Not sure what the Kontroversy is on the Kapital, but it has restored my likings for Yoyofactory again.

Favorite strings on your Kapital ?

Have to ride this train about the Informel, I wrote some words month ago about it in the topic of 2023, I did played thousand hours with it now and is really a super underrated yoyo, I would not bring it in a competition but it really stand out for tech playing (I mean just look at the player that signature it), is stable, reliable feels good and present on the string and is able to keep up with every combo.
Is a surprise for me that is still on all the shops, discounted and a bit “forgotten”

It was after reading your impressions and mini review on the Informel that I figured I should get it too :+1: I would love to be at your level someday :sunglasses:

For sure you will become much better than me Perry, keep practicing mate!

About the yoyo, you can find it quite cheap, there are for sure other better yoyos around but for the price you can find it is for sure a very good player, I do also like the ano and the finishing!

Yeah, I’ve wondered about that too. When I started weighing halves, I was kind of surprised to find out that they not only differed, but sometimes by what I’d consider a significant amount. That makes me wonder if they (the manufacturer or probably the designer/seller) just paired up halves without much testing, resulting in the disparate weights. But I’d like to think that there’s some art in the process and it’s not strictly science with matching numbers. By that, I mean that they kept on pairing up halves until they found a really good combination, then settled on that pair before repeating the process with another half. I know that I’ve seen some of the smaller boutique brands do this in the past. One of the reasons that I think there’s some truth to that is that I polished a yoyo’s halves without regard to matching weight and sometimes it was a fabulous result (and other times not as much so). Later on, I weighed them and found out that despite playing perfectly, the halves didn’t match in weight. So there have to be other variables involved. But then again, I’m pretty much disregarding where the weight is, and I’m sure that the distribution plays a key factor - and it’s one that I can’t hope to ever measure.

But thanks a bunch for the responses! I’m still in the learning process about yoyos and I’ve found that there’s a lot of complexity to unwrap if you’re motivated and that kind of stuff interests you.

Shaun, your pictures are always God-Tier! I find that the Tankette is a lot of fun; it’s so light that I can easily start losing control when I try to go too fast (since it can go way faster than I can :grinning:).

I DID A PULL START SITTING ON THE COUCH AND IT WAS GLORIOUS!

Thanks @DocPop for the extra goodies, especially the lifetime+ supply of Brain Lube! Happy New Years to you, as well, my friend!!!

The lack of kickback at the end of the string is so delectable, just glorious! A most excellent yoyo :grin:

I’ve been wanting to try a KNOK since they were announced. Another yoyo in the prestigious lineup of door knob themed yoyos. It reminds me in a lot of ways of the ILYY Torino. I’m a fan of it.

It’s the best yoyo color, somehow superior to black (it is super! Lol)
