It’s pretty fun. I just switched to a thicker string (Zipline Tainted Love). I tried it with The Origin because it has more of a “normal” yoyo feel and has no crazy cuts etc. Please let me know how you like it when you try it!

That’s gorgeous. Is it considered a TK though? I would have guessed even though it’s unbranded it would be considered a BC.
Yes same thing really but what’s official @edhaponik

Yeah TK (meaning Brad lol) sold them as unbranded BC Lightnings. Technically a BC since TK never sold laminated non-takeapart, but made by Brad during the same period he was the sole maker of TK.

I have been throwing around my 5 star with a concave full Ceramic bearing like crazy lately. My change of pace is an Overture with a flat Semi-Ceramic bearing.
Never really tried anything but stainless steel bearings in the past, but I gotta say, I’m a believer now.
You know when you have the yoyo apart and flick the bearing? These things literally spin forever. Do I feel I get extra spin time on the string? Yes, and I know that statement is controversial to some, but I hang my hat on that statement.

I have yet to try a ceramic bearing just because I’m still not sure if the slight improvement in performance is worth the extra cost. One day I’ll have to see for myself. Beautiful Overture btw!

I did the same thing with my Stargazer. Wanted to add a performance upgrade for an older yoyo. I, much like you, found it really breathed new life into it. I’m not convinced my newer throws really need a ceramic bearing, but it really helped for my older ones.

I love that Galaxy Diver 7075 v2 colorway. I got the galaxy-ish acid wash. It looks good, but I was disappointed it didn’t have more pink and silver.
Heh. Anyway, throwing these lately. Been working on a long combo just for fun(about a minute on one throw, all Trick-a-Week tricks/elements).

Yeah, C3 did a nice job on that color way. Reminds me a bit of the Miami dolphins though.
That is a nice looking basket of throws you have.
