I think ProYos/ProFlys just might be the best quick-mod yos ever. They can easily take Duncan Mod Spacers (as you already found) and Buzz-On SPR kits. The guts (well, bearing and bearing spacer) of those old Fakies (the skateboard wheel yoyos) fit perfectly in there with a flat rubber plumbing washer for response. The response O-rings used in YoYoJams (hitman, lyn fury) fit nicely in the empty space with room for an A-size bearing seat and bearing. So many options! For longer spins get some big fat O-Rings from a hardware store to put in the rims under the caps (just like the Freehand 2).
Yeah I don’t know what it is, maybe it’s how ubiquitous and affordable metal is now.
Personally i just feel much better throwing metal than plastic. I’ve even almost pulled the trigger on a plastic metal hybrid but I know deep down I’d end up using it for a couple weeks and it would sit in my case after that.
Got this in trade recently. I love this design, very simple looking, decent power from well hidden rim weight. The edge of the rim tapers down very thin masking how much mass is on the rim.
I had been halfheartedly looking for this one for short time now. Then @Roy_Dodge had to go make a video featuring one which added fuel to the fire. Found this unopened A-line and couldn’t resist. Compared to the original Cherry Bomb the A-Line has some added weight and is supposedly a harder plastic to keep the starbursts from wearing out so quickly. First few throws were pretty great and I haven’t even started experimenting with the weight rings or wood axle yet!
Nice! Glad it’s a good time - I look forward to hearing a bit more, as I have been debating whether to throw a few bucks at one myself or just wait for a nice Silver Series.
That Wheels is just a rebranded Butterfly XT, so you can put a Full Spce C in there if you want. The white Trans Axle also works well as a Bearing Blank in other throws that can take 1/2 Spec C bearings for responsive play. Ive set up a Bolt 2 with it on Fixed Axle Friday Throws
