My everyday carry. Old boys, but still up to today’s expectations… Beaten, but stay strong.

Well I’m not throwing an Edge Beyond anymore because I just broke mine 
I dropped it on a hardwood floor from about 3 feet high and the axle halfway popped out of one side. It actually ripped about half the individual threads out of the hole, so there was a windy corkscrew shaped piece of solid aluminum sticking out. I unscrewed the threads from the… uh… remaining threads. The axle screws back into it, but at an angle and there’s enough to hold it together, but not sturdily, and it’s more wobbly than a flat tire at 80mph.
I could just endless scream endlessly forever to infinity and beyond until the endgame. Seriously, I’m kinda upset

This also seems to happen to OD Top Decks from time to time (I’ve seen the photos). I guess even high-grade aluminum can break if the walls are thin enough.

Yeah I’d shoot an email to contact@yoyofactory.com we tend to take care of these kinda things. Hate to see yoyos not getting played like they should.

Lucky you, I took a pic last night to send to YoYoFactory.
This ones better:
Can’t really see what happened to the threads, just looks a mess, and that corkscrew bit broke into a couple pieces before I got it all the way out. I should have taken a picture of it first.

You know, the Banshee SS sorta mystifies me. The Banshee '18 is already a high performance throw, do the rings really make all that much of a difference? I guess maybe it’s like the performance jump between an Edge and an Edge Beyond; two yoyos sharing a brand name but playing noticeably differently.

I haven’t strung up either of my B18s (AL6 & AL7) to compare. From what I remember from them, though, this feels a bit more powerful but not overly so. More a different flavor than anything though I’m also not exactly doing combos that push its capabilities.
I can definitely see the argument that you don’t need both the bimetal and the monometals. Tbh at this point I’m really just collecting the Banshees.

How can you tell the difference between a 6061 and a 7075 Banshee? Like, if two Banshees were just put down in front of you, how would you be able to tell?

Tbh I was wondering that myself and I have no clue. They play rather similarly though the AL7 feels a touch heavier. I know that the AL7s have a much more limited pool of colorways but other than that, I probably wouldn’t be able to tell.
I tell mine apart b/c my AL6 is an unengraved blue and my AL7 is a green Bomber (don’t think the Bomber engraving is available on AL6 but I’m not 100% sure on that).
@G2_Jake any insight on how to tell AL6 and AL7s apart?

Gave my MagicYoYo N12 Shark some love today. I wish it were a better color (though they claim it to be green…it’s really not IMHO).
Damn it’s a good playing yo though! I’m still amazed that there’s such great playing metal yos for $12’ish!

Well remember the “new” banshee had more rim weight than the earlier model, so that is the trend… I don’t see bimetal as wildly out of sync than that.
(I actually prefer the original floaty banshee, to be honest)
