It was my first $30+ throw and I was smitten. Even though I’ve added considerably to my collection since I got it a few months ago I still throw it a good bit, as I am also a fan of organics and really appreciate Frank’s work. It’s not quite the performer that the Dif Juggernaut is, but the latter is also about $20 more expensive (and absolutely worth it IMO). I love the look of the raw Tank and enjoy alternating between having the rings off and on - something the Juggernaut does not feature. I think you’ll enjoy it.

Sounds great! I can’t wait to dive in! I’ll have to see whether I like it better with the rings in or out. I guess this is a re-release of it. It was listed as a BTB (back to basics) throw and I remember them being much more expensive a few years ago.

It seems that these BTB Tanks are pretty damn close to the old ones. I just peeped the Dif website and eBay to compare, and here’s what I found:

Specs for the original:  
Weight: 67 grams bare, 75 Grams with weight rings  
Width: 1.5” (38.1mm)  
Diameter: 2.11" ( 53.594mm )

BTB specs:  
Weight: 67 grams bare, 72 grams with rings  
Width: 1.5"  
Diameter: 2.125"

Looks like the original had an engraved dome while the BTB has a sticker.

That seems to be about it. I never played the original, so I can’t compare that.

Nice!

Although I haven’t even tried one I am pretty sure I would love it, don’t sell it off right away if you don’t initially dig it! 🙂

I like it so far, not sure if that’s the yoyo speaking to me or the hype getting to me though yet.

I know what you mean (I think). Every new yoyo seems like we arrived in the Promised Land. For me, no yoyo has made me feel that way and still does since Feb. 2019 when I got my Top Deck. The honeymoon never ended.

A Meerkat, and a Fat Tire, finally arrived!

 ![meerkat_fattire](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/1/8/9/1897bcba3e566484a7cb77f1452d92a9d10f25fd.jpeg)

After a few throws of each:

- The Fat Tire’s bearing is super noisy, I’ll have to clean/lube it.  
It feels heavy, but it disaligns very easily. I don’t have the feeling with it yet.

- The Meerkat spins quietly, and it seems super easy to control.

Also, I love the Meerkat’s color!!

that is not just raw, or has a galvanic covering (galvanizing?!?!) or if it is bare aluminum it has undergone some finishing process (it seems hammered).  
From the lathe the aluminum does not come out that way.

It has a Prymatte blast and was sitting lost in a closet for a few months up in Canada.

How does it play? I’ve always been interested in the “old school” style throws like the Cherry Bomb, Freehand 1, etc.

Guess I have to start working on some 5A after this mail day.

5A is so hard. Mostly I’ve been working on not hitting myself in the head with the counter weight. I somehow managed to nail myself hard right in the middle of the forehead last night with a dice counterweight. Sticking to balls and porykon going forward, no pointy corners.

I got the Blade 2.0, Superstar, Galaxy Diver, Czechpoint Pivot, VK, Horizon Proto, and porykon counterweights in the mail yesterday.

That is an amazing colour on the Meerkat, kinda pinkish/purple, I like that. I think I know the feeling that you have with the Fat Tire, still don`t have a feel for my Kuntosh 500QV, guess that happens sometimes...A throw might look interesting specwise but for some reason there is no `connection` with it, at least that`s my experience
