A W1LD Wild and a W1LD Mild. Couldn’t resist that colorway. The Wild may be my favorite performance bimetal.

How does the Mild compare? I’m tempted by the Wild, but it looks similar to a few other recent purchases (granted, it could be better).

It’s more relaxed but good amount of power. Slight bit of float and very comfortable. Can feel some weight in a good way. Rejections are easy, controllable/maneuverable. It’s a difficult one for me to put into words. Enjoyable to play and just go with the flow is what I like about it. :hugs:

Received yesterday from my friend Liu the new LM Yoyo Studio - Riyong, I tried the prototype and convinced me months ago and now I have the final product, he is the same guy from the trimaterial crazy yoyo that I posted about months ago, still that yoyo is in my daily rotation for how good it is.

Liu is a very great skilled player so I am very annoying when it comes to his projects, he is not in this forum so I can speak freely :rofl: I love to criticize him about his yoyos and also praise when he did something very cool, also I try to push him to keep the prices down (but luckily we share the same philosophy on prices), sadly this yoyo is available only in UK and China at the moment so I feel like I can speak about it without any issue in the forum without look like I am doing some advert to him as we are friends.

The Riyong first of all cost less than 40$ and is made with 7075 aluminium. It came incredibly smooth out of box and I unscrew and screw it back couple of times and it was still smooth as glass.
I think the shape and the weight distribution make this yoyo an incredibly and weirdly good monometal, it feel light but very present on the string and very easy to manouvre during the combos, it reminded me some yoyos from C3 in style of play, very technical and hard combos oriented, the catch zone is generous I did hooks and slacks for days without problems catching it everything at first attempt, for tech I found the yoyo to go through the strings without problems even if it has the crazy width of 50mm, I didn’t noticed it until I read the specs properly, it doesn’t feel like that wide except when you do whip, harms, zoning and horizontal tricks, is so easy to catch the yoyo correctly cause you can really see the width during those combos, very interesting and very stable also during zontals.

Overall is a product that for less than 40$ offer everything that in modern yoyoing is needed and even more in competition and do it incredibly well, is for sure a yoyo that I can bring outside and ding without problems and try the craziest stuff that come to my mind without have the fear to ruin it!

The only thing I hated with all my heart about this yoyo are the pads, for God sake those things grab the string more than me grabbing my mom arm the first day of primary school because I didn’t wanted to be left there, I had to remove them and test them with some other pads I had and then yesterday night I silicone it as I love and I can’t wait to play it with the silicone today.

Galaxy diver 7075v2 is easily an S-tier+ throw. Vanitas is still wide for my tastes but i can see the appeal and am definitely keeping it nonetheless. But again Gdiver is the clear winner of the box (aside from the Hydrogen Crash, but i already had one of those and am just happy i now have undinged ones since that is my favorite yoyo of all time)

A yoyo I’ve desired for a long time landed today!!

One Drop Halifax 20/20 in Saturday Market. So even though I’ve never owned one before this yoyo is a little sentimental. I attempted to get one of my best friends into yoyo (he plays, but mostly Kendama), and a SM Halifax was one of the first yoyos he bought for himself, and his first one drop. I hadn’t even gotten an OD yoyo at that time lol. First time I played it I loved it, and I’ve lusted over his for 2 years now but he’d never sell it to me.

Big thanks to @Yoyomikie for selling me this one it’s absolutely gorgeous! It really means a lot!
