yeah i want that black blasted one too but strongly suspect i wont actually care for the yoyo
welp
Dreads play really light and bouncy.
It does impossible things cause itās so large, but it can fit into small places cause itās thin-ish for its size. There are tricks I canāt normally hit that I can with the Dread, but that could just be on me lol. In the past, I hated Dreadnoughts cause theyāre too large for chopsticks/make them super awkward, but the blasted one I have doesnāt die when you touch it. It makes you supah good at chopsticks cause you get uber good technique. Theyāre definitely great for speed combos, but mostly just a fun YYR if you just like messing around. Itās one of the more soulful YYR, if that means anything. If youāre into speed combos and want an oversized, 44 Clash is where itās at.
Iāve watched Darnell Hairston play with mine and itās pretty much the yoyo for his 1A style. Smoothed out everything for him.

Heavy for its size? Nah itās super light.
Yeah, the Dread is awesome, there are only two yyr yoyos that I donāt currently own Iāll definitely get into my collection, itās the Dreadnought and the 1st run of 44Clash. And probably the Overdrive too xD
I answer myself ā¦ yes! tolerance problems.
I got the laser today and really do not understand how in the face of such precision coupling of rings of steel there will be a total inability to calculate the tolerance of the bearing housing!
the yo-yo was tightened so hard that I was actually afraid to break it to open it and remove the bearing with a bearing-tool took me almost five minutes!
the only solution to make it decent was this, take a little over a tenth of a millimeter from bearing housingā¦
now the bearing is removed by hand, the yoyo closes flawlessly and no vibration.

Sure that those who assembles them in the first place is a fool to tighten them so hard and then should return them to the lathing ā¦ because even in the worst factory of Bankok can do better !!!
Now THAT takes some chutzpah! Good for you!
I agree, there is absolutely no reason to make the bearing seats that tight.
It s a myth that tight bearing seats can help reduce vibe. Like, maybe ideally when you never unscrew the yoyo, but even in that case a loose bearing seat wouldnt make it any worse.
I have seen plenty of yoyos smooth without a tight bearing seat, my 3yo3 Al5 being one of them.
Donāt think i ever took my Laser apart but i donāt seem to remember any of my YYRs having overly tight bearing seats. Certainly not YYF tight.
I dont have a metal YYR, but triad and diffusion are both that tight and had to be chilled in the fridge before I can multitool them out.
I own 17 YYR, the bearing seats are normally accurate, not allowing manual removal but nothing too complex ā¦ the laser is absurd, I only say that when I opened it there was the filing, because bearing had rifled the seatsā¦ imagine if they had anodized ā¦ it would be impossible to mount the bearing.
But the craze tighten very strong cups during assembly is one thing Iāve noticed for a long time (about z-on, mr. butcher, reclash, etc.) ā¦ Itās very wrong, maybe assembler should remember that the axis is steel but the cups are made of aluminum ā¦ which is very much softer!
Iāve owned 7 or 8 YYR and none of them have ever had tight bearing seats including my laser
I donāt like to put on the lathe a yoyo that has no defectsā¦
What can I tell You, my Laser will be born badā¦ :-\
I can sell you mine

Arenāt we still waiting on the Sputnik as well?? Cāmon YYR!
Holy cow, go check YYRās Instagram. New colors of Diffusion, Translucent greens and opaque black. New Draupnirs with new engraving for 44Clash. 44Clash edition Dazzlers as well. The Sleipnir is back with a gorgeous new geometric horse engraving. And also, theyāve announced thereāll be a pre-release of what I assume is a brand new yoyo, Invasion.
Edit: Nathan C beat me to itā¦
Looks like Iām getting another Sleipnirā¦
YESSSSSSS
Those Sleipnir, that purple Draupnirā¦!
Sigh, looks like itās going to be an expensive year. Gets out wallet
Iām so glad theyāre bringing back the Sleipnir. Fantastic yoyo.
