YYJ Surge Questions

[ArchersAxe (Chad A)]

Hey! I just have a couple quick questions about the YYJ Surge.

With in the introduction of the World’s Edition Surge, I’ve been a little confused as to how the YYJ Surge comes set up. I understand the World’s Edition comes with O-rings and no silicone response, but does the standard YYJ Surge come with O-rings as well as silicone response?

Secondly, how does it play? Is it stable? Could you compare it to the Speedaholic?

Thanks in advance!

This is what I see…

Surge has everything you would come to expect in a high end advanced yo-yo. It features YoYoJam’s signature Solid Spin Axle system, silicone response, and a smooth spinning Speed Bearing (10 Balls). Off your first throw you can FEEL the power of it’s spin surging on and off the string.

NOTE: Worlds Edition come standard with Black O-rings which create a responsive play geared towards beginners. Can be Changed to unresponsive play with YoYoJam Silicon set (Sold Separately).

YYJ Surge Stats:
Diameter: 58.65 mm / 2.31 inches
Width: 41.40 mm / 1.62 inches
Gap Width: 3.55 mm / .14 inches
Weight: 70.7 grams
Bearing Size: Size C (.250 x .500 x .187)
Response: 19mm YoYoJam Silicone Response

This says to me that the standard version comes only w/the silicone response. I think that’s pretty clear from the text in the ad.

Just gonna address a couple of things:

Why they would us rubber rings instead of YYJ’s new pads seems a tad goofy. It costs them probably a few pennies less for rings than response pads. Then again, I got a post-BAC release model with YYJ pads and it’s exactly how I would want it.

Play?
Very solid feeling, the body is entirely plastic and solid to get the weight right. It plays heavy to me. Fun, but more heavy than I prefer. The Chaser, being heavier, plays faster and lighter. I only use that for comparison purposes. It is extremely stable.

The Speedaholic is lighter, faster but just as solid and stable. It’s just different. Different shape adds a lot to how it performs. I haven’t played my Speedaholics yet.
