MaxBet for the next 5 days. Iām traveling for fun, and this is my travel throw this trip.
Howās the format: C? Worth $120?
Absolutely. One of the best yoyos Iāve tried to date.
Also, Iāve been throwing around the General Yo Prestige today.
yoyo143, It all depends on your definition of value. As is often stated, once you reach a certain level with yoyo design and manufacturing, thereās not much that makes one ābetterā than the other; just different.
I am very glad to have paid full pop for the format:C. If nothing else, itās just a beautiful objet dāart. Performance-wise, it plays at least as well as any other competition-grade yoyo Iāve played. Itās in the same leagues as some of my favourite SPYY throws such as the Pro and (surprisingly since theyāre so different) El Ranchero. It plays alongside any CLYW Iāve ever thrown.
But is it an absolute revolution in yoyoing that will make you change your entire outlook on yoyos? No, itās simply another beautiful and well-performing yoyo with aesthetic touches that are unseen until now (the āSight Linesā).
It still has shortcomings. Although my first reaction was positive to the grinding surface, a few days of throwing just confirms to me that pyramatte is only āso-soā for grinds. I have a difficult time with IRGāsā¦ even though you can feel a lip, the transition to it isnāt drastic enough and the thumb doesnāt stay sunk in unless you throw at an angle.
So really, āis it worth it?ā comes down to a few things:
-
Do you have a competition-style yoyo, and do you have a need for one in your life? If not, the format:C will fill this role and then some!
-
Do the aesthetic touches appeal to you? Instead of saying āmeh,ā do the solid colours with the raw āsight linesā make you go āWow, I love this!ā If so, maybe you should treat yourself!
-
Are grinds an integral part of your style? If not, youāre losing nothing here! But if so, it might not be the ideal choice.
To be totally subjective and express solely my own opinion for a moment-- To me, the format:C plays exactly how a $120 yoyo should play. It stands alongside other companies with $140+ yoyos, though in some cases I think the latter are overpriced rather than ODās offering being underpriced.
Anyhow. Iām thrilled to have mine. You canāt have it.

In a strange turn of events (given that I have so many new or new-to-me throws), chucking around the Kyo DNS.
New Flying Camel.
Nothing for the rest of the day because my g funk is drying (again). I chose to do it right now because ive got rehersal (or really iāll be painting a set) from 4-7 today and 11-5 tomorow, so itll be good and cured. I also just ran out of siliconeā¦ Hopefully my parents will buy me a nice new tube.
Triton kind of day, getting stoked for the Quake.
