SPYY Spyder 2

2012-01-21T23:29:00.000+08:00

SPYY: We’re back from a long break in yoyo production and are excited to tell you of our first release for 2012, the new (and highly anticipated) Spyder 2! This yoyo is an all new and modernized version of the popular Spyder, which was originally released at the 2009 World Yo-Yo Contest. We decided to reintroduce this undersized yoyo after many requests from loyal SPYY fans.

The new version maintains it’s distinctive wide profile shape that makes the Spyder so fun, but also includes many improvements to suit today’s style of play, plus one extra and unique feature… a DUAL THUMB GRIND LIP! Now players can hone their grinding skills with this yoyo’s awesome profile and fun dual lip!

Yonity present Surface Finishing

2012-01-21T22:02:00.000+08:00

Yonity presenting their new yoyo surface finishing.
the first yoyo is a Jei, in nickel-plated finish, leaving a "polished" effect, very shiny and hard coating.
the second one is a Li, Jex's personal yoyo, yet to be released, anodised with only the catch-zone beadblasted for grinding purpose, while the wall and profile/hub area in a shiny finish. according to Jex, not all new Yonity yoyos will have both finish, it depends on the style the yoyo's produced for, for example, the Jei wasn't much of a grind yoyo, so it's only nickel-plated. for more info, visit the Yonity site!

Special Stainless Steel Ball Bearing by Yonity

2012-01-11T18:40:00.001+08:00

Yonity:
This is the special stainless steel bearing by Yonity. It can keep spinning over 30 second by hand. The materiel of retainer, outer race and inner race are stainless steel. So, there are no rusty problem. The roller is the high-class 10 balls set. But we can not tell the materiel of roller. It is the secret why it can spin so long. The outer race has been polished. The polishing finish makes it smoother when you doing tricks.

Lin Zeyu's a team member of DreamYo, a pioneer at 1A, but have some stuff on offstring too, we've been chatting for some time and he have shown me some of his video, not that his tricks ain't good, but most of it are pretty blur or of lower quality that the tricks weren't really visible in the video, but here we have, kind of a practice video with music playing in the background, pretty much what he always do, instead of editing the music into the video. here he is, showing you his offstring tricks, with the RERA.

Buzz-On Gremlins

2012-01-06T22:58:00.000+08:00

first photo got off Dave's fb and second from YoYoSkills!

on Dave's FB, the photo caption were about the Buzz-On Gremlins' prototype parts being anodised, and on Yoyoskills, there's this picture of what seems like Menehune shells with that cap thats supposed to be anodised? thats my assumption, so i'm putting them both in one entry, but I'm sure glad that Buzz-On is back, I love the Element X, everything before the SPR came into the picture, I wasn't so much a fan of the SPR, but it still was one of the better thing ever produced, you can pretty much put it on most plastic that uses bolt and nut, some needs a little mod. I still have my Element X and some Menehune shells.

I still remember picking up Shotaro at the airport during AP2011, and he was really tired from the flight, and we have language barrier and all that, but watching him offstring was pretty cool. He was doing some offstring stack tricks during that time. I see a change of style in his play. or maybe not too much?

2012-01-04T22:20:00.000+08:00

anyone who own a X3 yoyo would know that their yoyo has tight bearing seat, its hard to remove the bearing. so here's the tool by X3, with X3 engraved on them.

These tools are great for both size C .250 in x .500 in x .187 bearing, as well as,

Metric 6mm×13mm×5mm bearing! one on each end of the tool.

Takuto play yoyo with black light

2012-01-02T23:02:00.001+08:00

he's fast, and the tricks ain't really clear, some parts weren't really visible, but there's very little video of Takuto on YouTube and I thought this should be shared.
here's another pretty up-to-date performance by him in China.

Jazz-Yo Concept

2012-01-02T22:44:00.000+08:00

Jazz-Yo Concept.
so I got few of these as gift from Gediao himself, and here's more information about them.
the first thing that came to my mind when I see the actual yoyo itself, a SPYY PURE. the shape is similar, the the flat hub/cap design.

so the Concept was mentioned earlier in another entry here. Aluminum rim/caps on a Teflon body. This yoyo have a pretty unique method of assembling the pieces together.

first thing you may want to know is that, these are the first batch of Concepts, and these, according to Gediao, won't make it internationally. But I've seen it in Taiwan, so I'm thinking just the chinese market for the time being? He did said only to the chinese market for the first batch, but I mean maybe like, Chinese country like Taiwan, HongKong, and of course China. But there will be a 2nd batch for the international market, and its gonna be improved, and there might be a 24K gold edition of it.

so I mentioned improvements, what's there to improve?
I tried, I gave my feedbacks and mentioned what I though could be changed.
more photos first.

so the stock one came with a silicone ring pad that has a less grippy surface, and it slips, pretty much all the time. A little similar to Adegle's PSG's initial response problem, but this gap wasn't that big, its really the pads. so I silicone them myself, and Gediao did said the stock pads aren't as good. so here's the one with the siliconed one.

self siliconed one definitely plays alot better, tighter binds, no slips, still smooth as usual.
I have to say this is really one of the smoothest yoyo, smooth on the string, smooth during spin, and really vibe-less. you know those super smooth yoyos you play, they're all so smooth on the string and stuff, but, but, but when you just grab it by the string near the catch zone, you can feel the slight vibe? there's none on these, not exaggeration.
yea I know, its from China, and Jazz-Yo's Shield have bad feedbacks online, but I didn't get to even try that, and the Saturn was really fragile, but the Concept, I was given not just one but few of these and I've open up 2 of them, and both of them, tested.
give a reckless throw, seriously, any yoyo could have a double vision, visually vibes, but grab it by the string, do you feel the vibe? many have misuse the term vibe, many especially newer players. feel it in the string.

not that this yoyo is the most vibe-free yoyo I've tried, but I just feel the need to talk about the definition of vibe since we're on the topic.

so yea, this yoyo is pretty much vibe-less.
but one issue I feel turn consumer/players off, is the sound it produce. its similar to a hollow metal yoyo spinning, or something like it.
I tried changing bearings, and the sound still persist. the bearing that I changed to was quiet in another yoyo, so I'm guessing its the yoyo halves? the way its machined or put together? By the way, it comes in two halves, with the aluminum cap already attached to the teflon body, and you can't take them apart. okay, but some local players tried it, and none of them ask or complain to me about the sound it produce, and I was surprise, so maybe it wasn't that bad. and most of them who tried actually like the Concept.

grinds, well, maybe some would want to know about the grind part since the surface where most player grind with is of a teflon body, but to me, the grind wasn't that much of a butter smooth, its some regular grinds. so these are the stuff I feedback to Gediao, and I can't wait to see how the international version will turn out, one thing for sure according to Gediao is, it'll be of better quality, but I think this batch's already pretty good, so i'm not sure of what kind of "better" he have in mind. so like mentioned, this batch is mainly for the Chinese market, if anyone wants one, I only know one shop thats selling them for now, which is from Taiwan, its BuyYoYo.net, otherwise you might want to wait for the international release version that may take some time.

C3YoyoDesign DarkSonic: Ron Chan talk about "Double V" bump area

2012-01-01T13:14:00.001+08:00

"From (h5) to DarkSonic"

We first design (h5) in 2010 summer. The shape of (h5) look common but in 64.5mm diameter, this really need to work with the large surface area when playing in horizontal. So we developed "Double V" bump area try to reduce the contact area between String and Yoyo.

In 2011, I wanna have a better performance in 5A horizontal. I can tell 5A horizontal is pretty different from what we saw in 1A. This is the origin of DarkSonic. DarkSonic make an evolution from (h5) "Double V" bump area. Long spin and designed for horizontal tricks.

DarkSonic will release in 2012.

photo credit to C3 & YYF Ben.

Similar to Takuto's L4 case where Takuto just want to clarify the new wall system that he came up with was an idea he developed instead of copying anyone's idea. C3YoyoDesign just want to clarify that this new shape, what C3 call a "Double V" bump area, were what they have been experimenting since the making of the (h5), all the way to the new and upcoming DarkSonic.

reason for this clarification is that, because God-Trick's latest pretty hyped up yoyo in China, the Evolution, has a similar shape concept to DarkSonic's. And C3 wants to clarify that the "Double V bump area" is originally created by them.

here's two photos of the God-Trick Evolution, I don't want to post too many of them before we get out of the topic which is about the DarkSonic, I'll post more photos in a separate entry.

and of course, C3YoyoDesign wants to present to you, Ron Chan Kwok San with DarkSonic in Arizona!

Broken Adegle PSG, More Photos.

2011-12-29T22:19:00.000+08:00

so here's more photos of the broken sample "abuse" Adegle PSG for those who might be interested to take a closer look on what forms is it broken into, so you can analyse its durability and stuff like that.
you know, like, "oh, the cap's still intact, it probably got nothing to do with the caps issue, bla bla bla..." I don't know, I'm no guru in making yoyos like I was told before~ and honestly unlike writing a write-up, I'm unable to give feedbacks on what I think might be the problem because I saw how it was broken but I didn't really see which part was hit on the floor. so here's more photos!

I won't be able to take new photos of another angle after tomorrow because these are to be send back to Adegle, LinKai wants to take a look at it. so I hope whatever posted here helps.

Yonity Jei

2011-12-20T21:13:00.001+08:00

firstly, I want to say when I first saw the Yonity Jei, it kinda reminds me of the DreamYo NewWing because of its shape.

but of course, it doesn't play the same, at all.

so I was looking forward to trying one, because of what I heard of it, that its better than the Dao, more stable and stuff. and also because its Jei Tseng Hung Chieh's signature yoyo. I like Jei, I consider him a friend, first saw him back in 2008, known as a Hiroyuki Suzuki fan, and then his improvements were pretty obvious.

so here's more photos of the Yonity Jei...

So I was told this is still in prepro stage, thats why I wasn't given a bearing with it, there weren't enough I think. but I couldn't use the ceramic one that came with the Dao because I realise the that bearing was having some problem I couldn't solve. It cause the yoyo to vibe, so I used a Center Trac bearing. so this write-up is based on using the Center Trac bearing, I don't have a dif-e-yo KK so I'm not sure if it'll work well, but the last I talk to Jex, he mentioned the new releases may spot a regular flat bearing. not confirmed though. so here's photos of it with the Yonity ceramic concave bearing, yes no mistake, I took photo of it with Yonity's bearing.

and then here I go, found a suitable bearing and start playing.

it features their special axle system, with the stretchy silicone pads.
honestly speaking, not that the Dao ain't nice, but in terms of Yonity yoyo, after playing with the Jei, I hardly ever touch the Dao. its indeed very stable, more stable than Dao. and definitely very long, powerful spin. I remember Jei telling me about the probability of this yoyo having two version, one 66g, the other 68g, I think the one i have is a 68, it felt like it. but its fast on the string, and needless to say, its really smooth.

this one I got is a polished one, that's about to oxidise, I can't say much about grinding, the final run will most probably have a finish similar to Dao, if so, the grind's like mentioned in Dao's write-up, it kinda 'run' on your skin. polished yoyo don't grind so well on my skin, maybe it's just me. there's a slight IRG lip, I remember someone telling me Jei told him he has intention on making IRG tricks, therefore the lip there, I don't know how true is this, i have yet to talk to Jei regarding this, but I've never seen Jei doing IRG tricks, so it could be something new, alright, YiChen from Duncan Crew Singapore just remind me of our conversation about this, he afterwards said that he wasn't talking about Jei but Jex instead, who's into IRG tricks. so yea, the IRG lip must be an coincident or something. so on top of all that, like most metals, it handles slacks well, laceration not a problem at all. sideways, Christopher, WeiXuan all did sideways without problems. if I remember correctly, WeiXuan have positive feedback for this yoyo. all these being said,

I need to stress that this write-up is based on using a Center Trac bearing as the original Yonity bearing have some issue that causes vibe and becomes responsive.
will be bringing this yoyo to meetings so guys do try it out. but its polished as its still in prepro stage.
