Side effects are cool and all but they dont feel like g squared to me. I would like to see something more mid range in price however. Maybe even a budget metal, that would be sweet.
me neither! Side effects are One Drops thing and even though they manufacture g2 yoyos it still feels weird. also i love the nubs g2 has come op with so far. very original and creative.
I think side effects are a smart way to go given that G2 has already made 2 awesome standard throws. I know it’s been a plus for me when considering a throw, and it gives G2 some extra options to explore. Even if you aren’t interested in changin SE’s, there really aren’t any downsides to it. SE throws are dead smooth and work great right out of the box.
I also really like the idea of doing a more budget minded throw that’s closer to full size. That is a really under-saturated market. While I do think it’s true that a higher price tag does seem to appeal to many people, and maintains brand identity for a “higher end” brand, if the yoyo is interesting it’s a niche that’s perfect for a smaller company. Very little true competition.
