RBC today. All these teasers of a Polycarb El Mijo have me wanting a plastic RBC…
Thoroughly enjoying my freshly siliconed and new bearing swapped Wooly Marmot 1. This was my first CLYW back in the day, I’ve had it for forever and still love how much fun I have throwing it.
Does it feel like a mini Peak in your opinion (as in float and play) or just a different animal altogether.
Example, the Pickaxe doesn’t play like a mini Chief, it’s a different animal (which I still love )
what a classic!
Oh that’s really pretty spinning…
Been throwing these all day. I knew I was going to like the Emotion but damn it’s so good in every aspect. Don’t sleep on this one
Yeah, definitely agree the Pickaxe doesn’t feel much like a Chief at all.
The Peak and Wooly Marmot definitely have more similarities. While you’re obviously not going to get that full sized feel, the best way I could describe a WM1 in relation to a Peak is that the WM1 is a lot more “nimble” and “zippier,” while the Peak has more power and heft. The shape and hand feel is verryyy close but the play has those slight differences.
The closest thing to a WM1 in my opinion is actually a Hatrick. Both the WM1 and the Hatrick were my favorite two undersized yoyos for years and years back in the day - and I realized recently that it’s because they’re so similar. They have similar weight distribution and are nearly identical dimensions wise. VERY similar throwing experience between the two.
Here’s some comparison shots for you king:
WM1 and Hatrick
WM1 and Peak
someone needs to make that
Thank you brother, and the picture comparisons are much appreciated.
That’ll be the next thing to hunt for then, a WM1. Still going to be pricey, but nowhere near a Peaks pricing, especially if I can find one with love marks
Man that is beautiful!!!
Thanks for the love on the emotion. Agree with you 100%, the play feel is out of this world fun for a mono with that much stability/performance
