Yeap it is. It wasn’t popular though. I’ve seen it in stock for a 2-3 years after it released.

New print just popped of the build plate. It is very smooth for all the details it has.

Bangarang with rims today. Only thing I can’t do with it that I normally do is grinds. The lightweight means it slows down too much.

So nice and light though.

Just thought I would post my thoughts on this new yoyo from Hydrangea (lisianthus). It’s not a review just some general thoughts I have on the yoyo.

[![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/b/e/e/bee52e93ce61aca8f969327909e870de9d5a8a15.jpeg " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBrM9dGJHrI)

Just to start off I thought I would post a recent video of Naoya Takeuchi competing with it at Japan Nats.

 ![PXL_20211207_152326237](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/d/6/4/d6432820e793a7eca06d8e9d0fbfed30d416b9a3.jpeg)

I just did some quick comparisons with other hydrangea throws and my only other full sized steel yoyo. (Quercus, Magnolia, yoyobarista Geisha). Also to note I had a Laurus at one point and while it was good I just didn’t feel like it was worth keeping.

Starting off I think this most resembles the quercus because of the sharper lines and less rim weight. It has an even distribution of weight like the quercus but has a heavier feeling to it. The magnolia is more rim weighted and has softer edges so I wouldn’t even call these similar other than the fact it has the same bell type shape. The steel geisha plays a lot lighter and faster but you can tell it’s lacking rim weight and has a lot of center weight. The lisianthus has a lot more weight making it a little slower but it feels more stable and competitive. Just for reference I used some cheap calipers and the lisianthus has an outer rim thickness of about 2mm and my geisha comes in around 1.6mm.

I also wanted to mention I did a quick sleeper test and I got it to go for about 6min or so.

Even though this is a unique and different yoyo I would probably steer people away from it. While I do like it I think the magnolia and quercus have a better feel when playing.

If you have any questions let me know!

I’ll be giving this Duncan Strix some love tonight. It’s been a while and they really did a good job on this thing.

I have been throwing this all black joyride all week. Its my first new yoyo since ~2011. I must say I am really impressed with how much yoyos have improved. For such a low price too… its amazing

It’s your oak table I’m eying off… That would make some good yoyos.

From 2011ish until 2017, yoyoing was nothing more than a party trick of sorts for me. I would throw just a couple times a year if my days as a “professional yoyoer” came up in conversation at my house. But this same color Strix was my one and only yoyo I used (my old collection was in a closet at my parents house).

 ![20211207_212310](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/5/8/4/584e4d1884c903145735be44a54f774599d61b5e.jpeg)

Got it at the Duncan kiosk at Disney. Still love it, definitely my favorite Duncan I’ve tried.

Edit: also a rather difficult yoyo to capture an image of on my phone, so very shiny.

That’s beautiful and I went through a similar stretch so I can definitely relate. It’s now my daughter’s favorite yoyo.
