YYF Titanium Confusion

Yo-Yo Reviews
1

Hi all- just wanted to leave a short review on my first ever titanium yo-yo, the Ti Confusion. Wow- what a pleasure this thing is to throw. I was able to save a little money and pick one up that was barely used and I have to say it was totally worth every penny.

I own the original aluminum confusion and a number of other metal responsive throws but this is my first Titanium throw. The difference between this and the aluminum version of the Confusion is significant. And much of an improvement. It’s heavy, but not too heavy, it spins beautifully and stable, and tends to sleep about 50% longer than the regular confusion.

Anyway- that’s basically all I wanted to say. I probably won’t be buying any other titanium yo-yos for a long time but I’m really happy this is my first one. It’s just downright incredible. It’s so good that I’d venture to say I would have been willing to pay full price had I not been able to find a used one.

Do any of you other players own one of these/have any thoughts or opinions on it?

I don’t own one, but I’ve wanted one since they came out. I’m not really interested in taking the risk at MSRP, but I think you did great getting a like new one at a discounted price. I envision it to be a great EDC.

Does it play responsive or unresponsive?

Also, props on the Mint General Snus, wish we could get everyone off cigarettes and dip and I to actual Swedish Snus for health reasons. Been using that brand and flavor ever since it hit the USA. (Disclosure, anyone under 18, I don’t advocate for tobacco use at all, but if any adults use it, I’d prefer the swap to Swedish Snus as studies have shown no link to cancer.)

We are restocking the aluminum too.

I don’t want this to be a pretentious collectible.

This one is for player :+1:t2:

Ha nice it’s great to meet another Snus fan. They are far and few between in my area. This forum really is “my people”. I’ve come home!

I think this is one of yoyofactory’s best yoyos for its vision.

It’s totally worth it in my opinion. A wonderful responsive yo-yo. A heavy hitter with a great balance between the modern and the retro.

What’s weird about the Ti Confusion is the decision to make it TEN GRAMS (!) heavier than the regular Confusion! Don’t believe me? Well, believe the frickin’ scale, then!

Alu confusion, 58g

They are roughly the same size and shape, but it’s hard to tell, I feel like the weight distribution may be a tad different, but TEN GRAMS heavier means this thing plays like a beast… so much momentum and power.

They are really two completely different designs. The Alu Confusion is very chill, awesome responsive, and the Ti Confusion is so much heavier .. it plays like a turbocharged supercar, you have to be careful you don’t hurt yourself or others with it, and you can go really, really fast (e.g. the monstrous inertia and spin power). I do wonder what they were thinking with this… :thinking:
