What? I find the Draupnir to be incredibly stable. I have not noticed any issues with spin-time or stability with the Draupnir. My Draupnir has the spin time and stability of a Gleipnir, while weighing a mere 64g.
To those that are praising the Dazzler over the Draupnir: do you guys own more than one Ti throw? I wonder whether the properties you are raving about the Dazzler; are really properties of Ti vs. Aluminum?
Dazzler, Aurora, Hyperion, Sovereign. None play as well as the dazzler. I really find the dazzler is holding it’s axis stably with my noob-level technique better than anything. Even the stealth ogre. With a much lighter feel on the string than the stealth ogre. It is not just a property of the titanium. It is much better than the hyperion, which is probably my best playing Ti.
lol you might be the first person to say the Draupnir lacks stability. Definitely think a lot of your and Rob’s complaints(and praise) fall under the user inexperience category, no offense of course, but hopefully as you guys play more and get more skilled you’ll see where some of these yoyos really shine.
Yea I too have a small Ti collection-Dazzler, TiWalker, ricochet, aurora, Soveriegn, Hyperion and some others on the way. I’m strictly judging the dazzler by its playability nothing more nothing less.
And when I say the lack of the Draupnir’s stability I’m just comparing it to the throws I praise/prefer. It is a stable yoyo by alls means, especially at its light weight. It plays better than the majority of my “small” collection and can say that with only about 30-45 minutes of throw time on it. The Dazzler has just ruined my yoyo purchasing since it is truly the most stable throw I’ve used and it doesn’t play super light which is a plus too.
Yea. I agree and my post on the last page mentioned pretty much exactly what your post says. Once my throw improves I’ll enjoy the less forgiving throws more but the super stable ones will always have their attributes as well
OK, got to get a Dazzler on the second run. I hope YYR does more Dazzlers soon. I also hope that i don’t have to call someone in the far-east to get one. Any one know whether YYE will actually get some?
Last time I talked to yyr sales rep they said there was enough interests to make another run and there could actually still be “one” for sale. There was “one” left a few weeks ago and if it sold it was bought by someone that hasn’t posted about buying it. Email the website or pm me for info on contacting the rep.
Black blasted Draupnirs in stock. They look amazing. Really want one, but figure 3 Draupnirs is probably enough for now, but wow the blast looks great.
Black blasted Fragment. DreadnoughtG in mystery boxes had a light blast. Black blasted Dreadnoughts. Stargazers and a few others had a blast here and there. 2011(?) Clash had a green blast. Maybe a few others. Definitely not as common and on that Draupnir looks so good. Might have to think about getting one and clearing some space.
I have a black blasted fragment. I like it, and my draupnir, enough to consider a second draupnir and get one of the black blasted ones. It looks great. If I knew it was coming so soon at the time, I would have waited.
You guys are killing me. The red one looked great but now this black blasted Draupnir looks too good to pass up plus it gives me a chance to buy a Messiah that I’ve wanted forever anyway for dirt cheap.
I better like this dumb thing =P I knew that routinely checking this thread despite not owning a single YYR would eventually come back to haunt me
