Doompod, you seriously cannot use that language here. I don’t know if you are joking or not, but absolutely inappropriate either way. Totalartist, glad you love the Ricochet. I also love mine. I understand your reasons for getting a second and for getting a matching silver one, but if you can get a purple Ricochet I seriously do not think there is a more beautiful yoyo on the planet. It blows my mind every time I look at it. Thanks for the review, as stated, I already have one, but I love it and I’m glad someone else feels the same way. ---

Lol, yes! That’s exactly what I’m saying. Tell me what you learned from watching those guys play with the Ricochet. What, that they can do their tricks on it? Neat-o. Top players in the world should be able to do most of their tricks on anything they pick up. $200 titanium YYF or a ONE, doesn’t matter. ---

I am glad the focus is now on the yo-yo, which is great, rather than other distractions. You really made it hard for me to decide on getting another raw one. If that purple is as stunning in person, I’d definitely love to see it and add it to my collection. What a dilemma. Thanks for sharing your opinion of this great throw. ---

The Anglam only has Ti weight rings and yet it costs far more than this, yet I haven’t seen a topic bashing it like this one. I find it funny that if this was released by CLYW, people would be falling over themselves trying to get their hands on one, no questions asked. It’s clear that there’s a fair amount of general YYF hate underlying this topic, as there is for any thread involving YYF. Its a normal yoyo made of Titanium. No boundaries pushed, no fancy frills, just an affordable Titanium yoyo. It won’t be the worlds greatest yoyo, it won’t even out-perform the rest of your high-end aluminium collection. However… it’s shiny, it makes sparks, you can throw it out of a moving vehicle without it getting ruined, and it’s made out of Titanium, which is cool because it’s not a metal that your average person sees much. If none of this tickles your pickle, then you don’t have to buy it. There are plenty of people that will so leave it to them. All this talk of “thin walls” and “cross sections”… like all that even makes a difference. No Titanium yoyo is going to outperform a high end metal by any really significant margin, regardless of weight distribution. ---

Top players in the world should be able to do most of their tricks on anything they pick up. $200 titanium YYF or a ONE, doesn’t matter. The thing is, so should you. Unless you’re starting to learn/hit a trick, you should have no problem on hitting it either on a One or on an Anglam or on a Ricochet. When I’m first starting on a trick, it may be easier to hit it on a high end yoyo due to the longer spin time and higher stability, but once I have it down, I can hit it in any of my unresponsive yoyos. And if you haven’t seen the ricochet videos yet, go see them. ---

It has to suck!” Do you actually expect someone who just spent $160 to $200 admit that it’s not as great as the hoped it would be? Also I don’t see anyone bashing the yoyo. Can you please point out one post that is bashing this yoyo? I said I find the shape uninteresting. That is hardly bashing the yoyo. We were just asking what is the point in using titanium if you don’t take advantage of its properties? Because it sparks? Hmm ok. If you want a yoyo that sparks you could make the rims titanium and the rest aluminum. Because it’s shiny? You can make a lot of different metals shiny. ---

Great Review TotalArtist !! I would quote it, but it’s a bit long, and I don’t want to take up so much space ! :wink: I have to say that you really captured the spirit of what I believe most people would feel should they purchase one for themselves. I will add that the Purple version is such a different looking color for a Titanium throw, I happen to own both colors, and they almost look like different YoYo’s,… the contrast is that stark ! I also have to compliment you on the great photos you attached as well. You’ve become an exceptional photographer. Good Job. ;D ---

Well… if YoyoGeezer is a “king of derailment” as you say he is, then out of anyone here, he would know what it would take to derail a thread. So if he accuses you ( which he didn’t by the way , he only said " all by the same people" so doesn’t exactly mean you, but as they say the guilty dog barks first) I’m probably going to believe him because he knows what he is talking about since again he is a “king of derailment”. ☹ ---
