Presenting The Martian by RSO!
It is difficult to accurately describe the playfeel of Martian - it is neither floaty nor solid playing, but it has plenty of… soul. The Martian plays slightly heavier with more center weight, with a very peculiar bounce when it hits the string. Every now and then, an RSO yo-yo with a seemingly simple design blows me away, and the Martian is one of them. Features a beautiful engraving and side effects for unmatched style and collector’s piece.
Bowl MG. “Fluffy”, floaty, nimble.
Bowl Mg is a stunning yo-yo that beckons to be held. Its exquisite, almost white/light grey matte finish is a sight to behold, unlike anything you’ll find on other metal alloys.
But it’s not just a pretty face - the magic happens when you start throwing it. This yo-yo’s playfeel is nothing short of nimble and airy. The weight is evenly distributed thanks to magnesium’s low density, giving it a distinct, almost “fluffy” movement signature on the string and impressive hang time. It’s like playing with a yo-yo made of marshmallows or helium.
Playfeel-wise, Bowl 303 plays slower, is more laid back and is easier to control than its similar-sized counterparts. Given the difference in both material and weight distribution, it is hard to say which is the dominant factor contributing to the different playfeel. I made the rims more rounded (and consequently slightly thicker) than the stainless steel Bowl Mini, so the yo-yo feels more comfortable in hand.
Bowl 303 is polished to almost a mirror finish - you can see your reflection clearly. The stainless steel looks more premium with a mirror finish than a brushed finish. Although production costs were increased, the finish on Bowl 303 stands above the rest.
