Hey, everybody. this is not only my first review but also my first post here, so go a little easy? this is a review of the adegle PSG, or plastic sand glass. Enjoy!
basic specs: C size bearing,
19mm response pads, silicone,
weight:64.3 grams
Diameter: 55.0 mm / 2.16 inches
Width: 46.0 mm / 1.81 inches
Gap Width: 4.20 mm / .17 inches
(taken from yoyoexpert.com)
First impressions- When i opened the box, i was very slightly blown away. The case really surprised me. i think it is just cool. i mean, i would be less surprised if it was for an expensive yoyo, but seriously, cool. Looks a little like something that you would get out of a machine for a quarter.
Looks- Okay, i am color blind, and the only ones in stock were pink (a color that usually comes out as grey for me). so i will just say that it looks cool in the photos in blue, and the shape is just amazing looking. i must say though, it looks like something you'd get out of those coin machines for a quarter...
Throwing it- well, i must say, i am very impressed. the "toy" is actually amazing, with great spin, and decent mobility and stability. though i am no magic man with a yoyo, i did put it through some serious paces, and i must say, i can't find to many flaws. sure, there is a little vibe, but FIFTEEN DOLLARS!!! come on, people, this thing feels like a protostar (sort of) and is half the price. hops were a breeze, whips also. grinds were not great, but better than some plastic yoyos that i have tried.
Final thoughts- well, i feel that there is absolutely nothing better in the 10-20 dollars range. i have used fhzs, ones, whips, Die nasties (one of my other favorite plastics) and all i can say is that this is a slight step up from all of them. a final note, it comes with two kitty strings, which upon trying (i usually just use yye polyester) i am rather impressed with, though i find that polyester is polyester, it may make a difference to some. BUY IT!!!!!!!!!!!!
available for 15-20 dollars at yye!

UPDATE:I got another in blue, and it is brilliantly colorful!
UPDATE: If you find the binds slippy, swap out 1 response pad for a k-pad
UPDATE (based in feedback): the shape gives the yoyo a decently speedy yet solid feel. It is average in the hand in my opinion.

How much yoyoing is enough yoyoing? Are your hands bleeding yet? No? THEN KEEP YOYOING UNTIL THEY ARE.

Mine I thought didnt perform to all it was hyped up to be.  Needs better response, and has a relatively low spin time WITH A CENTER-TRAC!!!

Hm... that was not the case with me. i know it does not spin as long as a high end metal (or any metal at all) but i personally feel that for the price, it is unbeatable. i guess if you want another cheap plastic you could try a stackless pgm, which i think might be a little more stable. center tracs actually make the yoyo less awesome in my opinion. they are noisy, create vibe, and often catch. the only time i would recomend one would be if the yoyo  would have response problems otherwise. this is what they were made for with difeyo konkave bearings.

Nice review, but I think you might want to elaborate more on how the shape and weight distribution affects play. (Is it floaty or solid? How does the shape feel in the hand?)
