I loved my Bumblebee back in the day, it’s been so long I don’t even remember what corkpad response feels like

Anyone pick one of these up? Would love to hear your thoughts

I have not tried it, but looks very interesting.  
If you’re feeling properly nostalgic I’ve got an OG cold fusion with cork pads for sale, maybe we can trade?  
Still loving the Spinworthy and 5 Star I got from you.

I picked one up, I quite like it. It’s definitely not as responsive as the RBC or any of the snappier responsive yoyos. I think the response is quite similar to the older cork pads (I pulled out a duncan bumblebee to compare), though I don’t have a fresh pair of the cork pads. Definitely responsive enough, and you can always cut away a few of the starbursts if you need to.

I picked up a Grind Machine, missed out on the Mutant.

I really enjoy it. It has been in the top 3 of my throws for the past month. I find the cork interesting yet serviceable. I would say it is a touch slippy compared to silicone, but still, enjoyably tug responsive. I like its size and weight. Just a general fun throw to me that is slightly different.

Have Fun.

I’ve got one I like it. It’s a fun yoyo that ends up in rotation from time to time.
