Sorry y’all, it’s gotta be an Attune.

Trying to compare weight by heft does not work too well.

Nice! The more I play my Attune, the more it is becoming one of my favorites. Definitely feels heavier than it actually is.

OMFG. Shinya to C3 with new sig yoyo already designed. Whaaaat! Just announced on stage at JN. 7075, made in HK, 4 colors.

Wow, that is pretty crazy! Especially having a sig yoyo already designed! Did you find a streaming video source for JN?

Schedule: 2013 Japan National Yo-Yo Contest (2013年全日本ヨーヨー選手権大会)
Add 13 hours from EST.

What next? Mickey will probably leave his own company for C3 ::slight_smile:

IrPads standard on all future YYRs according to Twitter rumors.

I’m surprised IrPads aren’t standard already.

Draupnir it is!

Looks like a large lightweight like the Overdrive.

Oof… That’s expensive. Titanium? Must be something we’re missing. Will post as soon as i find out what it is.
lol at Yuki and i both on Instagram trying to get the specs from people. Someone tell us!

I sincerely doubt YYR would sell titanium for such a low price but a guy can hope, right?

Yuki

It definitely looks different than their normal clear silver finish though right? There must be something going on for the price to be 5,000Y higher! Also curious if anyone knows what C3 is selling the Krown for? My guess was $135-$145.

It certainly does have that titanium shine… fingers crossed I’m guessing the Krown from C3 will be closer to the $110-$120 mark to put it in line with the Trident and the like.

Yuki

no credit for finding the name ??? haha i guessed right

Very good call on the name! Don’t suppose you can accurately predict specs as well? XD

Yuki

Only reason i guessed higher is because it’s 7075. Pretty sure their other throws are 6061, right?

Forgot to take the 7075 into account. Your estimate would probably be about right then.

Yuki

I think it’s funny how these companies charge a crap ton extra for 7075 throws when it only cost a few bucks more per yoyo being made in 7075

Please note: YYR uses 7075 aluminium alloy to seek their best performance. 7075 is not a great material for anodizing, so YYR yo-yos have anodizing imperfection and small spot, scratches on their bodies. They seek the best performance, not best cosmetics. standard warning w all yyr they are all 7075
