SYBlog: One Drop Y Factor

finally up, sorry for the delay everyone.

One Drop Y Factor

Y Factor, from One Drop!

David send me a sample of it, few players have tried it at SYYC2010, some couldn't stop playing with it, many love it! and waiting or release!

pictures!

Pyramatte finish. grooved surface. wide string gap. solid feel!
if you ask me... it feels a little similar to the Project, a lighter feel, compared to the Project 2.

but yet, the stability is there, rim weighted (irg lip), undersized, fast, but stable.

the sample i got's a flow groove version, i assume it also comes in pad version because "flow-groove" is printed on the sticker on the box that carry the Y Factor, if its there to indicate, i'm sure there'll be a pad version? like all One Drop yoyos.

grinds, it grinds like the P1 and P2, featuring the grooved surface like most One Drops.

i like how it feels in the palm, comfortable, you can see from the pictures, its shape is similar to the P1/P2, but rounder, smoother edges, and slightly H-profiled.
the more i play with it, the more i like it. its just so stable. i can't guarantee if its more stable than the P1/P2 cause' i have not tried them 2 long enough. but if you love them 2, you'll love this more. i find myself repeating the same stuff, its fast, solid, stable, grind smooth! fact. haven't tried it? find me at meetings!
video soon.

releasing soon, by the time u read this, these could be at the OneDrop online shop anytime.

OneDrop Y Factor

remember the new yoyo from OneDrop that some thought some was a "MM2"?

i guess this is the exact one, HSYY confirms with me that its not a MM2, David announces today about it, the OneDrop Y Factor.

David:

In preparing to evolve our line and move on to different things like an oversized yo-yo, we feel we need a new undersized competition level performer at a decent price ($75) that takes all of our experience and knowledge into consideration. We want to eliminate any X factors (unknowns) so we're focusing on what we do know (the Y factors). The result is our new yo-yo, the Y Factor. It is a synthesis of all of our previous work, current knowledge, and player preferences. In keeping with features we know work well, the Y Factor is very agile due to the new profile, features a newly designed thumb grind lip, and comes with our proven bearing and response system. The Y Factor has the grooves from the original Project. Also, it has the round-nut axle system that has been proven out on M1s and Dingos. The Y Factor will come standard with our new Pyramatte (tm) finish in a wide variety of rich standard colors as well as special editions.
