dream yoyo came in from @MaximShoots , best early birthday gift
the cap sizes are different, unless those are mini sized fingerspin caps… i really want more of these…
The clear mini is apparently the small bearing version, and I think that means that it’s an A-sized bearing. I measured the diameter and got 10mm, which is smaller than a D-sized bearing which I measured at 11mm. The other models with the large bearing look like they are using a standard C-sized bearing with a 12.7mm diameter. I generally like D-sized bearings, as I can feel a difference in the binds. I’m not sure if the mini’s binds are so strong due to the bearing or other factors, but I can say that it’s binding pretty aggressively using a Kitty 1st-class regular string.
The mini is unresponsive too, as I yanked it a few times and it never came back up. So if it’s supposed to be responsive, then mine wasn’t! But honestly, that’s what I was hoping for anyway.
As far as play goes, I haven’t spent enough time with it yet to get a good feel for it. I’ll have to throw it some more and get a better idea of what to say about it. Honestly, I typically have trouble putting my thoughts about how a yoyo handles into words. For example, I got the YoyoFriends Paragraph a while back and it really felt different to me but I couldn’t think of a good way to describe the differences. Then I watched @KirbyRobot’s video review and he was able to put all my feelings into words and describe exactly what I had felt. So I’m curious to see what others say about the mini.
I been wanting one of these so bad! Just saw that BST say sold this morning. Happy early Birthday!
Thanks, I been curious. I noticed on the YYE page for the mini they have it tagged for responsive yoyos for some reason. I’ve never tried a D size bearing but they sound fun. This yoyo has somewhat has a similar shape and specs as the Recess Little League that I’ve had my eye on. Curious what one is better. I love undersized yoyos.
Aight you strong armed me into getting one😑
It makes me so happy seeing these arrive and be thrown around!
Its my first wildwood, and definitely not my last. I look forward to the next drop! Awesome job @Eric_Newlin!!!
thanks!
Holy cow, what a mail day! Enjoy. And big ups for the studies so Congratulations. What field of study?
I just wanted to repost this. Very cool and I feel quite similar.
I thought to myself just yesterday, how cool is it that we can just about post up in any city, country for that matter, and find a friend. In fact, I think I’ll start a thead…. Post Up Friend, a YoYo Club (P.U.F. YO.YO). Post in this thread to find some yo.yo. I travel a bunch for work so I’ll start asking as I’m bouncing around (East cost mostly which bumps be out a bit cause I’d love to attend DXL!!). Corny, I know but let’s see.
So glad to hear your positive feedback @MattC !
Peace. Shwa
So purty! I love my EVO. Nice string, can you get it in blue/gold?
Are titanium yo-yos harder to damage considering it’s stronger?
I want something I can throw without worrying about dropping it and causing it to vibe
Yeah but I don’t think al monos are that easy to ding really badly to begin with
Yea I’d say so. Depends on the design tho ofc
fellow teal fan
Are those aluminum Paul Escolar Freehands going to be available anywhere?
