The most used yoyo - Deep State
The yoyo that has created the most anticipation - The Weekender that I just ordered
Appreciate it!
I wasnāt sure about it, but given the price point I will definitely pick one of those up before too long. How does it compare to others in the Edge line? It looks a lot like a bigger OG Edge, just with a bump around the response. Iām a huge fan of the OG/1.5 Edge.
Glad you picked that colorway. As you know I came close to selling mine, but I couldnāt bring myself to.
The colorway is incredible, and while itās not in my typical spec wheelhouse, its uniqueness compared to the rest of my collection is refreshing when I get around to throwing it. It lacks a bit of power in comparison to some other bimetals Iāve used, but itās really fun to throw around, and is very fast.
Absolutely. I love the colors. Iām pretty picky about galaxy colorways, but this one is good. Glad you didnāt sell yours, it really is unique.
It is definitely a lot bigger than the OG Edge. Itās also a lot lighter and floatier. Iād say that itās kind of like if you were to take a BāEdge and a MāEdge and merge them together. It has the powerful, zippy feeling hat the BāEdge has with the fun and floatiness of the MāEdge while still having a unique feel. And donāt let the larger diameter detour you away from getting this. Sure, it might take some getting used to, but overall I actually found the larger diameter to be really helpful with more risky tricks. Overall, the Edge Ultimatum is something you really donāt want to miss out on.
These two from @Glenacius_K, and a Fat Tire are the last of 2019 for me:
The Bonsai is really cool. I may still like my fixed axle version better, but Iām still getting to know it.
I think the Hickory Ballsy is destined to be my all time favorite fixie!
Just look at the figuring on the face. Looks like a painting that should be called āHickory Mountainā. The backside of the mountain is on the other half, too. So amazing how Glen did that!
I donāt even know how many wonderful yoyos Iāve bought from Glen this year.
Whatās the difference spec-wise between a harbinger and a ballsy? I have a harbinger and a boon (the boon is smaller)
The Ballsy is wider. It looks to be the same width as my 20-Eh-Teen, so about 38mm/1.5 inches. Itās heavy at nearly 72gs. Itās a powerhouse!
Update: I just put a full-sized C bearing in the Bonsai (aka Burly), and Iām pretty blown away by how well it plays that way!
I was just about to tell you to do this @Myk_Myk .
The strength of Bonsai lies in in its unresponsive play. It really is pretty good.
Notice how I named the bearing version of the Burly the Bonsai? I thought you might appreciate that.
I did notice, but didnāt get that it was for the bearing version. Makes sense, and I do appreciate it! I like it responsive too, but it does really shine with that full C bearing.
Is that a tiny bow and arrow behind those guys?
I found this on googleā¦Iām assuming itās for a violin?
The āFinger Bowā allows the player to instantly switch between finger style (pizzicato), and bowing (arco) with a flick of a finger. The bow is 10 3/8ā long, and made of lightweight and resonate poplar wood. It is not intended to replace a traditional longer bow but to be a new tool for creative expression.
It absolutely appears so.
Cartoon characters would shoot each other with it for sure.
Nailed it!
Actually itĀ“s more for Upright Bass players, as we do more ĀØpluckinĀ“ĀØ. ItĀ“s also used by drummers to get eerie sounds by bowing the edges of cymbals. There are actually 3 bows in the pic, including a full size French and full sized German bow.
