How much did it cost? Is there a different feel in quality to the modern ones?

TiTriton, its a little scary how good it is. Titanium just the feels so good in the hand. Fully understand the Ti hype now. Yoyo is spinning in the photo too lol, its so crazy smooth which kinda surprised me, I always heard of “Ti Vibe” being a thing.

I wasn’t strong enough to only play fixed axle for the month oops. I’ve been keeping the Chief and Survivalist on hand whenever I head out lately. Canadian metal and Australian plastic are the yoyo equivalent of comfort foods. They’re always good.

I know, It’s way too good. I’m normally so dead set on solid black yoyos but this colorway just hooked me the second I saw it. It almost looks luminous while it spins, and if the sun shines directly on it this finish just glistens.

Thanks !!! I would have never looked at an antique store if you hadn’t done so already :wink:

Quarantine, day 2.
It’s beautiful outside, so I’ve prescribed myself a little fresh air. (Its ok, i live in a pretty rural area. Nobody to contact).

Noah and I are going to be just fine through this quarantine.

So I did a bit more research and it’s a 1960’s Duncan imperial !! The inner wall has an interesting cut near the top of the yo-yo so I’ll post a pic later but most of all It actually feels and plays quite heavier than the modern ones so that was very interesting but it doesn’t sleep for some reason ?? Probably because the string is sooo old and thin :laughing: but I’ll find out a solution later :wink: and it costed me only $10 so it was an absolute steal

Today I am throwing the RBC with bearing removed. It works well at a Fixed Axle. Almost pulling of split the atom.
The other two I am not played since they have bearings, and I am trying Fixed axle Feb.
The new to me Panorama, and the new Doc pop bolt.
