What did you get in the mail, 2023

Zissou.

Personal best is a 2 minute 32 second spin! My kids are really having fun with it!

Edit: personal best spin is now 6 minutes 2 seconds!

I can never decide and I’m a sucker for a half swap.

Just got in the last of the three colorways in today, thinking about doing a half swap with them.

The only throw I’ve purchased in months, can’t wait for mine. But I’m in CA, maybe this week?!

I’ve had both of these in the past, and truly regretted getting rid of them.

This mailday feels amazing.

If you come across a SPYY Addiction V2, get it.

Huge shout out to @fullnelson! This was actually two maildays. When I saw that he was selling his ILYY collection I reached out to see if I could get a couple missing pieces. After that, we did a second deal that completes my CandyBlast collection.

Awesome pickups, Josy-Ann is such a cool yoyo. I still need to grab a Void for myself at some point.

One Drop Zissou. First nice top, lots of fun and themed after one of my favorite movies.

I am really dumb when it comes to tops. If you spin it on a surface, like a wooden table, does it spin very long, compared to using the glass thingamajig you have there?

I am also rather dumb, but this ‘spin station’ greatly increases the spin time. The glass has a lot less friction and it’s slightly concave so it eventually stays in the middle. I don’t have a perfectly smooth table so it tends to ride the ridges off the edge and I can’t accurately time it, but I would guesstimate spin times are 3x longer or more on the spin station.

You can also use any concave piece of glass like a cheap makeup mirror, so it’s pretty easy to get one.

This is a very photogenic yoyo.

I opened the box, laced the included string, and started throwing fixed. At first I didn’t get it. It was not doing what I wanted. But as any spirit guide, it is not what you WANT that they lead you to. It’s what you NEED. I stuck with it for about ten minutes solid and hit the break-in curve for the string. This thing is S U P E R B. You have to play by its rules (stronger throws than one is used to with a fixie are required to get the momentum to stall efficiently), but it rewards you with perks (seemingly much easier to control on varials and dead play). I think this is due to the center weight? I ain’t no scientist. But I know what I like. And I like throwing this thing hard. I doubt I’ll ever take the rest of the parts out of their baggies.

Wife got me a throw with my school on it. Turns out it is an XT with some strange plastic bearing blank. Threw a greased C in it and it’s awesome. Also got a Wave from the BST and some Mazal string.
