While I’m still throwing the Wave, this came in the mail: a Yomega Hyper Warp Heavy Wing (2011).
I had a Yomega Hyper Warp Wing growing up and always wanted the HWHW. One day at club this year that yo-yo came up and someone mentioned that Yomega had released a new yo-yo under that name. Given it’s a plastic over 10 years old there weren’t any in stock anywhere, but fortunately one popped up on eBay recently so I was finally able to try it.
It’s really good! Tug responsive which I wasn’t exactly expecting at 67.5g but it works pretty well. The gap is thin and it doesn’t use a C bearing (it used a size J/“Yomega Large”) but all of this together gives it a pretty unique and fun feeling on the string, the weight giving it enough power to do some pretty modern stuff.
It also makes me want to track down an Ooch-Yo, which is essentially the same yo-yo but re-worked to use a C bearing and plays unresponsive.
Anyways, enough text, here are the pictures you’re here to see
Just look at that little gap!
And, the obligatory Rancid Milk:
