This is Bi-Metal done right! The new YoYoFactory BiND is Nate Dailey’s first bi-metal signature model. Forget steel, you want weight. The BiND brings the competition winning profile from the ND yo-yo to the next level with hidden BRASS internal weight rings. This delivers extreme stability without the bulk. It’s sleek, powerful and super stable.
With any new concept there are risks. BiND wasn’t easy and even after YoYoFactory completed packaging they went through a second round of hand testing before shipping just to make sure everything was just right. You are in for a real treat with this one!
No… It doesn’t play heavy. I’m really glad you asked about that. Because from many years of modding yo-yos; I have a habit of weighing yo-yos, parts, etc.
I have 4 digital scales. And I’ll weigh stuff on at least 3 of them; for consistency.
When I tried the BiND; I wasn’t near any scale so I just didn’t give it another thought(at that time).
I ‘do not care for heavy or heavy feeling/playing yo-yos’.
68 is pretty much the cut off point for me.
Or; if it even ‘feels’ 68; I’m out.
The BiND gave me no such impression. And I am sure of that because I never weighed it.
Realize that a 67 gram rim weighted yoyo is missing a little clarity.
It’s not just that the yoyo is 67 grams. It is how that 67 grams is distributed within the yoyo.
This yoyo actually feels nimble. I would not call it ‘float’ necessarily.
It is quick and does not have that ‘slug’ feel that sets in to many yoyo designs as the final weight creeps up.
They cracked the code with this one.
As I said; I do not like heavy or heavy feeling yo-yos. I don’t care who makes them. What a good price they may sell for. Or if somebody gives one to me for free.
Just don’t dig em.
I’ll have to get a moose in your hands to see if you can get over the weight . Handed it to Gentry and he thought it was like 62 grams even though it more like 72
Odd… Must have missed that one earlier, but if @yyfben2.deactivated says we have them then we have them. I’ll get pictures up later today - If we have them…
Huh, this is like 3.5g heavier than the ND Ultra on my scale. Seems to be all in added rim weight, so if you like the shape (bell) and want more raw horsepower over the ND or ND Ultra… BiND it is!
