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

How do you like the Photon? I want one so bad, but they just don’t come in a colorway I want >.<'. They look like a really fun little yoyo though and are at a great price!
I do actually like most the colorways the yoyo comes in…I’m just super picky on what I add to my collection (:green_heart:)

I found the Photon to be too wide and too heavy for its diameter. I think it would have been a great little design if it was a few mm narrower and a few grams lighter.

Jeeze…I hadn’t even looked at the weight of it. 67+ grams.

I like it! For the price it seems like a good deal. I’m somewhat new to this whole unresponsive thing, so I’m sure I can’t appraise the actual rating of it like an experienced thrower. I’m a sucker for pink, but also dig the red/gold.

How is it??

Actually I appreciate thoughts from less experienced throwers because I too am not all that experienced and can’t push yos to any limits.

In what may be my last yoyo purchase for a hot minute, just got a One Drop Prescription! When I visited One Drop back in November and played with a looooot of throws, this one stuck out to me. Glad I was able to grab one before full on lockdown! Now to fill all my spare time throwing it!

This concept has run through my head, a yoyo review from the perspective of a white belt. :thinking::thinking::thinking:

Unique :joy: It has the shape and spin of a horizon, but with the feel, catch zone, and play of a mono metal Marco. And the finger spin hub is just a ton of fun.

I’d love to see one of the top reviewers bring in a few new throwers and have them review some of the throws that get suggested as good for beginners.

Straight from Recess, it is their exclusive colorway torched by hand.

Haven’t received anything in a while but I couldn’t pass up a good deal and a good a trade. And also, @fatguysnacks247 is a great dude for hooking me up with this case (despite the very pronounced vibe) and some string (zero vibe).

Also, my first One Drop (not counting the SK that I traded for and sold), and my first offstring yoyo that isn’t a Viper.

How long can a wish last?
Sometimes a few days, other months, sometimes a few more years … Or a whole life.
Mine lasted nine long years!
But finally you are here now !!!

Another shout out here to @fatguysnacks247 for hooking me up with this OG Banshee! Snagged the pens & inks from Goulet Pens.

Fountain pens:
Diplomat Magnum (fine)
TWSBI Eco (fine)

Glad someone else loves the sumo!

Congratulations! You have a Sumo in the very rare orange color (which was supposed to be the standard color but gave a lot of problems) and with the font of the initial writing, you have a very very rare object!
Do you notice the differences with mine? (which is not a standard Sumo … And it is a unique piece)
Later I post a group photo of my Sumos :wink:

Yeah it looks more like a plugin. How’s it play compared to the original?

They look like 2 different yos to me. Not just all the differences with the etchings…but the rims of yours have a flat spot where the one of Joe’s doesn’t. Also the cups are slightly different (yours is smoother, where Joe’s has some…ripples (haha no idea what word to use here).
