YoYoRecreation Appreciation Thread

We need to get you guys to look into the assassination of JFK.

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.

Agreed. The Krown is gorgeous, light as a feather and flies around beautifully, but I still feel that the Sleipnir is an overall superior throw.

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.

That’s awesome! What were your thoughts? Any details on weight/play?

How did it play? Was it light, was it stable? Give me all yor info!

Okay I need some help authenticating my Take That Sleipnir.

  1. Should it have the area without ano near the response like most YYR?
  2. Should the axle have a hex slot?
  3. Should the engraving be very bright and crisp?
    Thanks guys!

axle should have a hex slot and it should be silver not black oxide

engraving should be extremely crisp without overlaying

the ano chip is also an indication that its authentic

if you post a picture of the engravings it will be easy for any of us to tell

Will do!

Here it is

Feel free to use a photo of mine for comparison. This one is 100% genuine.


Could you also post pictures of the axle and inner halves as well?
If you need help, Julian’s post is always great advice.

Champion and Christopher looks morphed. There should be a perfect arc in the logo. Maybe it’s the camera?

And yoyorecreation Sleipnir looks different than mine does.

It’s a possibility. Here’s a better pic-


See how the T’s in Take That are different? That’s a red flag to me.

The lettering on all of the logo doesn’t seem very sharp. Even the H seems rounded in corners where it should come to a point.

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.
