Same here. After much (much, much) deliberation I finally pulled the trigger on the Draupnir. Well, that and I didnā€™t realise they were in stock (thanks Slowyojoe, your post had a domino affect, haha.) What made up my mind? Well the way I see it, Stickman has like 50 Anglams and pretty much every high end yoyo ever made it seems. So if heā€™s raving about it and putting it in his top 3, then it must be something pretty darn incredible. _Looks at watch_ Whoop, looks like itā€™s therapy time. ā€œHello, my name is Scott and Iā€™m a yoyo addict.ā€ ---

As far as comparing the TiWalker to the dazzler its a little early since I havenā€™t thrown either enough to really have much to say. But, I can say the TiWalker has a different feeling on the string. Some people use the word ā€œcloudyā€ to describe how a throw feels and thatā€™s what Iā€™d say about the TiWalker. Some may prefer this feeling but I donā€™t really appreciate it that much. Itā€™s not that I dislike that quality its just not something that makes me enjoy a throw. The size both width and diameter are almost exactly the same while the catch zone is different. I can also say the two play different in the ā€œthrowā€ as well. I donā€™t read to many reviews that compare this or even write about it in general but how a yoyo feels on a throw is an attribute that I truly like or dislike. When I throw the dazzler I can feel how well its spinning or how fast the yoyo unwound but I canā€™t really say the same about the TiWalker. This is my first yyr and also my favorite yoyo so far. My favorite before was the chief then no real second as I really like a lot of others pretty equal as each has its own character. I can say my least favorite higher end throw is my second run peak. It just feels heavy and weird to me when compared to todayā€™s throws. Itā€™s also my oldest throw as well I think. Edit after more playing The Dazzler is more stable than the TiWalker. This doesnā€™t really mean much to the more advanced players but since Iā€™m more along the lines of intermediate it helps me complete the tricks Iā€™m learning a little easier. I worked soley on spirit bomb for aprox 20 minutes with both Tis tonight and actually returned the Dazzler to my hand for my first spirit bomb completion. I would guess I had about 4-5 good hours of trying this trick with the chief accounting for aprox 60-70% of the time. ---

Iā€™m gluten sensitive. I can only eat gluten free crackers, and these are more expensive than the dazzler. I am eating only celery for a month. ---

> [@Sanchez202](#): > > My draupnir came in the mail today!! I actually did some critical thinking. I have a Draupinir too, and I just couldnā€™t understand. How on EARTH is it so powerful?! the answer actually does lie in the rims. The 2 densities of the alu, considering steel is SO much heavier it makes the Draupnir have the power of a 70g yoyo. the power reminds me of the Dreadnought G. Its that powerful. But, it can be so light at the same time, due to the much lighter density of the Alu. Very smart concept. More people need to use steel as a yoyo. Its quite a genius Design. ---

Quick question for those who also have the tempered rim draupnirs. The rims on mine arenā€™t completely blue. More than half of one of the rims isnā€™t colored at all. How blue are you guys rims? It has a pretty neat look. Almost looks like the rims on mine have like and iridescent acid wash. ---

I agree with what you said. Itā€™s a interesting feeling playing a yoyo that feels so light and has such a powerful spin!! It DESTROYS the stereotype of a light yoyo being unstable. Itā€™s a very cool design. ---
