Iā€™ve been playing the YJYoYo Radiance pretty much exclusively the past few weeks and wanted to share some thoughts. The yoyo I want to compare it to the most is the Surveillance. It plays (to me) like a wide Surveillance with recessed silicone pads. The response system feels very similar to recessed silicone with the string proportions needed to bind properly and offers comparable snag resistance to well recessed silicone (I normally use the tip of a guitar pick). It also plays much lighter than I expected from the specs, similar to the Surveillance in my experience. Iā€™d say the Radiance feels even a touch lighter but I could be off in that assessment, after playing it so much I could be a bit biased playing them both back to back now. I really like how it plays, it totally makes sense as a signature for someone with Nam Dong Hunā€™s playstyle. The double rims look very cool but Iā€™ve had to take a q-tip to them once already. The bind sound, which is an incredibly important factor in picking a yoyo up, is 11/10. This and the Mensch are at it for favourite yoyo Iā€™ve played this year. ![20231204_163847](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/a/4/4/a44aa2a814c0be18f9b27ca43f948277361569da.jpeg) ![20231204_163747](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/b/7/0/b703910ee600321c47fba98378c2f3b1c1648e8e.jpeg) ![20231204_163635](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/6/e/9/6e9261628739b858f9c7b8362bf6eaeacb977299.jpeg) ---

This yoyo interest me so much cause the response system, always looking for something ā€œanti snagā€ and improvement in that area, wondering from your description if this yoyo will need silicone instead of the ā€œstandard padsā€, also nice to know about the weight it was taking me off from buy it, I think maybe for Xmas I will buy this seems so cool! ---

It comes stock with standard pads. In my 3rd pic you can see the pads arenā€™t flush against the walls but I havenā€™t run into any issues because of this. I donā€™t think it will _need_ silicone more than any other yoyo needs it, up to your preference. Iā€™m sticking to pads for now. If you get one I look forward to hearing your report after you inevitably grey it up! ---
