SpectraPly looks great, but solid wood plays better. ---

I have so many yoyos, because the “Prefect” yoyo doesn’t exist. ---

The A-RT I have is straight up vibrating the string after making sure to smooth the yoyo out with my finger as good as possible. ---

It would be useful to know what A-RT models people seem to have vibe issues with. For all I know everyone could be talking about problems with the same model but we could never know, since no one mentions specifics so it’s like the problem extends to the whole A-RT line or what? I’ve had 7 A-RT (Grail x3, Sparrow, Life, Diptych, Quail) with very little problems in the way of vibe. Out of what I had, the Diptych had the most vibe, affecting grinds a bit too much for my tolerance, but it still wasn’t anything you could feel on the string. In general, I rate the machining of One Drop very highly, and they seem to do a great job on the A-RT throws but perhaps there is one A-RT design that has more problems with vibe?? ---

My Quail is pretty vibey, more vibey than some b-grades i’ve owned. I don’t mind personally, love how it plays, but it’s probably going to effect value if I ever decide to sell it. 🤷‍♂️ ---

Quail is the one I have as well that’s got such bad Vibe. ---

looks like i’m playing the quail today, lol… mine was from the last drop (12/19ish, the wintergreen or whatever), and isn’t vibey… not ‘g2’ smooth lol, but nothing i would put into a bgrade category and smooth enough to pass a credit card test. i’ve received 2 new yoyos with a nick though, lol… ---

That’s a shame about the vibey Quails. Maybe, like @fatguysnacks247 I’ve also got a better one, a frost blue/green one (teal, basically) that I’d say is 8.5/10 for vibe. ---

My quail also vibes. Also had some news throws from them that came with a weird smell, and felt dirty. Not sure what got on to them… alcohol cleaned up fine though. ---

Short string is different. I used to feel similarly but the way that you can perform tricks with different string lengths has been intriguing me the past couple months ---
