What did you get in the mail, 2023

I wasn’t sure if I was going to at first but I actually been enjoying it. It is definitely a DNA beast! I been thinking it might actually be easier to DNA with than the shooting star with the way the inner walls help your finger fall into the dimple. In terms of normal play It’s kinda making me debate if I like thinner yoyos compared to the recognition I been using mainly for the past couple months. Its a little on the heavy side but I think it feels less of a tank than my recognition. The rims are kinda sharp but it’s not super uncomfortable on the catch. It’s probably the last yoyo I own that id want to take an accident hit to the face with though haha. I think the recognition might be worth the $8 extra dollars though. All in all I like it though and been playing with it a good bit.

That’s sweet! Can’t wait until Monday when my clear shows up. May need to get more SEs :laughing:

That looks awesome! I was concerned that it would be too center-weighted, but no one has mentioned that.

I am really enjoying the Pomodoro, Cherry/Peach, it has some of my favorite type of throw feel when throwing it. It is stable very smooth. I changed the ultra lights to a different color it did not have to be tuned at all smooth as it came. I have seen the mini spike on it it looks very nice, I may try a blue in the future. Play is so nice I like rejections and beef hook, dum shot, tension slack, wrist mount tricks Tsukasa Takatsu repeaters. It handles all of that with ease. I am not a pro by any means so someone with more skills more experience would give you a better technical evaluation. I will say this throw after a few hours of play, the Pomodoro was placed in my never let go collection… and quickly put on my list of get another one to abuse, as soon as somebody puts a Pomodoro up for a steal.

Haha! I did just that…. ordered a clear Pomodoro to beat up. I’d like to keep my Cherry Peach, peachy!

For those that haven’t jumped on the Pomodoro, you’re going to want to grab one. If you like organics, or haven’t tried one yet, this one can be pushed more than most.

I want to say if MCMO and Panorama had a baby they would name it Pomodoro! :grin:.

Today is a great day,

SYFO by YoyoRecreation x OneDrop

I have wanted one of these for a while so I am very excited to have one of my own.
Also, while this was not included in the forum post or the store page about this colorway, it is actually a signature colorway for Hiro Irifune. There is a very fine etch cleverly put on one side, I got a good picture of it below.

Super rad!

I got the same Kasm today also. One of the best throws I’ve ever tried for modern responsive play. @wayne927 absolutely killed it with this design.

If you don’t mind, could you please review it?
Right now I am very curious about it!

So ive played with it for a couple hours now and I have some thoughts but I have to say I’m not great at reviews and Ive been throwing nothing but the dis yoyos anima for the past two weeks so my thoughts may be off just a tad.
-rim weighted, you can feel it. It feels heavy but pretty floaty its weird (but good) and its SUPER stable. Its a tad reluctant to move but you can get it going if you need to.

  • the quality is 10/10 absolutely insane. Very pristine. Kinda feels similar to YYR bi-metals
    -smooth smooth smooth mine came 9.75/10 smooth and it might be 10/10 its hard to tell with polished stainless steel cuz it kinda bounces off the fingernail if that makes sense
    -lots of power but doesn’t come back to your hand with too much force
    -its pretty wide so if youre a fan of wide, this is perfect
    -binds are solid
    -its a bit under full size (54.4) which I love because i have smaller hands
    -over all just a really clean throw, stable, smooth, powerful, elegant, beautiful this thing has it all. Definitely stoked to see what empathy has in store next and Im gonna get my hands on the other they have out. Sorry if this is a bit long:/ thanks - rev
