The heavier Turbo Grind ‘Mutant’ is exclusive and only purchasable as a ‘set’ with the other Turbo Grind Machine.
Way back when YoYoFactory first started setting world records, redefining contest yo-yos and the tricks that could be done on them they had an idea. Pads below the surface, to generate spin and response… on bearing yo-yos.
It was novel, it was cool & it kickstarted the next generation of yo-yo design and play. They still have love for these old pads and the warm response it generates in a yo-yo so they retried their first metal yo-yo shape with these classic pads that they now have again made available to the world.
The play characteristics are tug response that allows smooth slides on the string. Its a very beginner friendly setup and also great for modern responsive play. The lenses add weight but without the caps its already a nice solid yo-yo. Lubricant can be added to the bearing for an even snappier response but players familiar with the day will soon rediscover their love for the pads with a dry clean bearing.
Comes complete in box with: Yo-Yo Pouch 2 non removable lenses, 1 pack string, 2 replacement retro response pads.
For those not sure of response system - they’re the vintage (styled) cork pads. Definitely a fun yoyo (I have the regular Turbo Grind Machine), been enjoying some 0a action with it
