Those Vortexes look awesome. They’re the same body as Sochi Loop Spinners and Blitz Balls, right?
Now that’s a 2A tuesday mail day. I love it.
Don’t have the Sochi to compare with…yet.
But the Vortex and BlitzBall are not the same bodies.
The vortex body is 0.6mm wider, 0.2mm smaller in diameter and 0.6g heavier than the blitz ball.
(measured half with just the nut and no spacer)
The blitzball spacer sits further out in the vortex by like 1.5mm
BlitzBall on the left and Vortex on the right (respective spacers too)
Vortexes are old out of production loopers from a long dead company. They’re unrelated to any of Yi Chenghao’s designs.
Wait apparently Spingear revived the Vortex earlier this year??? This is news to me, but cool I guess. Yoyojoker revival arc is here.
Never seen vortex so now I’m curious.
I miss my 110 dearly. I messed it up and never fixed it and lost it in the move along with my leatherman OHT and Free. I don’t replace them because I work somewhere I can’t carry knives so I thinned out the collection and went for yo-yos. Now here we are.
Here’s a official description from SG translated from japanese
■ About the 2023 edition
It can be said that Vortex triggered the competition to develop 2A models from each brand, but most of them have a rounded shape, and the control edge is solid like Vortex, and the model that does not need adjustment is on the market. disappeared from Even when the dead stock was on sale, there were requests for continued sales, and the molds were preserved in a usable state, so we were looking for a way to continue selling them.
Also, at the time, it was not announced where it was manufactured, just because it was made in Japan. We would like to continue to sell yo-yos as yo-yos in Hachioji City. This time, we have received permission from YoYo Joker to sell Spin Gear, and we have resumed sales.
■ About this pre-release version
Both the body and cap will be newly manufactured (December 2022), and will be sold in the form of incorporating the spacers in stock at that time. Due to the limited number of spacers, pre-release quantities are limited. Regarding usability, it has been confirmed that there are no problems with sales under the supervision of Mr. Shimada.
■ About future releases
Currently, spacers are manufactured at the same factory in Hachioji city as before. We are also supervising the logo design, and it will be officially sold as soon as the parts are ready. It is expected that it will continue to be available after that. We will create an environment where competitors and performers can stably obtain models that they can use with peace of mind. We also accept inquiries for original logo versions (both photos and logos in full color) for shops and performers.
Prescription “frog in blender” thank you to addiction77 Adrian
These are my prescriptions I have now.
I when the original drop happened in 2016. I wanted a Hemoglobin and the Frog in Blender color way. I was too slow and missed. I was able to get a broken heart that I passed into a young thrower a few years ago, and the blue lagoon nebula in the picture. I finally have the ones I wanted so long ago so well cared for thank you all who had a hand in these gets.
I believe I have another around some where Found it it is also a recent get.
Petri dish
I got a prescription back in 2017, and I did not like it at the time so I got rid of it. That turns out to be a throw I wish I never gotten rid of…I feel like I would love it now if I still had it. One of my favorite looking throws to date
Now you got to get ‘em all……
Again, not yo-yo but I need to shout out my bud @bheinz63 who found out I was getting into kendama and sent me his favourite mod by Terra Kendamas for a birthday surprise. Thanks again Brandon, you’re the best!
Terra Max Angel signature mod in all Purple Heart. The clacks are godly!
Also shout out to Herb the frog.
I got a Summit and an album. Absolutely wild to think that the Summit (and especially the Summit documentary) are a decade old. It seems like modern yoyo has kinda been a blur. So much has changed since then, but at the same time 2013 still feels so recent.
Glad I’ve finally got one of these in my collection. It feels a little outdated, but almost intentionally so with that high midwall and massively stepped rim. It feels a lot more prone to precession during play than most of the yoyos I use, but it’s so zippy and easy to move around.
