Mickey is one of the Sharpest axes in the shed. Based on his history of amazingly excellent releases at more than a few price points; how you could doubt Mickeys’ expertise is something hard to grasp.
If you can put your ‘full advantage of Ti’ theory off to the side of your mind for a minute and consider that Mickey literally spends hours throwing any and every Proto he designs until he knows it’s a player.
Something has not released a ‘Dog’ yet.
And since Mickey already knows the ‘Titanium performance Bar’ is high; that alone should indicate simply by his releasing any yoyo whether part or fully Ti, would have to be Excellent or you would never even hear about it.
The answer to your ‘doubt’ is spelled out right within something you said…
You mentioned the: Titanium Dream the Citizen and the Evora setting the Ti Bar high indeed.
I have all three of them. Each of them is a Keeper.
And since all three of the above yoyos is already out and already recognized as very good yoyos; Mickey was/is already aware he can’t release a ‘lemon’.
I’ll be getting one for my Ti collection. I would not hesitate to let you know if your opinion is better than mine.
I have not touched the new Something Ti yoyo yet.
My view is based on pure and simple logic. Let’s say you live in a Town that has 3 Pizza places. And all 3 places make very very good Pizza. You get tired of working for somebody else. And you decide to open your own Restaurant. And you decide to make…Pizza.
And you already know the quality of the already established Pizza Places: Evora Pizzaria, Citizens brick Oven Pizza and The Dream Yo Pizza Joint.
Wouldn’t you make sure you could Toss some serious Pizzas around before you went up against the Competition?
There are 3 primary doubts you can erase from your mind: 1 Don’t doubt how smart Mickey is. 2 Don’t doubt how good a yoyo player Mickey is. 3 Don’t doubt for a second how good Mickey is at designing yoyos.
He’s done single metals. He’s done Delrin yoyos. He’s done Bi-metal yoyos. He’s done plastic yoyos. Everyone is high caliber work.
Note; I am not Mickeys’ product image spokesman. He is not my hero. I do not buy every model he sells. We are not best buddies. I owe him nothing.
But I do feel I kinda owe him some respect simply for the designs he has released so far.
His Ti yoyo will be another Winner.
