That’s very strange. All my Doves play better than any other plastic yoyo I own (not counting hybrids). ---

Im going to keep throwing it at least for a few days and hopefully wear these pads in. That could help. My Speedaholic XX plays glass smooth in comparison. Im also very picky 🤷‍♂️ ---

I would like to hear your thoughts on it, especially if you have any other plastics for comparison. I personally love both my Speedahlic XX and BoltXP. This and the Topyo Cloud just play so meh to me. ---

It’s been a few months since I had my last mail day, but this one specifically feels like it’s been a long time coming. Now we both have one @kight! This is probably the most excited I’ve ever been to open up a package in the mail, but I’m not really sure what else to say about it lol. ![IMG_4448](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/1/6/e/16e8d15bae115aaa31d18d345c668387bdc814e1.jpeg) ---

I liked the Cloud once I had it siliconed and tuned. Dove was an experience similar to yours for me. Mine vibed and had a super tight bearing seat. I didn’t like the gloss finish it had at all, just felt wrong somehow. The BoltXP, Speedaholic XX, and Shooting Star are all a cut above it in my book. ---

Yeah, it’s the Pokemon Unown from Gold and Silver. The profile engraving reads “IF LOST PLEASE CONTACT UNKNOWN AND ASK FOR CLYW _either a pickaxe or unknown symbol at the end depending on the yoyo half_ ” It’s really cute and I’m super nostalgic for the first three Pokemon generations. ---

Yesss congrats!! I remember seeing one listed here a few days ago that got snatched up quick and hoping you got it 😁 Still one of my favorite undersized, and the Pokemon theme is just the cherry on top. ---

Yeah after playing with the Dove extensively last night and discovering it has pulse vibe that has only gotten worse since changing the bearing, I dont think I can recommend this yoyo, especially when yoyos like the Speedaholic XX exist that are cheaper and better in quality. ---

Interesting. I play with my dove quite a bit. I enjoy it, but I don’t have those other ones for comparison. Mine came with some coloring flaws, so I could understand if quality control was less stringent. Seems like a different experience. If it seems to have flaws, I’d ask for a refund or replacement. ---

I’m not worried about replacing it, from a player perspective it still plays. I heard yoyofriends had their own machine shop so I wanted to give them a try, the bearing seat situation alone showed me what I needed to see. ---

I’d be bummed if that was my first introduction to YYFriends, you should give ‘em another shot b/c their bimetals are some of the absolute highest quality I own. The Peregrine, Vulture and Hummingbird are all crazy good and stupidly well made. Maybe they just outsource the making of the Dove? Just a theory. ---

I too am surprised of this. Yoyofriends dole out some high quality stufff. My Dove was super smooth and played so well. Maybe you got a dud. Any chance of sending it back? What kind of bearing did you try to install? Could the ID been small? ---

Pretty sure they wouldn’t outsource. They are the machine shop. Their official FPM FB has posts like this even, from June 10 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/2/a/2/2a2e2a31a13fbce4527f058c4717a13673dc9a04.jpeg) ---

Yeah you’re probably right. Was just a theory since some yoyo companies who machine their own throws have outsourced the cheaper plastic stuff in the past.
