C3 brought some to Worlds and loving small throws I grabbed one and another for my youngest son . After trying it the weight was perfect and it was so much fun . Then we went outside to catch the bus to Mr. Luckys and John Narum was throwing one outside so he threw it for me while I filmed him it is one of my favorite worlds videos ! It is a blast the Token is . ---

The Token is very small. I don’t think it would be ideal for 3A and 5A play. Mine is now on the mail vehicle awaiting delivery. However, I don’t think I’ll even get to it today. ---

No, not comparable to the popstar in my opinion. I really dislike the Popstar. Just doesn’t feel good. The Token, it’s gonna be another “trainer”. I’ll be using this to fine tune and dial-in my technique. It’s not going to be a favorite, but for $28, you can’t go wrong. I haven’t spent that much time with this yoyo today. I won’t be able to really give it a good throw until a couple of more weeks or at Nationals. ---

Has anyone had any problem with this yoyo being very responsive out of the box? I can’t do whips or anything without it just slamming into my hand.the bearing spins like a champ when I flick it, so I don’t think thats the problem, maybe the response? this is my first all metal throw, so I don’t know if maybe there is a breakin time or something, but i haven’t had problems with my Shaqlestar, DM II, or Ann Connolly Whip. ---

I didn’t use the stock string, I put a YYE 100% poly on there. It’s a bit more responsive than I would prefer. It’s a big grabby at first. It’s the bearing in my experience. If it doesn’t clear itself up soon, I’m gonna clean it out. I don’t always have this issue though so I also know my technique could use a bit of refinement. Just play it. You’re either breaking in the bearing, response or both. This can be normal. I know it will go dead unresponsive in time. I just don’t have the time to put any effort into this yoyo right now. ---

I would say that there are a few things contributing to this. First is the response, it is grabby and it sticks out a bit. It is not flush or recessed. Second is the gap its only 4mm (smaller than average) and last is the bearing not so much that it is a bad bearing but its flat. Pop in a CT or KK and you will see a world of difference. I have had three Tokens and done this to all of them. Right now one has a KK (my main one) and my “work” one has a CT. They need a bit of playing time to wear down the pads a bit but once that is done they will play dead unresponsive and great. ---

So I got the Token, and i like it…it reminds me a little of the popstar, just because it’s a solid chunk of aluminum (i think 7075?) and has absolutely no floaty feeling to it. I did change the bearing because the stock one was responsive, and probably not as good as a 10 ball anyway. The bearings end up pressed on and are hard to remove…this is pretty common for imported or cheaper throws. The color is awesome and it grinds exceptionally well. It’s not a serious throw IMO, but it’s a lot of fun and great for the price. Dave
