What did you get in the mail for 2020/2021?

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.

Iā€™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 Doveā€¦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:

Ermā€¦ 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; itā€™s what the OneDrop Clique should have been. I donā€™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.

One sold on here for $125 a while back. Paid a little bit more for mine.

I seeā€¦ iā€™m a total novice when it comes to anti-yo :joy:

People going crazy over anti-yo recently. Everybody looking for anti-yo. And i really have no clue why anti-yo is so hypeā€¦ :sweat_smile:

Are you saying that the dove can grind? Iā€™ve wanted a grindable plastic for a long time, as I have some tricks that utilize them and I usually canā€™t do them when Iā€™m throwing plastic.

Delrins are smooth. Itā€™s not like normal 20$ plastics, itā€™s machined not molded.

iā€™ll speak for myself - i canā€™t for anyone else - the anti-yo throws tend to have an ā€œorganicā€ shape to them, which is what i prefer to play on, and appears popular in some circles right now. this applies to the canvases (also very popular right now) the a-rt line, etcā€¦ thatā€™s why iā€™m digging them up.

So Huatian (the brand that made the Rotor. That slimline that sold out almost everywhere) have this awesome little undersized bimetal with a fantastic engraving on it

As you see it has this little lock tie or whatever so I guess you could prove it is still never thrown if you are a collector who eventually trades or resells.
It comes with all these goodies. A pin, stickers, extra padsā€¦ I did not get a string with it though lmao. But that is no big deal

Than it even has this card with its specs

It is also calledā€¦
ā€œBansheeā€ lol. Dont confuse it with the G2 Banshee. This is an undersized bimetal. I have given it about 30 minutes of play today and really like it. The engraving is not great to fingerspin on but thats my only negative opinion. Its light enough to not feel like a bricky undersized throw. Its very stable and one of the smoothest yoyos I purchased.

it depends, I approached this world in 2008 and since then I have sold one and only one yoyo ā€¦
They remain in my collection also yoyo which I find disappointing.
