About a month and a half ago, maybe more, I bought a Recess First Base (orange) and I could not get the small bearing out so I shelved it. Last week I tried again to get the bearing out and it popped right out. I put in the large c and I really, really like it A LOT! Itā€™s really smooth and weighted nicely and totally fun! ---

Not sure if this is an unpopular opinion but OD used to me at the forefront of American designing for the best performing yoyos before the bimetal craze hit. Nowadays theyā€™re mainly releasing ā€œfunā€ releases with very few exceptions like the VTWO. Although their QC is still high as ever they should hop onto the bimetal train(heck they should have 5 years ago) or at least release more high performing competition monster monometals. ---

I know what you meanā€¦itā€™s like when everyone loves some super-popular Top 40 musician like Ed Sheeranā€¦he just makes me wanna puke when I hear himā€¦and the only person Iā€™ve met that canā€™t stand him is my brother. Edit: Bad metaphor. No one said One Drop makes people want to puke. I just meant thereā€™s a kind of subtle pressure to like and want whatā€™s really popular. ---

Iā€™m not a bimetal historian so I canā€™t recall if anyone has ever done a 100% made in the USA bimetal, but if they have, I donā€™t think it was recent. The overseas competition in the bimetal market canā€™t be touched by American manufacturing when it comes to price, unfortunately for OD. Thatā€™s a shame because Iā€™d love to see what OD could do ---

I mean, I think they are _interesting_, but kind of overrated is all. My personal play style doesnā€™t really depend on the performance boost that a bi metal can provide. Iā€™m not a total snob about it, Iā€™d play with one. To be fair, I have one, and I like it, but I donā€™t ever feel lead to actively acquire them ---

I donā€™t really own any terrible yoyos just yoyos I am not good enough to play really well at this time. Like the $1.00 yoyos Iā€™ve purchased and the One and WHiP. [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/b/e/c/becd552d4be050db46929c7d9a3e8ba0b459c671.jpeg "Team Dollar Tree Yoyo") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l273Y24YlZo) I know these cheap yoyos are not made with any quality at all but watching these people rock $1.00 yoyos - I am amazed. If it was not revealed that the yoyos cost $1.00 I would think they were expensive. ---

Exactly. It reminds me of a YouTube video out there of Joe Satriani playing _Satch Boogie_ on a crappy Strat copy, and he manages to make it look easy (improvising string bends where he could because it didnā€™t have a trem bar). But the guitar was still a piece of garbage (as electric guitars go), and at the end of the video, he commented, ā€œThat was harder than I expected.ā€ ---

Yeah making an American made bimetal is definitely very expensive compared to overseas but if anyone can make one somewhat affordable compared to other bimetals itā€™s definitely OD. The 2Sick Knight was American made and it sold for $155. OD could probably sell one for $140, not too much more than what UNPRLD sell theirs for. I think the issue is they want to make their first one perfect so a lot of prototypes = greater price. ---
