Fun (and maybe sad) fact: My signature colorway is Diamond Snail but it was supposed to be Purple base with yellow and light blue splash and the annodizer just completely botched it and we got the colorway on the Cascade. Here’s a pic of side by side with the proper Diamond Snail colorway on a Top Deck:
That’s really interesting, I wonder where the miscommunication came about, and it is a shame that colorway likely won’t be ran on anything else since it looks great as well
I bought my first metal from OneDrop (a cherry red M1…maybe 2006?). Then bought a chocolate brown Project…many yo-yos have followed. Two have even been stollen, my kids took my Dang, and my project two. Oh well, keep playing guys. What is this D bearing thing I cannot put down called- anyway, been here a minute. Got my bluegrass fade M1 and my collection of M2’s, what I need is a new Novus because mine has been lost to time and I loved it. Also huge fan of anything with a d bearing (so fun) , and the nickel plates. Anyway, keep making great throws guys. I will continue to buy those I do not miss.
I really like The Perspective. It’s balanced with differently-shaped halves. And it plays well so it’s not just a gimmick.
Given their further research into the “Dark Side”, Boosted versions, and other experiences since then, I’d like to see if they can go anywhere else with the concept.
more specifically, it should not exceed the diameter of the side effect like ultralights so there is no overlap on the hub like a flat cap where string could get caught between the side effect and yoyo half on a laceration.
Now that I think about it, I was throwing my noma and 54g2 back to back today and it’s a similar hand feel to the 54 g2, and it has similar external specs. The response area is very different, as is the weight. The spintime of the 54 g2 is incredibly longer though. Really makes me wonder about a boosted version.
I should clarify, it wasn’t a second desire, it was a continuation of the first paragraph. Saying that their experience since releasing it could inform where to take the Perspective. I can’t imagine them making it more organic but they don’t necessarily need to make it more competitive. There’s more than one direction. I’d buy a boosted version if it happens to be that, though.
