I don’t want to scare anyone with my salty sailor like language, or anything, but I have had the TimCor Starfire for a few days now and it is a H E double hockey sticks of a lot of _fun!_

It’s just so weird to have a brand new hubstack yoyo in my hands reflecting modern machining standards… with crazy smooth spinning hubstacks! Of course I _lubed those hubstacks_, because that’s how I roll … but even directly out of the box they sure feel notably smoother than the older vintage hubstack yoyos I have on hand. And after lube treatment they are … _makes chef kissing lips gesture_ incredible 👌

Weight (63.7) and size (33.5 width, 56.4 diameter) are spot on, I have mine set up responsive – it comes with both kinds of bearings, defaults to wide/unresponsive – and **overall the Starfire re-release feels like the YYF Confusion to me**. That’s good news because I _freakin’ love_ the Confusion. The Starfire was similarly a “modern throwback” throw (even when it was originally released, I guess in 2011) that simultaneously embraces modern yoyo design elements while incorporating all the stuff that made those classic yo-yos fun in the first place.

I got the splash one and it’s better looking than I expected because it is shiny (not bead blasted) and that shows off the shiny rose gold versus the black. I think overall I do prefer a blasted finish but the shiny finish is really spectacular on this particular colorway. I am not sure if the solids are also shiny finishes, but it _looks_ to me from this picture that the solids are indeed blasted which is awesome, so you get a choice not only of colors but indirectly a choice of finish as well.

I give it five out of five yos, would recommend, and YYE should carry this one [like they carried the original Starfire](https://yoyoexpert.com/blog/timcor-starfire-very-unique-player/) back in the day :wink:
