Manged to tune out some of the vibe and I think I’ll sand and buff out the edges a bit. I did plan on using fine grit paper on the whole thing making it raw but I actually really like the worn look. Really nice yoyo, can handle speed really well. This could be my new EDC.
I honestly didn’t know much about it when I saw it, but it was a good price and I thought I could do a few things to it to improve the performance and look and I’m so glad I went for it.
Part of a trade I made with @Lukoyo from this very forum recently. Here is the Benchmark 2014 O. I wasn’t necessarily overly interested in getting one as I have a 2016 one already and assumed it wouldn’t be very different. How wrong I was! Brilliant yoyo
Hmmmmmm… Ordered these two at separate times of each other, from completely different countries, and they arrived at the same time. Love surprise yoyo delivery day! What do I throw first?
@gregoryfromearth made me some wooden stands for my One Drop Deep States several months ago…wouldn’t even let me pay him shipping! It means so much to me.
Well…he just randomly asked me last week if my mailing address had changed…
Then today this little thing showed up in the mail!
Greg…thank you so much man! I love it SO much! Was not expecting this at all!!

Then I also received some strings from @lucale. He sent me some samples to try out so I can provide him feedback.
I can’t wait to give these things some throw time! I got 2 poly, 2 blend and 2 nylon. Really been wanting to try some pure nylons out so this is really exciting for me!
They all look amazing (but especially the greens! lol ).

Thank you guys so much! And not just @gregoryfromearth and @lucale. But to everyone of you who has spoiled me with gifts, good deals and friendships these past few months. I really do appreciate you all!
New Moonshine! Sadly @yyfben2.deactivated it looks like I got a bum one “in the can” here, this is half full-orange and half orange/silver fade … I wondered when I saw the pads on the two halves were different!
