I thought it was “just us” now (old farts)?
Got this little ditty today. I love how when I bind it, it goes TING. That’s probably my favorite part about it.
I don’t know if the Yo-Yo or the hoard of stickers is cooler
Thank you for grabbing one!
If there were a Gway sticker with the throw, it would be on there.
It’s a ceramic tile that i use on the bar. The copper top isn’t exactly smooth so the tile makes a nice flat spot for the drinks. My daughter wanted to stick a YYE sticker on it one day and that’s how it started. Now it makes a nice back drop for the pictures.
Love the Regulator bud. Great throw. What’s next?

Do you have the Skylight? If so, how do they compare?
Quite interesting to see that the Spire is a Throwback collaboration with iYoYo that is based off of the iCEBREAKER when iYoYo already has another 4A yoyo (Skylight) based on the iCEBREAKER.
I don’t have a skylight. The Spire is my first 4A throw.
I do have a Shooting Star, which I love for unresponsive play. The details are very similar between the two. The plastic, finish, and fingerspin dimple all feel very similar.
I haven’t really gotten to throw the Spire since I got it since it’s been rainy and I have low ceilings. I tried once and it immediately flew down a flight of stairs
So nice. Ordering something from the same continent…means I’m not waiting for a month for a change.
Also the iceberg is incredible.
I have recently fallen in love with the Deep State in a major way after discovering how much I love responsive 1A. I’ve always played my responsive yoyos so packed with grease that it really limited their 1A potential, but I’m finding thick lube is better than grease for responsive play. Opens up 1A without sacrificing too much snap.
I wish I learned this before I sold my first Deep State because now I’ve bought 3 of them, but oh well. Sold one super responsive and one unresponsive pocket yoyos to consolidate down to 1 semi responsive pocket throw.
Augment x Thesis Calyx.
I’m seriously impressed with this one. Fast, not as floaty as the AnTiThesis but close, great spin time, and smoooooth.
I just picked up the Regulator. I hadn’t heard of Gway before this but I’m definitely looking at picking up more of their throws. Nice collection there!

You (pretty sure it was you) asked a few days ago if GWAY yoyos had a certain feel. Now that you have three, can you answer that question? I have the Daredevil.
I have had only a little time with each one so far, and with a sample size of only three, it is hard to discern a signature feel to the brand as a whole. Each one feels pretty different to me, so I’ve not found a common thread emerge just yet.
Really appreciate the support here, its really an honor to have people taking the time to check out the throws!
I agree! The Iceberg was my second throw, and it is still my favorite in terms of performance. Unfortunately, it’s pretty loud, so I usually reserve it for outside. Good thing is Spring has sprung, and I’ve been throwing it over the weekend.
