it’s you who won the auction, congratulations!
what exactly is a YWETI or something else?
Untitled.
Which is cool.
yes I saw it from the auction but I don’t understand what it is.
a new model or a 1/1 version of an existing model?
is it made of titanium or aluminum?
Thanks for the clarifications
Oh, I honestly don t know much about it myself, just what they had up. But it’s a d bearing, 19mm response, thin axle, and that’s what I’m 100% on at the minute. When I can confirm more I’ll let you know, I’m curious myself.
Had a great transaction with @MoonageMin and I managed to pick up a unknown PLSTC
It’s a great plastic yoyo, feels very slick, if it was a tad heavier I could swear it was made from delrin. Performs exceptionally well for a plastic yoyo.
Glad you like it!
What do you think of the response? Do you find it slippy?
I think it feels ok for now, I haven’t really found it slippy at all. Maybe because it’s a brand new string? I’ll see how it feels after the string has worn in a bit.
I really dig it!
Ah maybe it’s just because I use a thin string. And also I should have broke in the pads a little but so maybe I wore off the shiny top layer. I’m really glad you don’t have any slippy feel on it. I wasn’t sure if I should sell as new or sell with the pads swapped out. Glad I just kept it as new in that case
Yeah it could be, I tend to use ammo and I sometimes find that it’s a little on the thicker side.
I’m really impressed with how the PLSTC plays. Great feel on the string, almost feels like it’s metal by the way it handles tricks.
For a plastic it performs insane. I just couldn’t get over the way it binds but I can see it pairing really well with Ammo.
Given the color scheme, I suspect it’s a titanium Fluchs
I got this beauty from @vegabomb a couple days ago. I’m really enjoying it.
It sure took its time getting here, but my first D bearing throw just arrived. All laced up, but not yet thrown.
Ok, so I finally got my new Spinworthys in the mail (after just shy of two months), a Bloodcell and KNack, both in Spectraply! (ok, maybe not today, it’s been a couple days, but I just put in a 65 hour work week so I didn’t have time to post about it).
Here are a few pics of these beauties:
And here is the whole family (the blue one is the Harbinger I got earlier):
Ill post some first impressions since I just got them a few days ago. Ill start with the KNack, since it has since become my go-to wooden yoyo and I have experience with both the beech and the white oak. Well, it’s a KNack and it plays great. Id place it between the beech and the white oak in terms of weight (not as light as the beech, not as heavy as the white oak). Personally I still prefer my beech (basically my unshakable grail wood at this point), but I like the spectra more than the white oak.
As for the Bloodcell, wow! I have gradually come to favor yoyos of mid-sized (or old school normal) diameter, and this Bloodcell is like the wooden version of it. Unlike the KNack, where I think the spectra is a tad bit heavier than the ‘perfect’ beech version, I think this is the perfect weight for the Bloodcell - without trying any other versions ofc. This thing is smooth, and the catch in the hand is incredibly soft. It also kickflips like a demon and I immediately felt comfortable doing all of my 0A tricks on it. It is also powerful enough to do smooth tape-measures and stuff despite being a small diameter, which surprised me. This thing is a killer yoyo without a doubt.
I wasn’t planning on talking about it, but since I pictured it, the Harbinger is worth my opinion as well. Consistent with the KNack, it plays lighter than its older brother in white oak (can’t directly compare the two atm cause someone tried to unscrew it and broke the axle ). The Harbinger is a slightly more difficult yoyo to play with compared with the other two, but not in a bad way. This thing plays as smooth as silk and has a really nice presence to it. The Harbinger is the yoyo that made me impressed with Spinworthy, and to have it in beautiful spectraply and have it play this great is fantastic. Here is another pic:
edit: @Glenacius_K - thanks for the great yoyos!
Grasshopper GTX. Been waiting for awhile for this colorway to ever become available again. Good thing it showed up during national yoyo day.
Damn that looks nice!
Awesome pick up
That’s my favorite Grasshopper GTX colorway too! It is so classy looking! Congrats!
@mynameisjoey @zslane Thanks!
A little late, but this was a few of solid packages! @anon17117379’s memento, and a few trials of ZipLine and Airetic strings. The card is from the Parks with the ZipLine purchase, and wow, what a sweet gesture.
