I really like the weight and the response, although this one has enough wood vibe that pull starts are challenging. I’d say the wood vibe is equal to my 2019 Spectra Eh. Also, I was well aware of the vibe on this one before purchasing 
I feel like my maple feels KNack is about the same weight with equally consistent and predictable response, but totally smooth.

I also love the merbau Button. I had previously got a zebrawood one, and those response holes really make the design work well at both weights.

As most of you already know, the yoyo community has rallied to show support for John Higby, whose livelihood had already been severely impacted by covid, and who recently suffered some bad luck. One of the members of this forum who rose to the occasion is @bobafret , who sold me a TiShee at a very nice price. He sent all of the funds from the sale to John, and showed me proof of this, with my name attached to the gift so that I could share in the credit. I was already thinking to myself that this Bobafret guy must be one heck of a good human being, and then today I received this package.
Not only did I receive a Tishee, but also a wooden yoyo with John Higby art that Boba hand painted himself. In addition, there was all of the other accessories and swag you see here. Dave, you’re an awesome person and I hope your kindness and generosity come back to you a thousand fold! Thank you so much.

I just want to second that @bobafret is a great guy.
Also, I got this beautiful 1to1 from @nonja121, just two weeks after posting how much I love this colorway. Definitely an interesting, fun yoyo; I’m really enjoying it. It’s clearly wider than its diameter. I’ll have to measure for myself…

This thing gave me chills when I first held it. Unlike anything else I’ve had.
Kyo (By Kyle Weems) Tinman. A titanium that has a diamond coating. Real diamond. It has to go through an industrial lab process of some sort to achieve that coating.

Those Tinamn yoyos look great! I’d love to see one next to a Hitman for comparison.

It feels extraordinarily smooth. It’s really hard to describe outside of that.
I wish I could elaborate more. But I love holding this.

This also arrived today. Ti Genesis. I threw it a bit already and yes I do like it. Hard to give it the attention it deserves though when I got the Tinman today too

You wanna know something funny about me buying these. I never owned or played a yyj hitman or any yyf genesis. Lol.
As far as this ti Genesis goes though, I really appreciate the weight distribution in it. I never threw a ti that dissatisfied me but I was honestly a tad nervous about this one because its profile is not typically what I get. But it feels great. I dont know a lot of horizontal. I can banana turnover and bind. Still working on skin the gerbil but it is definitely easier on zontal than stuff I’m use to throwing (ti888. I throw a ti888 like 90% of the time lol)
I wish I could describe more. My cheeks hurt how much I’m smiling today. Both these yoyos are fantastic
