Nice Selene! If you like the Selene then you will love the Cadence too! Way to upgrade that string also!

Iā€™ll have to look into that! I just spent some cash on new thread so Iā€™ll be attempting to make some much nicer stuff soon! Kitty string is definitely the way to go for now!

Thatā€™s a really cool colorway!

Sick! Iā€™ve been hesitant to pull the trigger on another TopYo. My Silenus was my first foray back into throwing and my first unresponsive throw, and I love it. Those swirls on the Selene are the hotness. Can you give us a mini-review?

Iā€™m probably not the best for this cause Iā€™ve only been throwing for about 6 months, but @Durfee has one just above this at the 1400 mark, and Iā€™m fairly certain heā€™s much better than I am lol. That being said, I would second everything he says, Although I really enjoy wide yo-yos! And this one is wiiide. I like the weight of it, as mentioned above itā€™s quite nimble and quick, and wants to be floatyā€¦ but isnā€™t? When I do plastic whips and lacerations it just seems to hang out in the air for a second. Not the most powerful throw Iā€™ve used, but has plenty of kick! grinds are incredible on this thing if youā€™re into that, and itā€™s also pretty great at finger spins. All in all, I really enjoy it thus far. Itā€™s kinda similar to the od benchmark v, but a little more powerful imo. If youā€™re into wide yo-yos Iā€™d definitely recommend this. Also the color ways are quite sexy! I got this one on yyt simply because they had the colorway I liked.
Also worth mentioning it pretty much requires a good string. I used regular yyf poly and it was pretty much unusable. Works fantastic with kitty regular though.

You donā€™t have too much longer to wait. I honestly forgot it was coming and thought I had two more weeks. Made this week much more exciting.

Ran out of fresh neon yellow strings for the first time in years. AMMO was my favorite standard poly string when it was first released andā€¦ yep, they still are to this day. Havenā€™t had any in over a year since I ran out of my last 100 pack of them but decided to splurge this week :grin: thanks @MattB youā€™ve made some new formulas since then but these are still def my favorite

Will probably pick up a few packs of airetic in a few weeks too.

Howā€™s Tiny Epic Mechs? I love Galaxies, but Quest is just okay.

Yeah, I love Galaxiesā€¦also really like Ultra Tiny Epic Kingdoms which I got in a cool monthly mystery box (board game bento). I love games that can be fit into small packagesā€¦and this one packs a lot in itā€™s tiny little box!
Unfortanently I started to get out of collecting board games before trying any other Tiny Epic games out. hahaā€¦Iā€™m so far behind that I wasnā€™t even aware Mechs was a thing till seeing your photo!
