YoYoRecreation Appreciation Thread

That is an extraordinary perspective. While I do not own a Dazzler, I had the opportunity to throw one for a couple of hours last month while on a trip to Japan. I also got the chance to throw the Draupnir at the same time, which resulted in me buying the Draupnir.

I have over a couple of dozen Titanium YoYo’s, and have learned a few things about them. The first thing is that the alloy a YoYo is manufactured from, in no way insures it’s performance. I also learned that Titanium is not a native resource to most countries and therefore is quite costly to import in many countries, which is what drives the outrageous prices you pay for them. While I was very impressed with the Dazzler, and will buy one when my friend Andre is able to sell me one, I just could not put it in the same league as the Draupnir. I respect your opinion, but would be very curious to hear what exactly gives the Dazzler the edge in your analysis? I do not own many YoYo’s that I would compare to the Draupnir. Out of a collection of 400 YoYo’s, it’s about the only YoYo I’ve been picking up lately. I do still love my Anglams as well I should say.

Out of my Titanium collection, I can honestly say that only a couple of them rate in my top twenty from a performance perspective. I’m not a professional thrower, but I have been throwing pretty much my entire life, and at 55 years old I have seen a lot of evolution in YoYo’ng in the last five years. Titanium’s are fun, but the alloy is just one element in what is required for developing an “Epic” YoYo.

I look forward to finally purchasing a Dazzler myself to further qualify my opinion, but I do not believe it will change much. I honestly feel that the Draupnir is a game changing design, with a huge upward degree of scalability in how far they can continue to improve upon its performance. I can’t wait to see what they release next as it’s contemporary.

That’s just my opinion.

Is the draupnir your favorite yoyo of all time? Your favorite YYR?

I can’t speak for him, but it is probably the 2nd best yoyo ive ever used, and the best YYR

Second to? …

[azunyan]

the pulsefire, only because it is meant for exactly my style and needs. Yoyorecreation makes amazing yoyos, and when I’m not using the pulsefire or crucial yoyos, I still love YYR and I love owning them.

Looks like a Dazzler x Triplet.

LOOKS DARNED GOOD
But it looks to be solid 7075 Alu. No steel rims etc.

^ Thanks for the heads up mate! I question how it can perform so well with so little (perceived) rim weight. At any rate, I’ll wait until some of the more die-hard YYR fans here pick some up and give us some reviews.

Hasn’t this been already answered? The way that it can perform so well with so little rim weight is because the makers are wizards/alchemists!

Ordered. It’s bi-metal i think, just has the weight lining the rim which could be interesting. Probably a bit heavy for my tastes but we’ll see!

Really? I don’t see the second metal!

[RobK]

Anyone know if we are going to see ano’d lasers?

[YoyoGeezer]

I ordered one too. It looks like the second metal is inside the rim this time. As I understand the YYJ patent, the Lazer would not infringe; since that patent only covers multiple materials on the outside rim edge.

That may be the real breakthrough…

@aznnboyaZ

100% now that i look at it closer. Color and obvious seam. Don’t think i’ve ever seen a bi-metal have quite this design. So pretty. Will look stunning in ano. <3 YYR

@RobK

For sure, but from raw to ano for the Draupnir took at least 3 or 4 months. Maybe since they’ve got it all sorted out they’ll be quicker.

[Pineapple_Jumpsuit]

I see it now, I’m on the fence, I really want one, but it’s so heavy!

[YoyoGeezer]

If I am right about the YYJ patent, I wonder whether the ano’d Lazers will be heading for retailers?

Guessing it’s gonna play like a Gleipnir, which i do find a bit heavy, but then again rim weight does some interesting things so we’ll have to see.

@YoyoGeezer

I’d say they’re probably happy with the margins they get selling direct, but they sell Draupnirs at atleast 4 or 5 Asian retailers so maybe they will try and get more product over here.

[ImPerfectooo]

Okay, so I know I’m a little late but what is the Draupnir’s made out of?

[aznnboyaZ (UmeNagisa)]

Thankyou Nathan!

And They’re Steel!

Wait. I’m confused. It says 67 grams on the website. Which one is it?
