That’s the normal, FG is darker and more dull looking. Engraving on FG is more yellow/bronze-ish, while Raw is Grey/white tone

Yeah just normal. Sorry for the confusion, it’s just a bad picture

My Duncan National Yo-Yo Day sale.

I am really pleasantly surprised with the Windrunner. I really like how the color way is muted in person. On all the sites the red is so bright but it actually looks more like a rust to me.

If I would be forced to write a review for the Cold Fusion and Bumblebee after a few throws, I would say the sales price should have been the original retail price. Feel in the hand is okay, I don’t know what it is that makes me feel underwhelmed but it’s how I feel.

The Freehand was a bump to get free shipping, when I got the email June 1st, I wanted the Bumblebee, Cold Fusion and Windrunner, but what ever option I selected for the Bumblebee I kept getting a quantity discrepancy message, so I got the Cold Fusion and Windrunner.

Friday morning, don’t know why I checked but I was able to select the Bumblebee. Since 35 dollars was the limit for free North America shipping I added the Freehand.

I just put the response pads in on mine and I’m liking them that way. Getting some loops out of the Bumblebee, which I was afraid wouldn’t be possible. I did two different shipments and the Hornet I bought to put the Bumblebee over the top for shipping is a great looper. That and the Zodiac I got from YYF last month for unresponsive have really rounded everything out. I’m very happy.

I’ve had it for a few days and really haven’t played with much else. May just be honeymoon phase but I really like it

Spent a little time with mine tonight. I’m pretty much a newb so I can’t tell much of a different. I need to throw them back to back to see if I can tell.

Thanks a lot for the bday wishes :heart:, is really a great throw, yesterday I played it for other 6 hours and the more I play with it the more is great, it took a second to get used to the weight feeling in the centre, I think it’s the most stable throw in my collection and the shape is really a tech oriented one, it matches my play incredibly well!

I got this stuff yesterday, but had/still having an internet outage at my place.
I received a G2 Nessie from @ConnorWilkerson.

A One Drop Par Avion

And my first order of A&A Strings. I love the fade, but was a little bummed since I’m not a tall man and use a shorter string. This took most of the pink away which I liked the most.

Starting out to be a great day

Dressel Designs 50/50 Bape Fade from @FullSpectrumDad

Luftverk Hybrid Fulvia

Duncan Return Top, two excellent condition sportslines from the early sixties, the basketball ball is a replacement for the one I already have as it has a crack and the bowling ball is it first version. The axles on both of these are shiny and smooth, just need some new strings.

Current line up

I should be getting two Beacons from YoYofriends later this afternoon, finally.

I am short folk, I understand your pain. If it makes you feel any better we’ll be doing all kinds of colors, and some will be two-color, which is a lot easier to fit on a string. Hope you’re enjoying them otherwise!

Yes, I am enjoying them very much. It’s not your fault I’m short. :smiley:
