Sorry about time delayed response from me, had no power most of yesterday and was limiting my phone use. The AL is a modern responsive beast, though it feels a little heavy on the string for doing 0a stuff like kickflips. I still use it for a mix of both styles. It’s super pocket friendly. I prefer the slim responsive bearing for its snappiness, but the wide flat is good if I want to do more string layers(just gotta keep it well lubed or greased) I haven’t played the unresponsive set up yet, but I can agree with what @mable has said on this thread > [@Does anyone have both the Sliver and Butterfly Al?](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/does-anyone-have-both-the-sliver-and-butterfly-al/351920/6): > > Oh, not at all! From my engineering background, I understand how the material, weight distribution, shape, etc. all affect how the yoyo plays. My problem, though, is that I don’t have enough experience to know definitively what kind of effect they’ll actually have during play grinning So it’s one thing to say that one yoyo has higher walls than another, but I don’t yet fully understand how that difference changes other characteristics of the yoyo during play, like spin time or stability. F… The AL that I just got in came with a really nice looking 10 ball slim c bearing too. I can’t remember ever getting anything different than 8’s before. ---

When I first saw the Blackout Valhalla, I knew I had to have it. I didn’t have a bimetal before this, and I was super hyped for this drop. Alarms set on multiple devices, accounts and addresses all set up, payment info saved to browser. Sure enough, I missed the drop but the yoyo gods were smiling down on me that day. This thing really is awesome, and I love how well the black tones match between the body and rings. I held out for a long time on the bimetal train, but I now understand why they’re so popular lol ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/9/e/3/9e369bb3f92494553fd1484c1675970b48320ecf.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/2/3/8/23890895319807bba90026ef8345a309f61d4452.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/6/7/1/671d86ee9884eff07e288ef7253d637f16f802a9.jpeg) ---

I’m actually a kendama player myself btw 😁 my collection mostly consists of Krom kendamas and the quality is very nice as well. and I also picked up a sweets kendama too at target and I would definitely recommend it for someone who’s getting to learn kendama. It’s a very good beginner model in my opinion but can also handle a few complex tricks as well ---
