May I ask why? Is there an advantage to that? Better responsiveness to it?
I am using my recrev 1st gen octave today 
Sounds cool! How do you like it?
I got the idea from a forum discussion some time ago. It seems to sleep a bit longer and of course I can use cotton strings. I do not think it is any more responsive but I do like it. As far as why, well why not. I have a large collection of Butterflyās so experimenting with an old extra was no hardship. I did it because it was there and it was a fun projectā¦
Okay, good enough reasoning for me 
Ti.
Been pretty much non stop with the Tundra and Moonshine since getting them. Tundra is really making me rethink a large part of my collection and my need to keep some yoyos.
Dude, THIS ^^
Now I hav not gotten a moonshine yet but it is my next buy in a few days.
These have been pretty much the only yoyos Iāve touched (outside of the yyf oh-gee) the past week.
Moonshine!

Tundra has done the same to me, itās too darn good and I canāt stop throwing it. That and my Evora are enough fun that Iāve decided to sell off stuff that I thought I never would. Iām sure Iāll miss the Fulvia BTM-R and Sovereign, but the Tundra and Evora are getting all of my play time anyways, so the others will be put to better use in somebody elseās collections hopefully.
This week Iāve been splitting time between The Cabal, Golyat, and Diffusion. All of them are very nice, but the Cabal easily tops this group with the best spin time, smooth play, stability, and build quality. The Diffusion is a close second, and I really like the feel of this yoyo. The DS bearing is fast becoming my favorite. The Golyat is fine, but canāt match the other 2. The spin time is significantly less, as well as stability. I think itās the overall design. I did throw a DS bearing in it and there was a marked improvement, but not enough to catch the Cabal and Diffusion.
I also recently got my very first metal yoyo: A MarkMont Classic! The thing is off the charts sick, but Iām very new to modern yoyos, so going from some nice plastic to the MMC was quite the epiphany. It does everything well, at least what I am capable of. Havenāt spent much time with the MMC, but Iāll be doing that this weekend and next week. One thing I noticed right off was the sound it makes. It resonates, kinda sings on the string. You can really hear the 10 ball bearing. Is this normal with metal yoyos? Almost all my plastic throws are very quiet, with some close to dead silent. I put a DS bearing in there and itās still singing, with no apparent change in play. Just wondering what to expect with metal throws, since Iām so new to themā¦
Depends on the yoyo, and itās the same with plastics. Different yoyos will have different sounds due to how the material is distributed in the design of it. From what I remember of my MMC, it definitely had more of a harmonic sound than than a lot of yoyos. Titanium yoyos āsingā even better. I think the MMC might sound like that because it is a huge bowl shape, with an inner lip for grinding that would reverberate some noise around and amplify it. If it plays fine then it most likely is fine.

DV888. Been playing mine nonstop for the past week after getting sick of my horizon. Awesome yoyo, really fast and solid.
