YYF Severe Review:
Looks: I got the black version it looks great. The side caps are cool. 7/10
Play: It plays better than a dv888 and a dark magic 2. But mine devolped a vibe after two days. Nothing major. But in play it is stable and accurate on the string. Some gyroscopic precession but that might be the flat bearing I am using right now. Grinds are better than anything even my Gnarwhal thanks to the Delrin 6.5/10
Durability: Seems durable. I managed to get two surface scratches 8/10
Comparisons: It can hang with the gnarwhal, but the vibe turns me off from it a little bit. I t blows the Dark magic 2 out of the water. It destroys my old dv888 in terms of play and looks. It’s vibe is comparable to a grind machine type vibe. 7/10

In conclusion, this is a great throw that should be considered if you have a spare bearing and can handle some minor vibe.
Update: I fixed the vibe by using some teflon tape around the axle. This is a beast of a throw regardless of minor vibe. Also YYE is sending me a new bearing. Hooray!
Note: I do the the finger thing to smooth out my vibe when testing and that usually is able to smooth it down a ton. Also in the string on a hard throw you can feel it vibing. But it is manageable. Also it comes with Red pro pads which wear out in the blink of an eye. So I ordered some Shinwoo p-pads to try in it. Will update when I put them in.
