Oh I see! Nah. I wanted to get a pink 3 but alas, adhd, and then they were gone :joy: I’m cool with it now though, because I probably never would’ve tried to swap 2 and 3, if I had gotten a pink. And I kinda love it. > [@Splizacular](#): > > thats a 2 and 3 mix That’s why I always call it “Asora 2.5”. I had a feeling that little detail was getting missed by people. I wish I could think of something to call it that would convey what I’m trying to get across a little better. It’s gas though. ---

Yeah. They’re definitely different. I’m surprised how well it plays, considering that. I’m starting to notice the little differences between the two that I don’t think I would notice by just switching back and forth. There’s something magic about this here half swap. ---

It’s really good. Definitely a bit wider and more powerful than to original mongoose. (I’ve never tried the AL7 version) it feels a little more rounded in the hand too. It’s definitely a good upgrade, but there’s still definitely room for the original in the collection. It’s deferent enough to freshen up and modernize the design a bit without taking away that classic mongoose feel. Definitely a must pickup for anyone who loves the OG mongoose. Excited for you to get yours. ---

I might let one go eventually. I should probably put them back to normal and just make sure this is the way I like it. Wish I had one more asora 3 :joy: that would make things so much easier. It’s test type 2 that I really want to keep. I doubt Spence will ever make anymore test type 2. That’s the one that’s really making me hesitate. I love it. I love 3 as well, but they aren’t as scarce, so it wouldn’t feel like as big of a loss. I’m pretty sure there are still some in stock on his site and he’s pretty much confirmed he’ll be making another run. ---

There’s definitely subtle differences in play on each side. I feel like 2 has that more classic, nostalgic feeling, while 3 feels more modern and capable. I think that’s why I like having both on one yoyo. It still has that classic feeling while being a little more performant than 2 on its own. I could be way off on all this, but that’s been my experience so far. I notice as I progress, my opinions and experiences with throws change, so I always feel hesitant to try and describe a yoyo. ---

Indeed, nothing feels quite like it. Super bouncy and floaty at the same time. It’s only 62 grams but maneuvers like 65 grams because of a unique “dragged by air” feeling [Previous page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/what-are-you-throwing-2024/391097.md?page=228) [Next page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/what-are-you-throwing-2024/391097.md?page=230)
