NVx Cafe
yet another new annodise pattern, i actually kinda like it!
not sure what this NVx will be called, but the file name is NVx cafe.
Timeless Plastics
haven't seen new Timeless yoyos for a long time, went to YoYoSkills.com and saw these!
Timeless is making plastics! pretty solid looking plastics.
little info is known. according to Chris' entry, it seems that Timeless is planning to retail them at about 20USD. somewhere there, not exactly though... i kinda like the Gemini.
*an update from Chris, the Gemini's going for about 80USD, so, at that price i guess its a delrin yoyo. sweet.

the last collab was using a Wooly Marmot, this time, it seem like a Campfire to me.

Hyper Yoyo 2010

Shinwoo Hi-Power ZEN
look what i got from korea.
remember Zan-Navi?
remember Shinwoo Phantom?
what about Shinwoo Griffin Wings?
the Korean Yoyo Maker that brings to u the affordable yet high performance yoyo now has a metal.
the Shinwoo ZEN.
......pictures......
......pictures......
the ZEN feels pretty solid, its better than what i expected.
the shape didn't appeal to me when i first see it, but when i try it, it was rather good.
the pads that came with it are some kind of rubber pads that does not have adhesive to it, you can turn it over and use the other surface, its rather unresponsive unlike most rubber pads, unlike shinwoo's previous rubber pads used in the Phantom, grindability wise, to be honest it does not have that beadblasted coatings whatsoever that lets u grind forever, but it could be due to the surface Shinwoo done to it, u know that... i don't know what you call that, those line thingy... it helps a little for grinding.
when i first hold this yoyo today, i was like, "this feels heavy", but don't feel like it after a while, but i have to say it spins long, like, without much effort. it could be just me. weight rings included but i didn't use it when i tried the yoyo. hopefully videos soon.
apart from the sample yoyo, Shine also send me the new LED kit you saw in the previous post.
they fit most duncan yoyos, and probably most older capped plastic yoyos. they flashes in different colors instead of staying at one. look at the pictures and short clip.
