Does anyone know the purpose of the notches on the Triad? They just seem like an eyesore if they have no purpose…
Now, that Diffusion… IT LOOKS SO GOOD.
Just like every other yoyo with similar marking, they are there I assume to line up to have the most smooth play.
I mean the ones on the inner rim.
While I am sure here will always be a need for another plastic yoyo N8dogg is right. The Diffusion is one fantastic yoyo. It is smooth, comfortable and “absolutely out of this world.” I am really happy to be among one of the first to have one.
How would it compare to say, a rally, or yeti. I realize that the prices and materials are different, but I would still like to know.
How does the diffusion compare to the triad?
Or how does the diffusion compare to the rally, or the crazy-d (similarly priced but a bit more expensive)?
I’ve been thinking about a plastic but I’d actually like a delrin (which technically is a thermoplastic) better if the performance is good.
im getting mine monday or tuesday, will let you know then!
also have the negators coming in
It is very different than the Rally and the Yeti. It’s smoother and faster than both. Of the 3 the Yeti is still my favorite. I love the Yeti’s size, stability, material and feel on the string. I rank the Diffusion greater than the Rally and I’m happy I purchased a Diffusion instead of a white Rally (I already have 2 Rallys anyway).
The Diffusion is smooth and fast. That’s really how I would describe the yoyo. It’s also beautiful. So clear and gorgeous. It plays vastly better than last year’s Diffusion that it really shouldn’t share the same name. The new YYR bearing is also really nice.
Apparently a signature prototype
I don’t think Shingo Terada has left Duncan yet, could it be Masahiro Terada’s? I don’t know who he’s sponsored by…
Do you think the Diffusions would be good for practicing 3A? I was going to just buy another Laser but then I realized I’d end up smashing the hell out of it while practicing initially so I need a less damaging way to learn. But it’s also occurred to me plastic yoyos might break if they collide. I’ve never used any except looping ones which never collided. Do you think the Diffusion is durable enough to handle repeated collisions?
It seems like it really is what I thought, Masahiro Terada used a prototype at YYRFC this year:
I have never played 3A, that being said, the Diffusion product description says this about durability:
“They used a new manufacturing technique to mold the yo-yo halves out of one solid piece, no side caps, so the hardware is actually built into the yo-yo! This provides a durable and functional design…”
It seems very durable. It’s very stable. For the price I imagine it could be very good for 3A practice and dings would not damage the throw a very large amount.
I got my Triad in the mail today.
Wow! YYR does it again. Fast, maneuverable, solid and spins like a … Draupnir.
This is the plastic version of the Draupnir. I would have to say this is the best-performing plastic/metal that I have yet tried. I know that some have hesitated over the price. Let me put your mind at ease. This yoyo is worth every penny. Simply a fabulous level of performance from a plastic (or; for that matter; any) yoyo.
I hope that they are able to be sold here at YYE. Everyone should put this beast into their bag. It outperforms most Metal throws on the market that cost twice the price.
Now, I must try a new Diffusion…
I think if they could sell them here they’d have arrived with the Diffusions. And it looks like the design infringes on YYJ’s patent. I mean they never sold Draupnir’s at YYE for the same reason, right?
got my diffusions and traids in the mail today!
Diffusion feels a lot like a lighter dazzler, triad feels like a heavier draupnir.
I lie the lightness of the Draupnir, but I think I could bear a heavier version. Is the Triad as stable as the Draup? I think this would be the only element that would make me buy a Triad rather than a Diffusion.
they are both very stable.
Damnt it!
I was like “eh nice, I don’t like the Triad that much, Imma just get a new Diffusion and save a bunch of money” and now I want a Triad badly 
TBH the Triad isn’t as smooth as the Draupnir or Diffusion. It’s definitely stable and performs like the Draupnir in many ways. It feels quite weighty as I said before on the string. I’m thinking because the weight is really concentrated on those rims whereas the Draupnir is more forgiving in that it spreads out the weight a little more albeit having most of the weight from the rims.
