Wait whaaattt lol Wasn’t the Peak supposed to be a cross between 401k and Hitman or something? Oh well, you’d probably remember better than me lol, I was a wee little lad when the Peak came out.
I personally still think the shape is closer to the Dark Magic. Will take some comparison pics when I get the chance. Got to use a Peak and MA States, and compared it to my Trinity and Dark Magic, more similar than you would think
While your sentiments are laudable; everything you use to describe YYJ is in the past tense. I think that is the point here. Respect is something that is earned. Once earned it must be maintained. I think many are questioning that maintenance.
I will always have a soft spot for yoyojam (my kicksides in particular), they were the the first modern throws I aquired when I took up yoyoing again 5 years ago. I loved the old hitman and lyn fury style cap art; I was thrilled to see it again on the recent hitman anniversary ed.
I’ll go out on a limb and say that Grant Johnson’s new throw - which I borrowed for extended periods of time while at KS states a month ago was easily my favorite YYJ I’ve ever played and that I’ll be quite happy to own one once it’s released.
Also, it’s got lots of new interesting design stuff going on there.
YoyoJam is a great company. I think that they need to update or release a few more models. All of the metal/plastic hybrids seems to just have different dyes or anodizing colors to the unexperienced eye. Most companies are selling their full metals at the same price as YYJ’s hybrids. A little bit of marketing revision and a new model would get YYJ back to what it used to be.
