Dream-Yo Lion

i was away for a while to HongKong, and when i'm back i got a notice to collect a small package.

i saw the sender, and i was looking forward to it, because it was late at night, the post office was already close, and i could only collect it the next day.

long queue, long wait in the morning, and my turn, i open the package and this is what i got!

Lion from Dream-Yo.

what comes with it? 

the sample i got is a Red/Silver combination.

the yoyo itself comes with white silicone pads, but there's a pair of spare yellow pads, and string of course. more pictures...

first impression, it feels huge. i actually went telling everyone who tried it that its slightly oversized, but when i went to check the earlier posts(here and here) about the Dream-Yo Lion, its a regular size.

and heavy, very rim weighted. it feels a little bulky, a little huge, a little like Positron from Turning Point but its just me. this yoyo has a pretty huge gap, and many people who've tried it likes it.

yoyos out of HongKong, TaiWan and China makers now adays are really reaching a higher standard, this yoyo is really pretty good. the Lion comes with a flat bearing, it handles everything i throw, its alot better than the older Wing, after playing with this, i actually look forward to trying the new Wing.

the anodised coating allows it to grind pretty well. the wide gap lets player capture hits easily, and the thick rim with concentrated weight lets the yoyo spins, long.

flops were pretty stable, lacerations are no problem, its very very unresponsive but the bind is tight. not floaty. random combos feels good. but i personally like to add that, this yoyo needs a lower angle to regen, but its just me.

overall a pretty good yoyo!

do ask to try out the yoyo if you see me.

as there's many sample yoyos around, i now only bring along the newer ones, if you guys wants to try any of the older samples, do tag on the board i'll try to bring them too.
