Not terribly concerned about what material it’s made from as long as it plays well. If it’s even half as good as the old Sleipnir, I’m sold. Yuki ---

the 2017 is an aluminum cheaper than the 7075 … I also see the prices of the first two prototypes (same model, unnamed): - $ 87.10 for 7075 version - $ 77.50 for 2017 version ---

> [@YoYoJordan](#): > > I’m very curious on how well the new material will do, I trust YYR, I’m sure they made a good decision! I can’t wait for mine! I am not sure how much you can “trust” YYR when buying a prototype. I think that the reason it is a prototype is that it was not meant for production yet; for whatever reason. It could be a great pro to of a classic-model to come, or it could be a failed experiment. The only way to “trust” YYR is to wait for the released version. ---

The only way to “trust” YYR is to wait for the released version. I feel that same way, that is why I did not jump on the protos…I did want the Blink but that’s it. Having a proto does not mean that it will make it to final production, throughout history prototypes are discarded, improved on yo the point that the proto and final product don’t compare in any way, and protos can be failures and are just more or less reference point on how the final product should be according to the standards that was developed to become final production. …the Uragment is cool in my book. ---

there is some proto yes but the Sleipnir 2017 isn’t a proto (of maybe it is but it’s not written) that’s why i prefered to buy this one 🙂 ---

Hello all, I am new here just started picking YYR and was lucky enough to get the protos and the Sleipners and The Dreads (big thanks to Agredano1 for giving me the heads up) I have a question for any one who got the 2017 Sleipnir before it sold out how does the English translated description read? For example here is a copy paste of my confirmation below. Any assistance would be appreciated. Happy throwing!

I am in no way implying that these are not amazing throws. Just that if you want to “trust” YYR; you can only do that with a release. Everything else is subjective. If you get one of these proto’s; I would love to see pictures and hear your thoughts on what you receive. I want to live vicariously through those that took the risk 🙂 ---

I bought one of the Sleipner 2017 A Grades. I think curiosity got the best of me on this one. Now that YoYoRecreation has undergone such a large transition, I really want to try one of the new Sleipners, even if it’s not a release. The Sleipner I bought is not labeled as a “Proto”, so I’ll just have to wait and see that I end up getting… ;D ---

Ok so as you may have figured the top two are the new Dreadnaughts then below that in the center is the new 2017 Sleipner yup its raw and the red writing in the center is a hand written 2017 to either side obviously is an old school Sleip and then on the bottom left to right 2017 proto blink in the middle and 7075 proto on the right. I’ve yet to string them but I know a lot of folks wanted to see them so … Happy throwing! ---

Those two raw ones on the right look like Messiah/Blink hybrids or something. Interesting. ---

It’s actually a little bigger than the Messiah I don’t have my micrometer on me or a scale but its a couple mm taller and wider pretty close on the weight. ---

Just received my 2017 Sleipnir! Plays pretty close to the regular 7075 sleipnir that I have, feels a tad different, give me some time to figure out what it is. Also, by trust, I meant I trust that anything YYR sees fit to see released to the public is gonna be awesome.
