Iā€™m not usually buffing anything. Iā€™m a patina lover. I had some 12000 finishing paper in a kit. Used only a tiny section no bigger than a cm2 and trying to be as consistent as possible. Probably not the recommended way, but turned out alright :yo-yo: ---

That Nickle Black Canon looks so good! And I really like the choice of the brass SEs with it. I know what you mean about landing tricks with it. Sometimes I do really well and can land most of my regular tricks, which makes me feel fantastic. But then Iā€™ll turn around and completely miss a basic trapeze, which makes me doubt everything. ---

Getting mixed messages from this new spintop (non-return top) with a picture of a yo-yo on it. Does it want to be a return top? Is it telling me I should burn my yo-yos? What is Mark trying to tell us? Like the top, btw. I have another quicksilver with a different style tip and it plays way different. ![IMG_20231017_125304940_HDR](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/1/d/b/1db028519ba0eea7dbee7eb71ee207b984f8f2ba.jpeg) ![IMG_20231017_130631575](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/c/9/a/c9aa947c5f45321ab11065bbf60c059cb3e06db1.jpeg) ---

Had to whip out my Dā€™s. Got the Mazal Top hybrid D bearings in last week so I took out all these to replace the bearings. I had more than I thought, so the Kun (center) just got a clean bearing, not a hybrid. Also not pictured is the Respawn Lite, which will also not be getting a hybrid. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/4/f/b/4fba26cf63ba955ca13dc6934623e2fce4216f55.jpeg) Clockwise from top-left, @jakebullock Nicky Rebound Jack Bullock Slim Rebound @hobbygod Dressel Designs 5050 Dressel Designs Assassin Jordan Bliesner Ti Fallen Angel @ExYoyoAddict David Yoyos Dreamland @moefv Few and Far Between The Vow @GWAY_Throws DareDevil ---

Thanks to my boy Jdauer was finally able to try the W1LD at DXL on Sunday. Since itā€™s so similar to the Klondike, Iā€™ve wanted to compare the two for awhile now, and ideally with the Kagerou as well. Luckily I was able to compare all 3 back to back! ![IMG_5523](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/8/0/7/807aa829bfe6e8cc2e0f6b293e1d75be3c2d4873.jpeg) ![IMG_5522](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/2/1/0/2107358fd299a84a4e0d89821a27f68b07457393.jpeg) Klondike, W1LD, Kagerou - as you can see, they get progressively wider from L to R ![IMG_5533](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/c/a/6/ca678839cf90956744ce3c3db5879ca736d07b5a.jpeg) Kagerou, Klondike, W1LD ![IMG_5541](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/2/2/7/22798c9bb260ed5f71d3edc0253d0acf1dd01c2a.jpeg) Hereā€™s my thoughts: The Kagerou is probably the most ā€œperformantā€ of the three but is by far the most uncomfortable. I think the W1LD strikes a nice balance between performance and comfort, but is still edged out by Klondike in the comfort department. The angle of the rims (on the Klondike) just make it quite a bit more comfortable on the catch/give it a better hand feel - you can see the rims flare up a bit more on the W1LD and Kagerou, giving it a bit of a sharper feel. And obviously performance is no issue, you just might get the slightest, tiniest bit more spin power/time out of the other two. Keeping in mind that these three yoyos are all powerful, solid portion of the yoyo spectrum - Kagerou feels the most solid and dense, whereas Klondike is slightly more hollow and floaty feeling, with the W1LD being a bit in between. Kagerou feels the most heavy, while Klondike is a touch lighter and moves about with a little less effort, while still maintaining supreme stability - W1LD in between the two again. Iā€™ll say this - if you already own a Klondike, youā€™re not missing out on owning a W1LDā€¦ IMO, if youā€™re on more of a budget, theyā€™re too similar to justify owning both since the differences between the two are _subtle_ (and vice versa, if you already own a W1LD - you can probably feel comfortable passing on the Klondike). If you sprinkle some DaVinci DNA on the Klondike, thatā€™s basically what a W1LD feels like, and you can quote me on that. The Kagerou though Iā€™d say is just different enough to justify a purchase if you already own either a Klondike or W1LD. The problem for me though personally is that I just prefer the Klondike so much more still. All in all, after trying these, Iā€™m more convinced and happier than ever about being on the Klondike train. These are undoubtedly some of the best performing yoyos available today and I _still_ prefer the Klondike over the other two. Yes, that is my preference. But after passing em around the meet and getting opinions, it seems like Iā€™m not the only one who feels that way. ![IMG_5536](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/3/c/5/3c574c78420cd683f3ab7b04f40a152d95ece5a1.jpeg) ---
