**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.

Looks fun!
question about the response system. The specs on YYE read, “Response: “Slim Pad” Size 19mm OD”. I’m assuming this is wrong based on the above picture.

I honestly don’t get the appeal for writing on yoyos… a lot of the times it looks so tacky and ruins the yo-yo for me…

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 🙂

“These look vintage… but the actual material formula has been tweaked”.
NOTICE…..Disregard the above information.
Since Ben… from Yoyofactory gave the 1 like to beheinz63 reply, it’s perfectly clear that I was given ‘misinformation’.
Since I’ve known Ben for about 25 years.. I probably would have preferred he had contacted me to let me know my statement was incorrect.
But, then again, there I go thinking, lol…
Sorry for the error.
