It was hard to decide cuz i love orbital gtx and haymaker x but i been throwing my grasshopper gtx i got 2 months ago its probably the best a bit bettet then the orbital gtx it has so much power. Now i know why they made a big deal about it i been throwing it more and its my main throw
Grasshopper gtx and the exit 8 are perfection . I liked the yoshicuda also but it was vibey and It bothered me.
So apparently the red pads are competition pads. That have a very short life span. Maybe a couple weeks (MAYBE). just from my experience. I changed them out for whites and my freehand 1 feels nice again. Before it would slip out of every bind. I dont think the red are worth buying over the white. Seems like you would be buying pads every month lol
I have my plastic Freehand 1 set up semi-responsive. I found that the spin dies too quickly with the white pads.

I picked up a Ti-Freehand about a month ago, and it has really left an impression on me. It doesn’t play like an OG Freehand and it doesn’t play like the new Al ones. I have it set up totally unresponsive and it is one of the nicest organic yoyos ive ever thrown. It is extremely well balanced, light, and just a joy to throw. Blows the Gravity out of the water when it comes to fun factor imo. I imagine that most of the people who bought these were collectors who don’t play collector yoyos, but this yoyo has had a lot of thought put into modern organic play and it shows.
OG A bearing Exit 8, blasted blue. Even though it’s cracked some knuckles.
Now, Orbital GTX.
I only have two, a Grasshopper GTX and an Exit 8. Both are great, but the Grasshopper is probably the best player out of the 18 yoyos that I own.
Id love to see this throw.
im really enjoying my grasshopper gtx at the moment !!! if you pair it up with some yysl kapow string it will play like perfection !!! also i really enjoy throwing the barracuda, and windrunner (7068 version) they are both great throws !!! you should totally try them out one day
Mine’s long gone
But…
I remember grinds being talked about as so old news at this time, but I have just always really enjoyed them, so this blasted version was sweet.
The current bi-metal Exit 8 is nice as well. Probably a tie for me between that and the Tourney.
Same here i like it bit more then the orbital gtx might sell that and sone others it has so much power very stable mine is the beutiful red
Awesome
I just got a gtr its very good and powerful its like the grasshopper gtx but more power i love it get one
So i like to share with duncan my love for the gtr they want to know what we like about it and if i can write to them i will go thru u. its powerful very stable very fun not too heavy it looks heavy but it’s perfect. as i mention here in forums its a bit similar but more power then the grasshopper gtx i own and i own few bimetal from Duncan the response pads red are excellent as well. i can see more guys use it for competition too
i feel like a young child in this forum not knowing that there was an old monometal version of the Exit8
The mg is top tier!
Killer collection, the green Mg is easily the coolest of the bunch in my opinion. The Taka Freehand Pro is also super cool.
