hey guys, haven’t been on here in a while so i figured i would kick off my small list of reviews with the new YoYoFactory 44… Now they call it the 44 because we all know that the number 4 sounds close to the word “yo” in Japanese, so 44 would be “yoyo” lol… thus the name, 44… now that we got that out of the way let me go ahead and give you guys the full on review:
OUT OF THE BOX:
Now when i pulled the 44 out, i noticed 3 things…
-Undersized
-Large Bearing
-BOSS Clone lol…
Now holding the 44 i definitely liked the feel, the Matte/Blasted finish was definitely a plus. And the colors are flawless and Beautiful. Something we expect from YYF (and they deliver every time). I held up the YYF Boss and 888x up to the 44 and saw that it was definitely in the same family. I also noticed this thing felt a tad heavier then both in my opinion, and i also noticed it was a few Mili-Meters smaller then the 888x. So about the same size as a Wooly Marmot…
FIRST THROW:
Now i threw it down a few times only to bind it back up, the bind is nice and tight. Doesnt slip, Doesnt slide, it comes up nicely…
NOW FOR THE FREESTYLE SECTION:
This thing Rips! the heavier weight definitely helps out a lot. It makes up for the smaller diameter in a big way… very smooth, no wobble or vibe. its easy to throw around and try new things. the gap IS a tad smaller in my opinion so this definitely is not a beginners yoyo. But it IS an awesome introductory yoyo into the metal family if you’re looking to upgrade from plastics. Grinds are definitely not a problem, Arm grinds are little tricky and definitely nothing you would do over and over again with this throw. But finger and thumb grinds are definitely smooth…
The Cons?:
Well i noticed the if you don’t throw the weight around right it WILL die on you in the middle of freestyles. But ONLY if you dont throw the weight around right… I compared the 44 to my YYF Boss and its just that… a clone. A much much much more improved version lol…
Sigh And Now For THE CONCLUSION:
An over all good yo-yo… Definitely not for the beginners, But not bad at all for intermediates. I’m going to give this yo-yo a 8 out of 10… Only because this is a shape we’re all familiar with and is nothing really groundbreaking or new… Just a much improved version of an older model… Definitely something to try, But nothing to wait in line for…
ANNND NOW THE PICS!!
Sorry Guys… My Photobucket account is acting all funky… i’ll try and get pics up ASAP!!!
So Feel free to post what you think of this review, or PM me any other questions you may have on this throw… Hope this helps guys, and most importantly… THANKS FOR READING!
