Thats ‘ OYY’ The Batsquatch was :100: designed by PDX-YO, however we collaborated with Coffin Nachtmarr from Oh Yes Yo for the sticker art and the purple black colorway- we loved the sticker art so much we put one in every box. ---

I’d love to hear your thoughts on the Orbital GTX. On one hand the specs really intrigue me but on the other I’m not sure I like the shape. ---

It is basically like a bigger Haymaker X. I like the shape, but it is the size that I need to get used to; the 46mm width in particular. ---

Found a nice bundle on eBay: ![IMG_20191005_211232](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/6/d/a/6da0a3a7c2bf9358eec83bead614e1dfeab48336.jpeg) PSG, Whip and Liopleurodon. The PSG is a very good plastic, nice heft to it and plenty of power. The Whip is a surprisingly good budget plastic. I think this would be a great yoyo to get someone started in throwing. The star of the bundle and the reason I bought it, is the ILYY Liopleurodon. What a fantastic throw! Holds a lot of power in play and is comfy in the hand. Very hard to put down! ---

Oh man… Due to circumstances in my life piling up I left the Vs Newton team before getting to try anything after the Battosai. Shortly after that I left the yoyoing scene altogether. Wish I had a chance to try this or a Flying Hutt or Moonwalker. ---

Every single flying Hutt I have tried needed to be heavily tuned or it vibed like an uneven buzz saw 🤣 But otherwise amazing throw. Never played a moon walker but owned a Sky Walker and a Hutt for a time. ---

I got an Alleycat 650b, my first metal responsive. It’s a pretty good yoyo, but given how great people say it is, I thought I would like it more. It’s very smooth on the string which is great, but the weight distribution doesn’t feel right to me, or it may just be the feeling of a more dense material. There something about its response that isn’t quite as snappy as I’d like, so I thick lubed up the bearing which has helped a little. The gap is OK, and with a bit of technique adjustment, it shoots the moon just fine. I think overall, I’m not a fan of the hard hitting feeling of metal 0A so far, but I can see why others might love it. I may just need to give it more play time. ![20191009_062216](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/b/f/f/bffeb55b401e8548ce309e513abf9f211b1bb41b.jpeg) ---

> [@anon5341354](#): > > I may just need to give it more play time. I feel you on this and use to feel the same way. Mine sat on the shelf for a bit as I gravitated to others, but now I’ve really warmed up to it. Once they break in they become really consistent and feel more natural. I’ve finally found the string choice I like as well, simple YYE white bulk poly. Played YYSL X-Types for a while as that was Ed’s signature strings, but I’m liking the lighter poly now more personally. ---

Same! I ended up going with a poly/cotton blend I got in a trade. It’s working out real well, but I’m running out and will have to ask the seller what the heck it is, lol. ---

More than likely its Slick 6 50/50.

I prefer the weekender myself, it is lighter than some of my wooden fixies and feels the most like a fixed axle. ---
