Hi,
I’d like to officially announce that I got a new toy.
What Yoyo?
YYR cs61
Finally. All three Infinity Knacks are mine. (Only the PC came today but I had to get a family portrait)
Picked up an Ultracut a month ago and really liked it so I figured I’d try some other throws from Yoyofriends with their 10th anniversary pack
Much want!

Why’d you have to say “Top Deck influence”? There’s no way I can swing the money for one. I almost did. No. I can’t! Top Deck is my all-time fave yoyo!
Its good to see another bassist! The Crucible looks great too!
Nice set! ![]()
Probably no rush since I’m sure these will be produced for a while. And I’ve been playing between the two all day and the Top Deck still performs and is a blast. But I feel the Crucible has retained an essence of it. Comparing to the Rainers I feel it’s more visual. Hopefully down the road you’ll get an opportunity to get one and I’d love to hear what you think.
I will never be this cool lol
How elusive?![]()
There are a few of them, I believe. From what I understand, this was a prototype KNack from when Glen was developing them. I’ve seen 1 or 2 more variations, I think. It’s close in size to the Survivalist though. More in line with the KNick KNack.
This one has a 5mm brass axle and four small holes for response. It plays well with a very thin string. I use the RCS loonie string on it (I believe it was originally called the sunshowers string?). It spins really long for a fixie because of the small axle diameter.
I’m trading this one to Andy to add to their KNack collection. So they can HAVE THEM ALL!!! Muahahaha! ![]()
Edit: I’ll also add that I believe doing the dimple in HDPE is a pain in the butt. So I don’t think Glen did it anymore after that.
Note: I remember @chaselawrence97 used to have one too. But it had the 8mm aluminum axle that came right through to the dimple.
Maybe I’ll get lucky one day![]()
I’m happy Andy is collecting all the infinity spinworthys lol. Personally I’m happy with the knack I have and while I love the stuff Glenn has made I’m happy folks like @Rich and @DLC are churning out awesome new stuff frequently
The yo-yos made by @Rich are equally as good if not better than plenty of SW & TMBR I own/owned. Really awesome stuff, highly recommend to everyone!
Edit - They are also really affordable:)
