> [@Yoyo](#): > > It has a bit of a hollow feel to it and it plays very fast with great stability and long spin times; it doesn’t really seem to slow down through combos. With a good bearing you won’t feel it on the string at all but it punishes poor throws with lots of wobbles. I can’t wait then. Also found a MIB Grey one from the latest run for $210. Hoping I can afford that ---

> [@YoyoGeezer](#): > > …Really? What a load of … nonsense. > > Kickback… Yeah right. 🙂 Yes, I’m making it up… Or not. Not making it up. Nope. You understand that it’s a thing rooted in physics, not perception, right? I’m very against people taking their perceptions and passing them off as reality. It’s just not a thing I’m down for. So when I make a claim about a physical phenomenon, you’d better believe it’s a real thing. Did you even watch the video in that other thread clearly and graphically demonstrating it? You know, it’s OK for someone to not like something that you love. And the feel of the Draupnir on the throw is awful for me. I have other yoyos I can throw, so why bother? The Draupnir is definitely special, ground-breaking, and does perform excellently once it’s going. But that initial feeling is enough for me to go, “There are other yoyos I’d rather be playing. A lot of them.” ---

I don’t think Greg actually owns one, which may be why he doesn’t like it. It takes a bit of getting used to compared to other yoyos. This has probably been asked before, but how does the rebellion line compare to actual YYR in terms of quality? ---

Any idea if YYR is going to release a new batch of colours for the draupnir? I kind of want to pick up another as a backup throw, but I don’t like any of the other colours besides the matte one that I have already. Any clue? ---
