Right back atcha!

AND I’ve got two other Vipers with standard shells from back in the day, to go along with the Neo XL.
Pretty sure I just about doubled my collection size this year.

C3YoyoDesign’s 2020 ‘secret’ bi-metal. Introducing the Galaxy Diver!


I got an emerald greenish colorway (hard to capture the color accurately using my cellphone’s camera). C3YoyoDesign hasn’t released the specs yet, but this thing is probably 46mm in width at least. Probably the most stable bi-metal I’ve ever had. Nice beefy rims, yet doesnt feel like a typical heavy-rimmed bi-metal for some reason. Very comfortable to catch. Also has a long spin time (I clocked 2 min. on a good strong throw). Definitely my new favorite bi-metal.

I got the Radius Nexus, as well as the Initiator. I’m so glad they gave the Initiator, instead of the Speedaholic :-).
I was considering selling the Radius Nexus in BST, but changed my mind after throwing it a few times. Now I know what Tokyoyo felt when he was reviewing the Radius line - he was having a difficult time accurately describing how it feels, and just said that it just feels good. That is also what I felt.
It is extremely stable, very smooth. Spins 1.5 min on a good strong throw, probably might go longer with an nsk bearing. This is probably my best mono-metal right now (and I have quite a few). Shion Araya would be proud of this.

dude thats sweet! the radius nexus is from the recently refreshed batch yeah?

on Discord i was joking about how funny it’ll be if they gave one Initiator, looks like i was right :joy:

I believe so. I’m really liking it right now. I like the sound it makes when you play it - it is not loud at all, but gives a nice feedback. I believe Shion Araya focused a lot on how the Radius ‘feels’ during play.
The galaxy diver on the other hand is more quiet than the Radius Nexus.
I haven’t tried the Initiator yet since I already have a couple of Loop 2020s from last year. It does come with a metal spacer though, supposedly to adjust the gap.

Did it come with a single or double initiator? :slight_smile:

That profile shot makes it looks like a bimetal remaster Galaxy. This thing looks like it is at least 50mm wide. That color looks great! That mystery box you got seems like a great deal with the radius Nexus and the initiator with it as well.

The new golden hour yoyos ridgeline and my first spinworthy! The ridgeline is very interesting (and green :wink: @twitch77 ) it has some heft/power to it but at the same time packs a little bit of float as well. The ridges also feel great for grinds. Very interesting/chill yoyo.

The spinworthy takes interesting to a whole new level. Ive been looking for one of glen’s unresponsive woods for a while and it does not disappoint. Has a solid amount of vibe but still very fun! Very light floaty and nimble on the string with a super classic shape. Can also be played responsive with a slim bearing which is cool as well! Thanks @Glenacius_K for making it and @TheThrowingGnome for selling it to me! Very happy today!

The original algae bloom is impressive. This isn’t quite as good.
