Burnside still jams eh @Sinister_Yoyos
Me either!
Iāve had no issues binding with it.
You guys ever tried a YYF Nightmare? That thing has a 5mm gap.
Im 90% sure old yyfs had like 5mm gaps too. I faintly remember rhe 09 888 specifically but i could be wrong.
Itās pretty heckin sweet!
I prefer my endgame with either an airetic slim or markmont draken. I didnāt realize it had that much gap, mine was binding way too aggressively with thicker string. YMMV.
There have been so many fantastic throws recently, but the endgame has stolen my heart. I own ~300 yoyos, I donāt know when I last had a throw that was such a clear favorite. Probably the hitman, it was my absolute #1 throw for several years. Iām curious how it will last with the endgame, itās only been 6 weeks.
Somebody asked me somewhere for my thoughts on the death adder. Itās close, their profiles are very similar, weight and specs are really close with the endgame ~2mm wider and more gap. The big difference is ring placement, I think the endgameās weight distribution just really works for me better than anything else Iāve tried. The death adder is a really really good yoyo, I played it a lot today and I loved it. The whole time I was pondering why it doesnāt quite mesh with me like the endgame. Iād be willing to bet @Durfee would prefer his death adder.
I was going to take a picture of the two side by side just to show how close they look, but I managed to leave my DA at the office, I didnāt mean to. The endgame made it home without me even thinking about it, the moment I stood up to leave its string was on my finger. Kinda weird really, if I start calling it my precious somebody please come beat some sense into me and throw the thing into a volcano. No please donāt do that.
I agree that the Endgame binds very well with normal thickness string (my preference) despite its larger gap. If I didnāt know better, I might think it had a smaller than normal gap. And mine is siliconed, so itās not the pads.
Iāve owned over 300 throws as well (not at one time though!), and the Endgame is one of my current favorites. Itās fantastic in every regard - control, speed, stability, etcā¦ If anything, it might sacrifice a tiny bit of power for feel and agility.
So one night I was on a YouTube YoYo kick and I stumbled upon a video that caught my eye.
I was enamored with the video and the fact that someone decided to combine a yoyo and a spin top. I knew I had to buy one. So I went online to find one and found out that I was about 10 years to late to get one. However I got lucky and found one mint in box on eBay for a really good price.
It is made really well, I honestly was not expecting that. It is comprised of metal, rubber, and some sort of hardened plastic. Most importantly it is extremely fun to play with!
haha Iāve never heard of such a thing! How fun!!
I used to have one years ago but the axle sheared shortly after I got it.
Clever design. Enjoy!
Gradient from @Sinister_Yoyos!
Has some vibe and a nick on the blue rim but still works. I have always kept my Anniversary Edition Gradient on a stand afraid to mess it up. Now I have one to play with! I did swap the side effects.
bruh that looks sweet
Anyone else get a YoTricks āArcadeā yet? Itās only available to their Patreon subscribers, at least right now. For me it was FREE since Iāve been a supporter for long enough. Itās not bad:
It plays pretty much as youād expect from the design.
haha thatās so cool! I love awesome surprises like this!!
WooHoo!!! Glad everything got to you safely! Looks like youāre going to have a fun weekend! haha
And here in Colombia next Monday is holyday wekend of 3 days
Well in that case, it sure is a good thing you bought so many spare strings!
