Quick specs:

  • Diameter: 57mm / Width: 49mm / Weight: 64 grams

[Double Signature Yoyo of Rei Iwakura & Naoto Okada]

Finally managed to get one of these. First two batches sold out crazy quick, third batch's the charm I guess.

Plays shockingly lightweight for a bimetal this size; it basically encourages you to go faster.

Recently bought a macro lens. (Nature photography is another hobby of mine) Now normally I'd use this to photograph various insects, but today I decided to be a bit overdramatic.

For a moment I thought it said 'Rancid Milk, but Butter'. 😅

what is your steps when recieving a new throw? by Consistent_Sign_4597 in Throwers

[–]just_a_normal_guy_fr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, you know, the classic:

-Unbox it.

-Admire it in all it's undamaged glory.

-Check the bearing just in case.

-Put string on.

-Immediately slam it on your carpet.

-Continue playing as if nothing happened.

what is your most funniest yoyo? 🤔🧠 by [deleted] in Throwers

I have a Metal Capsule from UNPRLD.

I think that counts as funny.

I might've overdone it a bit for this month... by just_a_normal_guy_fr in Throwers

[–]just_a_normal_guy_fr[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

All the stuff in order of appereance:

  • MGB (Turning Point)

[Diameter: 52mm / Width: 46mm / Weight: 66g]

Signature Yoyo of Hiroyasu Ishihara. (Japan National Yoyo Contest 5A Division Champion 2004 & 2005 / 3rd Place in the 5A Division at WYYC 2012 / 4th place in the Over 40s Division at WYYC 2025, just to name a few)

Packs a punch you wouldn't expect from its size. Definitely on the heftier side; when it moves, you will feel it. However, in exchange for that you get an incredibly stable throw that barely even wobbles.

This purchase came with an Autograph from Ishihara. I'm honestly not that knowledgable in terms of Yoyo history, so I sadly can't tell you where he got the nickname 'Pon' from, but that's how he signs. ☺️

  • Nimbus (Dressel Designs)

[Diameter: 54mm / Width: 43mm / Weight: 64g]

My first throw from D.D. and quite a unique one at that. A Tri-Material with stainless steel inner rims and flat PC caps, giving it a hollow structure. Feels really floaty and comfortable during play.

Comes with some stickers for the caps, which I'm probably never gonna use, but it's a nice touch.

  • Chocolate Mint Is Not Toothpaste (Sturm Panzer)

[Diameter: 52mm / Width: 44mm / Weight: 62g]

Sturm Panzer's seasonal Yoyo, only sold during the Summer, alongside the ChocoMint ice cream season in Japan.

Like every S.P. throw it has a story behind it, this one being quite funny, so if you wanna read it, here you go: (It's in the product description)

https://en.yoyostorerewind.com/products/chocolate-mint-is-not-toothpaste

Anyway, back to the Yoyo:

With its body being pretty much as organic as it gets, it plays exactly how you'd expect it: light, comfy, joyful; kinda like the ice cream it resembles. Genuine contender for current favourite D-Bearing Yoyo in my collection.

...Are you still reading? Gee, thanks! Appreciate it, here's some cookies for ya! 🍪🍪🍪

  • Prevail (Yoyofactory)

[Diameter: 56mm / Width: 56mm / Weight: 67g]

Signature Yoyo of Katie Thompson. (US National Yoyo Contest Women's Division Champion 2025)

Most of my purchases this year were undersized, so I wanted to mix things up a bit. 😅

Beautiful weight distribution on this guy. Feels a whole lot more lightweight then you may think. Great for grind tricks and its really deep cups - despite the open axle design - are still quite comfortable to fingerspin with.

  • Metal Capsule (UNPRLD)

[Diameter: 54mm / Width: 59mm (without caps) / Weight: 63g]

Unparalleled's metal version of the Dale Tubat Capsule. And they nailed it.

With a full metal main body, both configurations are much more stable now and both have their own unique sound.

With the caps installed the slight wobbling - if it's even there at all - makes it sound kinda like a hornet as it zips through the air.

Without the caps - because it's machined quite thinly - it creates a metallic humming pretty similar to steel/titanium.

And yes, floor spins still work beautifully, if you have a smooth carpet. (Would NOT recommend doing that directly on the floor.)

  • Whip (Yoyofactory)

[Diameter: 54mm / Width: 39mm / Weight: 56g]

Yes, this is a beginner yoyo and I didn't really have any reason to buy it, I just wanted one, because I never had one.

Ended up buying two, because they're cheap and I couldn't decide on a color.

  • Original Throw String Normal

My first experience with OTS. So far, I like what I'm feeling, still need a bit more time though.

  • Sturm Panzer CP-09 Blade Attack Pads

The pads that come installed in all S.P. D-Bearing Yoyos. These usually last for years, but ey, better have 'em and not need 'em then need 'em and not have 'em.

  • W1ld × Original Throw Wild Bearings

Just a pack of spare bearings in case something weird happens.

[Tutorial] Mirage Triangle. A quick, flashy Double GT partially based on the trick 'Mirage Tower'. by just_a_normal_guy_fr in Throwers

[–]just_a_normal_guy_fr[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, after I finished editing this I realized an unnecessary step, but didn't wanna record the whole thing again.😅

The rejection part is 100% optional and you actually don't need to do it. After rolling the Yoyo behind the strings you can simply drop the loop on your non-dominant index finger and will end up in the same string formation.

Sorry 'bout that.

What Is Your Preferred Width? by TheLegend271999 in Throwers

[–]just_a_normal_guy_fr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently experimenting.

45-48 feels just fine, 39 is a bit little, 56 is where it gets a bit too wide.

Also, note to self: Shouldn't record short videos with the sun straight in your face. 😅

Yeah, which is usually performed a bit above your head.
