YoYoRecreation Appreciation Thread

@Shai_Hulud

Finally, I haven’t seen any significant expressions of the claim that the TiWalker is the best titanium yo-yo ever produced. And I’ve never talked to anyone credible who thinks it’s on the level of modern high-end Japanese yo-yos such as the Draupnir,

From the “Draupnir .vs. Ti Walker” thread:

@Alphuh

TiWalker dog.

Also own both.

TiWalker fits within my preferences, but the Draupnir performs better… if only by a hair.

@YoyoGeezer

Unlike many; I have both.

The Draupnir is the only yo-yo that comes close to the amazing performance specs on the Ti Walker due to the design and the titanium material in the Walker.

@slowyojoe

I also own both. My suspicion is that the ‘Bob’ Draupnir would be a conventionally better player, but only by a whisker. The Ti-Walker outstrips my rim-colored Draupnir. Regardless of these facts I enjoy the Ti-walker way more.

@YoyoGeezer

I have both. Anticipating your next question; I like the Ti Walker better because it has better weight distribution for my tastes. The Dazzler is very even in its weight distribution - almost neutral. The Walker seems to put a bit more weight on the rims without making it feel heavier.

In terms of play, the differences are minimal. Both are as fast as you want to drive them and they have just the right amount of float when asked. Both are superb (it is YYR after all); I just find I like the Walker a bit more.

@SteveB327

Own both. I think the Ti Walker plays better. For me the weight distribution on the walker is perfect.

I was under the impression that the Ti Walker was one of the best yoyos every produced, regardless of material…

I was tempted to pick up a Dazzler at one point, but then I bought a YYF Ricochet and realised that just because a yoyo is made of Titanium doesn’t mean it’s going to be anything special. When I can buy 2 or 3 great yoyos for the same price… I think I’ll pass for now.
