Ahh I see, so the new logo Draupnirs have the same gap width as the Attune Draupnir. Thanks for explaining~ ---

I absolutely agree with all of this. The New Valkyrie has been a most pleasant surprise. Very different from the original. The only complaint I have is that the elevated profile of the rim makes snap-starts difficult for me. I do not know why. Every time; all I get is a snap-wobble. ---

Honestly I didn’t even know Tempered Rim draupnirs existed until I read through the YYR Appreciation Thread. Didn’t think YYR was the company to do tempered rims 🤷‍♂️ ---

The question was about YYR making more of the original, Japan-made Draupnir; not the Chinese Overdrive Druapnir. YYR is making plenty of the OD Draupnir. Where is the original? ---

I am sure there is ample excitement that YYE is getting a restock of the OD Draupnir. There seems to be endless demand for that yo-yo. ---

Valkyrie is my favorite. It’s no speed demon but the stability and feel on the string are nice . I think one of my top 3 current favorites ---

The original design or the Newer updated model? And…. Do you have a Chopsticks Gorilla? If you have the updated Valkyrie and a Gorilla, can you compare the two? ---

I have the new Valkyrie and the gorilla both are great. I would say they really aren’t too similar other than the shape . The Valkyrie is a tank stays on plane super well , can be a bit sluggish but once you get it going it stays going . Horizontal which I am horrible at is not that bad on this I thought it would be much harder because of the weight but it holds it’s plane really well here too . I would say the chopstick gorilla is very stable especially for a slightly undersized yoyo. If you like to do a lot of tech this might edge out the Valkyrie, it also does accelerate better but I would say gets edged out on spin time by the Valkyrie. I think if you like this type of shape , like I do both would be a great option. If you want a tank that will spin forever get the Valkyrie, if you want something with a bit more speed that will fit well in tight space tech tricks the gorilla may be the one for you. Persobaly I like the Valkyrie it’s almost therapeutic in how it plays because it spins so long and stays so stable. Hope that helps ---

You have two Draupnirs? I always thought you were primarily a man of organics! It seems like the Draupnir has always been the poster child of horizontal and speed performance. (Are you developing a secret love for lightweight bimetals and competition tricks? :wink:) ---

i HAD two draupnirs…… and it’s a masterpiece - i have to find another. i admit it stuck out in my collection has a piece i could turn to to be flexible with tricks and try things outside my normal comfort zone. i’m on a march to find one again. it still sticks out amongst a variety of other bimetals i’ve tried, it does it’s job quite well and i’ll admit @nightshadow your cheeky humor and biting wit has kept me intrigued in all things HZ ---

> [@fatguysnacks247](#): > > Your cheeky humor and biting wit That’s a kind way of putting it. Perhaps a more realistic description would be putting my foot in my mouth haha. But you never know, keep up the Draupnir love, and I might walk in on you throwing a behind the back horizontal combo on a V shape quad metal some day.
