One Drop Oversize?

came across this at the OneDrop Forum,

supposingly an new oversized yoyo from One Drop.

but i personally think... One Drop yoyos have always been pretty undersized? so, shouldn't this be normal size? correct me if i'm wrong.

even it its normal size, i think its good, SY reps have been hoping One Drop come out with a normal sized yoyo, keep visiting the One Drop Forum to get yourself updated.

YoYoJam Revolution

YoYoJam.com :

The Revolution features YoYoJams all new “Solid Spin™” high grade aluminum axle system. Machined specifically for YoYoJam this axle is completely unique in construction. It brings the metal rimmed yo-yo together as if it was a completely solid metal body resulting in a very stable yo-yo. This new construction also allows for two bearing sizes to be used as you progress from your first throw to the most complex string tricks. The Revolution ships with a standard bearing installed which allows the yo-yo to be more responsive for beginner to intermediate play. When you are ready to move on to more complex tricks, simply change to the Speed bearing included in the package to move up to an unresponsive yo-yo capable of the most complex string tricks.

The Revolution features a tough polycarbonate body with machined aluminum weight rings. It has a comfortable fit in the hand and a smooth, stable spin at all times. Grant Johnson designed this yo-yo with YoYoJam to bring players a yo-yo that moves effortlessly through the air and on the string. His tricks are always “big” and the Revolution is the one yo-yo built to handle them.

YYJ x Takeshi A.I.

photos from SPINGEAR!

these are prototypes. some of you have seen more of these during AP.

from my understanding, this one is clear anodised... and, caps can be removed, but not advisable to put finger in cap hole during spin, may cut finger. caps with hole aren't confirmed yet, maybe production will be different, for now, only SPINGEAR has stocks for these, so if you're getting one, ytr removing the caps for play, or u could replace the caps with a DM's. lets wait for more info about it!

Dream-Yo Pixy

Dream-Yo sent me this.

an undersized, mini yoyo, ala flea, but large bearing!

ferrero rocher?

reminds me of one.

opening up....

now to size comparison to a 07 888, i was thinking why didn't i take a shot of it next to a flea...

i should take one soon, but mine is a old Flea, not the 2010 one. but yea, its just to compare the size. will take one soon alright...

for now, here's one with 07 888.

so... this thing needs a little getting used to.

feels heavy for its size. pretty long spin after breaking in, and once got used to throw.

spins long enough to complete simple combo, or even complex combo if you have good controls, National Champion Christopher Chia did lotsa combos with it. i was wowed.

front throw's hard to control, for me atleast, it goes out~

trapeze throw's alright, once u get the angle right, its nice, its so much more easier to get used to compared to front throw. i personally feel its due to its large bearing, a tad bit too large for the yoyo's size? its a working yoyo, but i feel the bearing size and the yoyo halves size should be proportionate. i feel if the bearing is slightly smaller, say, hspin size? or even duncan size, it'll probably have a more normal throw.

i try to do a few things with it, flop, it works, grinds, it works, i just did finger grinds though, no arm, no palm. palm shouldn't be a problem?

lacerations, normal and counter, both's fine.

regens are hard for me. it does regen, but to me, it feels like i'm not controlling it, it just comes back and goes out. front style to side style regens, the yoyos goes down, due to weight. protrusion wonder, thumbmount wonder? yea i guess so, i suck at both, but i manage to do a little of both, but of course... its mini!!!

this is definitely not a competition yoyo, its meant to be a pocket yoyo, even smaller than a Dingo, for sure, its already smaller than a 888. one thing "positive" about this yoyo is it accept normal strings, rather thn specially made thin string like YYF Flea's. so if you wanna try something very small, playable, this is worth considering getting, but i think its bigger than the Flea though. price... sorry, no idea yet? i'll post it together with the Pixy/Flea comparison photo when i get the price. hopefully video soon~
