Finally go my 2 mystery boxes. I am pretty happy with what I got, but my dog isn’t.
How do you like the Superstar? I’ve never seen anything about them outside of the mystery box photos.
I haven’t played it too much yet. Fingerspin cups are easy mode. I don’t know the specs but if feels a bit on the wide side but still comfortable in my hand. It feels a little bit on the light side but very stable. I like it so far.
Hey Egon what are your sleep times like on the TiWA ? I’m noticing I get slightly less spin time than on my World Champ Wide Angle and significantly less than my Butter. Just wondering if other people are having similar experiences.
Averages from 3 throws
TiWangle - 1:04
TiVayder - 1:07
Ti888 - 1:10
Grasshopper GTX - 1:28
Observations-
The TiVayder, after about 20sec would become more balanced and I couldn’t feel it moving. Similar with the GTX but I could hear it where the Vayder is silent.
I just checked and got similar numbers with my TiWA even after adjusting tilt with my finger. I guess I’m just imagining it. How smooth is your TiWA? Mine is basically completely smooth on lighter throws but hard throws give it a little more than a light string vibe, no fingernail vibe though.
Not nearly as smooth as I’d expect for $350 homie. I’ve been in denial about it since I got this but it’s got way more fingernail vibe than I find acceptable for this price tier. I have to assume that all of these were tested and that said then Gentry must have found this to be acceptable so I feel like I have to accept that since he’s the GOAT but I’ve got a dozen Yoyos within arms reach that are all smooth as polished baby butts that cost me 1/3 as much money so… not spending this kinda coin on a YYF again. I do enjoy this piece though.
Also, why the hell are there macaroons that look like little hamburgers and macaroons made with coconut and they’re both called macaroons?
Im.gonna get crucified for this but… I completely stopped giving yyf money for this very reason.
Between me and buddies having high end yoyos with vibe, and crazy tight bearing seats. Im just not comfortable throwing money at the brand anymore .
Ok I’m glad I’m not the only one at least. Mine is more string vibe than fingernail vibe, and while it’s far from b grade level it’s definitely frustrating given the cost. It tapers out to almost completely smooth after a little, but is noticeable on anything but a medium or low strength throw. If it were a cheaper yo-yo I wouldn’t care at all.
I feel a little better knowing it’s not just me and I don’t think I plan on complaining about it. It’s still one of my favorite yo-yos and is a joy to play.
Do you think it’s worth @ ing yyfben?
Nice haul! Now we can be Endgame Best Friends Forever!!! lmao
I do love the Endgame. I wouldn’t have got one if not for you too So cool my wife picked the same color you have She got me a couple yos, I let her pick the colors, and we agreed I needed some green.
What are your thoughts on the Pragma?
I had mixed feelings for it. It played too heavy for my tastes. It does look cool IMHO though (even though it’s not green! ).
Oh, and be a bit careful with the small multi-tool. It’s not made for anything heavy duty…I’ve seen pictures where people have broken the pliers on the thing because they were trying to do too much with it! >.<’ lol
I like the Pragma. I haven’t played it much yet, I’ve yo-yoed for like 1 hour total since Xmas, but I did play it for a bit. It does feel a bit heavy, but I don’t really mind that. I find it keeps my speed in check when I’m learning new stuff or just practicing.
Yeah I saw pictures of broken bearing removal tool from the multi tool too. So I bought a separate bearing removing tool instead, carry a Allen key for the axle and have a separate string cutter instead as well
What a sweet haul Ryan!
How does the Antidote play?
Honesty, if I paid 350 bucks for a yoyo and it had any kind of vibe, I would be trying to get a replacement. It’s just inacceptable
