don’t play it that much, but when i do, i get reminded how good it is. Super fun.

I got mine off the FB BST over a year ago and am still pleasantly surprised whenever I pick it up. Really enjoy it. For whatever reason, though, it’s just not as memorable as the Overture or MMC for me. But definitely a fan.

Alright guys, I’ve worked through the honey moon stage with this Gauntlet and I gotta say my opinion is unchanged.
I never thought that it was some super stable freestyle slayer, quite the contrary. It’s an organic that will bite you if you do tricks incorrectly, and I love him for it.
I still definitely believe he’s being slept on in a market that praises organics. Everyone is very free to disagree though, I’m aware my opinion isn’t very popular 🕶

Nah, you’re right man. Gauntlet is dope. Awesome price point and super fun.

Never have I slept on a gauntlet, usually use a pillow. 😁

When I first saw this, I thought you meant the _infinity gauntlet_ like from avengers. But in a pleasant surprise I saw the yo-yo.

Catch and release for me too.
