A fellow yoyo collector had them, i traded all of these plus more for my OG catch 22 way back when and they just sat perfectly in a pelican case ever since.
Long story short i commented on the red one on instagram saying ill pay anything for it, he just responded with "these are actually your old ones! Im so and so " and he was kind enough to sell them all back to me.
For sure! I feel like I’m always prefacing my posts here with “I’m a newbie” but I started throwing in January 2023. Of the couple of yoyos that I have, I find the Kamuraiju to be the least stable. My form has to be pretty good otherwise it goes off-axis.
Does it still have the OD flat ten ball bearing? Flats will go off plane easier than centering bearings and that could be what your noticing if just that one feels weird out of your collection

I finally made this SB2 in original tortoise my edc. The knife laws changed in my state so I had to bring my folders out of retirement. I have no open pocket space. And I won’t put a throw in my pocket with change or keys or say a folding knife. The SB came with a totally satisfactory holster, so I’m using it. Thanks @fatguysnacks247 for this score, heck I even got the og bill of sale!
Playing around with these two heavyweights. They are listed at 120g and 90g, respectively. I blame @Glenacius_K for making me curious about heavier yoyos. That said, I think the Steadfast is definitely better than these. These two — an Enso prototype and a Dif-e-yo Monster — are probably better paperweights than they are yoyos. They return inconsistently and reluctantly at that!
One more since I have then with me. Not actually playing these today.
Both are G2 Ti Hawks. The electroplated blue is beautiful and more of an electric blue in color … not as deep as it looks in the picture. Some wear here and there from use but not that noticeable due to the shine. Even with the wear, one of the most beautiful yoyos I own. I’ll probably move on the blasted finish; I don’t need two and don’t do grinds anyway. Just a really fun yoyo.
