Shai, how old are you? You seem to have had a lot of professions.
basepi, thank for explaining to Shai (and me) why his wording caused such reaction. My wife has trained me to see some patterns in speech that are offensive, but I still fail to understand why those patterns elicit such response. So while Shai may not care, I do, and am grateful for the explanation. Thatâs, like, some sort of whisperer gift or something. 
Back on topic. I do not like the green Draupnirs. It is not so much the color itself but if Iâm spending that much money, I better well love the color. Iâve been drooling over the silver(raw?) and black matte though. I love purple too so I would snatch one of those up if I had the funds. Time to make some ebay listings, me thinks.

I think Iâm 28. Donât really remember.
Studio42 was really helpful. The only real resemblance I see with Shai and Studio is that they have/had very firm preferences. Their opinions are strong and they could careless if you disagree. Shai makes very long post, like studio42. However, I still find Studioâs contributions a tad bit more helpful. The time that I was on this forum when studio was still around, he spent less time on whimsical (color) arguments with other forum members. Iâm not saying your opinion isnât valued Shai, just that I feel the Studio42 comparisons arenât very accurate. Youâre comment about people not liking Studio42 is true. I had no beef with him. Itâs hard to be friends with everyone when opinions are so conflicting and strong. Youâre not Studio42 Jr. Youâre Shai. I guess you already knew that though.
As for Emerald Green, I really donât care for the color. Purple looks better IMO.
Iâve argued about color exactly once. And it wasnât really an argument, just me stating my opinion and people not liking it. Feel free to ignore the 60 or so hours Iâve put into writing reviews, though, and focus on the 30 minutes Iâve spent here talking about green yo-yos. I think we can all agree thatâs fair.
I have no dog in this fight, but Shai, câmon, take a chill pill. It honestly seems like you just want to argue with everyone.
Back on, I donât know, the threadâs topic: I realized I currently only have one YYR. Need to find me a Butcher stat!
I had an attuned gap Draupnir and I just received a regular gap one. I can honestly say that I prefer the regular gap. I have had no issues during play, and it makes fancy binds easier IMO. I must be crazy but I also prefer the look of the raw silver to the matte black.
Whats a bob?
Itâs what theyâve decided to call the new matte black Draups with the wider gap. Itâs the same gap as the Attuned version but doesnât have his name on the new ones. So theyâve settled on âBobâ.
Quick question. I got a Diffusion2 from a trade last week and sold it a day later. Befor that i noticed a few marks and assumed it was just casting marks from the when they were being made. Just want to know if everyone had the same marks and it was not damage. I sold it as MIB because i assumed that it was not damage but casting marks.
Can anyone help clear this up.
To be more precise, this is what I was talking about

Not the multiple mold rough spots.
Iâm always chill (and have taken chill pills today already, thank you). People just get the impression Iâm not because I donât express myself well. 
So I should be getting a bunch of YYRs (and one yoyojoker) soon. Got a matte black Draupnir arriving Saturday or Monday, maybe a Z-On arriving soon if I get that trade worked out, and an E=mc^2, Gleipnir, and yoyojoker luminous coming tomorrow.
Iâm wondering which of these are worth keeping? Besides the Draupnir obviously ;D
I have two Diffusion 2âs and checked them over. On both halves of each there are rough spots exactly 90 degrees apart (i.e, 4 per half). Iâm not sure if this is the same in your picture. Itâs hard to tell without a super-high-res photo. Yours is high-res enough but the contrast is not good, so IDK.

You can see two marks on each yo-yo on the lower rims. The easiest to see is on bottom left of the left yo-yo and bottom right of the right yo-yo. I canât see the ones on the higher rims in these photos but can in person. Are these what youâre talking about? If so itâs normal.
Oh BTW, earlier today YYR dropped two new colors for the Diffusion 2. So now there are clear, clear yellow, clear blue, clear red, and white.

Of those, the Luminous is definitely a keeper. I really regret selling mine, but Iâm not a huge fan of the rim:center weight ratio. Those plastic inserts irk me.
I thought they were acrylic? I get your point though. I like yo-yos with high rim weight too, since they tend to be the most stable and long-spinning. But thatâs Yoyojoker for you, breaking the norms of yo-yo designâŚ
I sometimes get the feeling that yoyojoker deliberately look at the norm and go, âyup, weâre not doing thatâ. Itâs produced some great designs so Iâm not complaining.
As for the marks on the Diffusion, itâs hard to be absolutely positive but they just look like the usual machining/mould marks to me.

In my picture i am talking about the dent next to the 4 rough spots. Look at the black box area. To the right is the normal 90 degree rough spots.
Also, I guess I need to buy a white diffusion now. lol
Shai, I wasnât coming at you. Things like color not just color are things that ya often have strong opinions on. I didnât say you werenât helpful at all. I merely pointed out that the studio42 comparison isnât exactly accurate. Youâre very different in youâre own ways. Youâre reviews are great and youâre BST is very detailed. Just ignore any nice thing I have to say about you though. Itâs much easier to take offense.
Color doesnât even look like a word.
Stop poking the bear ._.
