i like clear solids, really clean like on the grail, moonlight banshee ss (wondered why this sold out last, it was the prettiest of all!), things like that… unique solids, love that purple life, pink hawk, burgundy pelican… raw and nickels… love swirls, and uniquely sparsely decorated with simple contrast - andromeda is a good example.
splashes and washes- this is where i care more about the actual throw, meaning if i want the throw, but not necessarily the colorway, i’ll pick the lesser of two weevils, lol.
monkeyfinger, while their style is amazing, the techniques they use to make their anno stick out over the others is sick… like sick sick sick. it’s not what i am into overall, but hot damn man, the work is seriously defined.
this all said, for the od rev1 drop there were countless colorways to choose. i chose man o’war… it is sick af. the pics online and here do not do the piece justice, it is the best of all selections by far though
So…i gave it some time to set in, so here goes.
The Edge Monster(or monster edge? Idk)
First off I’m always disappointed with the string that comes with the throws. Personal preference, I know.
The yoyo has a killer paint job (I wish the black splash was more impactful when it moves) the green really screams and it has a almost claylike texture. I having dinged it yet so I’m not sure how easy it will come off.
This really fills up the hand. And though I like that, it makes it a little unfriendly when returning to the hand. It has a great response and the bearing is almost stealthy. It’s very close to a 1to1 in size but it’s shape made easy training wheels for me to do fingerprints, which I couldn’t do previously. That huge edge makes good for arm rolls too.
It’s just not for my hands for 1a. But I did put a counterweight on it yesterday and it’s pretty nice. That wide profile really holds it stable. As long as it’s got a good spin still.
Purple yos are the best yos
