Covering up the Laser engraving is a shame. Must be powder. Can’t ano steel and aluminum together afaik.
It’s a powder coat done by Wesley Cheng.
The logo is partially visible but definitely harder to see. I could have had him leave the hub raw I suppose. That might look interesting. I don’t really care about the Laser logo though. I wanted the e=mc^2 coated and got the Laser done for just $10 extra. I’m very satisfied with the results.
What do you mean about “can’t ano steel and aluminum together” ? The steel rims were left raw. They look purple in the pic due to flash reflection.
If steel is left in the anodizing solution, it would dissolve, which is why a YoYo with steel rims or inserts can’t be anodized. And yea, I was about sad the logo had to be covered too :(.
I just meant you would have had to remove the steel inserts if it was ano’d, which is why i assumed it was powder. I remember when i was looking into ano’ing my Draupnir and Laser i learned that putting steel in an aluminum anodizing bath is a very bad thing.
YYR needs to release something soon, I am just itching to light some money on fire but there’s really nothing out there that jumps out at me. The best I have done in the past month was a Cypher on the BST for $30 and I expect much much more from myself when it comes to obsessively buying things. It doesn’t necessarily have to be YYR but the Sputnik looks sort of appealing and YYR has had more huge hits with me than any other company as far as throws purchased:throws loved goes
Get a Palpitation. They released some sick colors today. I got a blue x shocking pink blast
Finally getting a draupnir!
Audley just released the equilibrium and an awesome looking irony jp
Along with the new anodized palpitations look amazing
Forgot I still had that 10% off coupon…Equilibrium order has been placed. One left. With the worlds coupon it costs $153 shipped, pretty nice…
By the way I assume you meant Werrd on the Irony JP. It does look pretty cool. If I win a gift certificate for my worlds predictions (5/6) I think I’ll pick one up if they’re still available.
You bought an equilibrium on YYE?
Also good job on guessing 5/6, how much do you get for it?
Good first bi-metal? I was thinking Leviathan 4 lite, Laser, or Draupnir.
All of those are amazing. Seriously. You’ll love any of those.
Get a Palpitation. Expect some splashes/blasts to show up soon on that big international store whose name I seem to have misplaced. If only I could go back in time, say, using an inverse function for the “fast forward” on my remote control, then perhaps I could remember it.
RotationEquipment too right?
EDIT:
Sorry I was tired.
Remember to EAt your Waffles wIth a New, Diamond fork.
Something appears to be wrong with my shift button :S
Got yours yet? Sounds like you are expecting this to be one of the very best!
/off
If the OG irony jp is a western yoyo tuned for speed play, the new jpx is now completely an asian throw.
Oh, I skimed your post last night, now I get it.
Nice! Where does one find specs on this? Is the overall weight different or anything else? I can only find one online store that seems to carry it (alas, not YYE) and there are no specs on the page.
I’ve found 2 of them.
