I’m pretty sure that it’s not Iizuka in the picture. It looks like Tachibana to me, but I really want it to be Ahmad Kharisma’s sig. I really like his style.
On a side note, I got an e=mc2 yesterday at Penn States. I was never really interested in it before because I just thought it was a clunkier Blink, but I tried it yesterday and I just had to have it. It cost me a mint BvM2… I still want a Blink though. A lot.
Also, a couple days ago I received a Krown. It does feel like a cloud on a string, and just flies. Although when you throw it, it does have a surprising clunk at the bottom of the string and feels heavier until it starts to move. IMO it suits Shinya’s style better than the Sleipnir but the Sleipnir is more well-rounded yoyo.
It’s tachibanas signature, I got to try it for 3A at worlds, he also used it to compete. I think Ahmad may get a seperate sig though, since he had a different yoyo at worlds, and Yasuki was the first person to use the song Laser last year.
Observing the print, it seems as if it was slapped on the body.
Notice how the entire engraved circle is off to the right by a tiny bit.
And the entire print and logo does not look crisp. Notice the rounded edges.
Also, the space between the Christopher and Chia is not as uniform as the rest of the text.
There also seems to be no difference in font thickness when comparing ‘yoyorecreation’ to ‘Sleipnir’. But it might mean that we need better images.
Also, YYR doesn’t (to my knowledge) have a hex hole for the axle.
Also, is the bearing well flat or concaved?
And do you own any 70-ish gram yoyos? Apparently the fakes play a lot heavier than spec weight.
Okay no problem I guess. But this still plays amazing. It makes me want to pick up a legit YYR! The bearing is a KK, super smooth. I’m going to weigh it tomorrow. Also, the pictures aren’t the best, I’m using my phone.
Where are you at? Maybe someone at your local meet has one, and could have you try it out.
Then you could compare side by side if he/she has a Sleipnir.
