The model that would best compare to the Sleipnir is the Quickmate. The Basileus is a bit wider and the weight is more in the middle of the yoyo rather than just the rims. The Quickmate is just like the Sleipnir but more balanced. I would actually rate the Quickmate on par, if not slightly better than the Sleipnir for 1A. It is fast, maneuverable and spins like a demon.
The Yoyo Monster Remate is more like the YYR Gleipnir or the Solenoid from TP.
Have you ever played a 3points??. I want to buy one, but it seems that nobody has it. And for being a really small undersize(31.4dia) with a price tag of $120 I want to know if its worth it.
I was going to do this too but I was scared to do it!!! hehe… But seriously these Monster’s are soooo freeking good!!! It’s just sick how good mine plays!!!
I already have another on the way!!
Also, thanks Geez for all your help. From one Matt to another!!! ;D ;D
Yoyo Monster is like the General-Yo of Japan. They make too few yo-yo’s to really get noticed; or sponsor huge events and teams. But their yo-yo’s are among the best designed and manufactured throws out there. Give them a try. You will be pleased you did.
I just received my KONIG today. For those of you who do not know the KONIG is a 6061 version of the Basileus. Two grams lighter but the same design. WOW what a zippy throw. The difference between them is enough for it to be fun!! I really love the purple too. It has that kind of color changing thing going on with it!!!
I’m interested in trying a YYM.The three throws i’ve narrowed it down to are Remate, Checkmate (7075) and Basileus.
Are these designs outdated? Or still good designs and yoyos?
I like yoyos that’s stable, long spinning and that can go with decent speed. If it’s floaty of hefty doesn’t really matter, i like both!
(And please don’t tell me about the Agonist. It’s too expensive and impossible to find)
I still absolutely love my checkmate. The stepped profiles are plenty current with todays shapes and designs and the checkmate was actually my all time favorite yoyo for horizontal. That said I haven’t tried the 7075 version but I bet it’s just as good.

Of the three I have only played the Basileus. IMHO the Basileus has that light yoyo feel but that powerful feel of a more heavy solid throw. The spin times were always excellent and it moved effortlessly. Again I have only played that one but I really enjoyed it. As for are these designs outdated? I don’t think so. They are among the best looking yoyo designs I have seen… Best of luck man!!
I am looking to get something new from YYM. I heard some fit issues with the Agonist; so waiting for something a bit less of a prototype. Maybe something with SS rings instead of brass?
Necroing (again)
Considering getting the Basileus or the AC2. Anyone here played both? If so, a few words on how they differ would be highly appreciated
