Iāve been very blessed lately. More than I deserve.

My Upheaval Expansion finally arrived from Japan. Definitely aligns with modern day performance widths. Love it!
Just arrived, and staying in their packages.
Idk if youāve tried the base Upheaval but Iām curious how the two compare. I got my Upheaval recently and itās a killer throw.
Yes, I have a few base Upheavals and honestly they essentially play identically, just the width of the expansion is noticeably wider. Both versions feel like they play at the same pace given the same effort. Hereās a photo of the widths next to each other for reference
Had an expense come up, so I ended up snagging a Deviant+ and Iām LOVING IT!!!
Well thatās no fUN. dUNcan=āā11
Nimbus Production made it in yesterday (orange and acid wash)
Iāve been looking at the upheavalsā¦ How do they play compared to an OG draupnir? They look sooo similar in profile
haha i actually made a comment about the upheaval and draupnir here! but in short the draupnir feels more concentrated and more direct, while the upheaval is more floaty in comparison. despite the differences they still feel pretty similar. though itās not canon, in my mind the upheaval is yyrās refreshed version of the draupnir.
Oh man you have a matte blue ā¦ wantā¦ Lol
Also good to know regarding the comparison! Thanks!
does it feel heavy or not?
I normally donāt post my mail days very often. But I feel itās my duty to pass on what was done for me. I usually am very good at not buying into hype, especially since it seems like virtually every yo-yo gets praised by the person who bought when u ask them how it is. Itās even to the point where it seems like sometimes people are even scared of criticizing a yo-yo. I get that, this is a small community so it makes sense, but thatās why hype is never a factor in my purchases, for the most part. When it comes to these two, itās not even so much that everyone is praising them everywhere u look. Not at all, but the people who are speaking out about them I could just tell that these two were both different and had the potential to be instant favorites by the way people have been speaking about them. So I actually sold some yo-yos I was very attached to, to get these. Let me just tell u now for any who still might not be paying attention to these. BELIEVE THE HYPE!! These yo-yos both looked attractive to me, but just on their own they were nowhere near the top of my priority list. But Iām so glad I changed that. I even got my first ever Clear colorway. Iāve never been a fan of clear throws. I love raw yo-yos. Especially raw organic. But clear has never been my thing. It was either clear or carbon/black. In any other case I wouldāve just passed and waited for more colorways. But not this time. Couldnāt wait. The two yo-yos Iām talking about are the OD M2 and the ATMOS BUTTERBALL. Most yo-yos now a days are pretty great out of the box. Theyāre all smooth. And they can all perform. Weāve gotten pretty spoiled Id say. Sometimes after spending a bit of time with a yo-yo it might earn a spot as a favorite. The more u play it the more u realize how special it is. But then there are the yo-yos where u donāt even have to play it to know. You know when u throw that first break away and right away its love at first throw. u look down and go wow, and u get super happy cuz u know this is one of those. Both of these are In That category. So if youāre still sleeping on these two. Go grab em! Especially if ur a fan of organics, they both compliment each other perfectly too. Theyāre so different. Itās always a good mail day when one of the yo-yos u got wows u on the first throw. But when you go 2/2. and theyāre both relatively affordable too!
Agree on the M2 but Iāve never tried a Butterball. That halfswap M2 is really good looking. Nice choice
Butterball is amazing

customs are such an awesome way to get a yoyo too! jakeās anodizers doing work in the colors/techniques of your choosing?! impossible to beat lol
appreciate the kind words my friend, i couldnt be more stoked on how these came out. the wraith is a really nice one too!
these are black/blue/green wash, with bleach stars. three color washes only work with black in them, and sadly a lot of colors dont wash when black is involved. the anodizer was worried it wouldnt wash correctly, but this one came out so much better than expected.
