It’ll be sold exclusively on the YoYoExpert store! Only 30 ever produced and each one individually numbered out of 30!

Yeah, I guess it makes sense. Looks like a really nice Al yoyo, but so special it needs a little numbered certificate? Perhaps it is, I’ve never thrown one. People do love the goodays.

Yeah I mean all I know is I really like it lol I’m still in the honeymoon phase with it I guess but I seem to like it more the more I throw it. I’m not as well versed in YoYos as most of you but I’ve personally never throw a yoyo as smooth as it at it’s weight and width.

I believe you, the reviews are great. Its on my wish list, which is quite extensive at the moment. Im back into throwing after a loooong hiatus, so have some catching up to do. I`m very courious about the final version of the Mamba 7068, love the shape of the proto.


Got this beauty in today :slightly_smiling_face:

I’d even argue the necessity to number Ti yoyos lol, but I must admit it adds a certain aesthetic that z lot of people find appealing.

Yeah I have no problem being the example in this case.

I like it a lot so far. Its strong suits are probably being comfortable to hold, reasonably wide, and very stable. It is also pretty light. I have never played a Float but its kinda how I imagined one would play. The finish grinds super well too.

Do you have anything 44mm wide you can compare its width to? YYE specs list 45.85 but the blurb says 44. That honestly affects how much I want it.

It’s actually really easy to figure out the width based on the height using simple measurements of the image. I do it all the time accurate to within roughly .2mm.

I just measured the width of the Absurdity, assuming the height is correct, it’s ~45.8mm wide.

Awesome

Yeah it feels more like to 45.8 that 44 to me.

Ah @chaosgow confirmed a few days ago here that the YYE figures are the correct ones.

Also the float is a lot more floatier in my opinion from the experience of trying all 3. It actually is basically half way between a float and a monocle as the blurb suggest.

I think the most accurate description would be powerful but light?

Float is more like ā€œfloat like a butterfly sting like a beeā€ haha.

I’ve slowed down on picking up yoyos in the past year or so but got my first for 2020 haul - Delrin Gamer, YoyoFriends Dove, Turning Point Diamond Virgin, and YYF Skyline.

I do have to say I am initially impressed with how Rain City packed their Delrin Gamer and gave us options to tune the yoyo to how we want it with different bearings and pad thicknesses. My sweet spot was 1 thick pad, 1 thin, and the slim bearing.

Skyline feels nostalgic, like 2010 era YYF when 50mm was the norm and hubstacks were cool. That was around the time I had discovered modern yoyoing after a long break. The Turning Point visually reminds me of some of the YYJ models with its broad shiny rims, power of a full size throw in a small frame. Also needed to further scratch that undersized itch. Lastly, the Dove…man this thing is smooth, grinds for days (if a yoyo was made out of a wet bar of soap and you tried to grind it, this would almost be it).

Satisfied with this haul for the new year :slight_smile:

Erm… what about an insatiable love for the color green? Asking for a friend.

The Turning Point Diamond Virgin is so good!! I was surprised it got so little attention on the forums; it’s what the OneDrop Clique should have been. I don’t think many people realize this is a bimetal undersized throw, same diameter as the GeneralYo Mini Star 2 in fact which also is an amazing throw in its own right.
