How did I get it? David, Shawn and Colin called me up recently asking me if I wanted to try something. Something new and exciting. Something amazing. I of course said yes, and three days later in my mailbox was the newest yo-yo from OneDrop Design. It was small, purple, and had a note. "Metal for Everyone, the M1"  First Impressions When I went to crack open the one drop box, I noticed the specs sticker. A Very nice touch. You get to see the color you are getting through the peek hole, and all the specs of the yo-yo. I was excited as I peeked through the hole and saw this bright purple beauty staring back at me. Immediately, I was overwhelmed with excitement and freed the M1 into my hands. This yo-yo is not Soda Blasted like the Project, but the finish is still extremely smooth, not grabby and is accompanied by brilliant anodized colors. This purple M1 is one of 5 colors, all set to launch at the same time. The one the OneDrop guys sent me was an Anno Sample, and other then a few marks on the face of the yo-yo, I could not tell. The color is vibrant and bright. As far as size, It is as the same diameter as a project, with a slim line design. I have to say, the size of the yo-yo intimidated me. I have huge hands and a hard throw and have not had much luck with the Business, which is virtually the same size. Apparently I had nothing to worry about here though because after the first throw with the M1 I fell in love. More after the jump |

Yes, but OneDrops new Silicone pads that come with it are perfect for it. You need no other response. THe Recess is the same, or very simular to, the Mark Mont |

As much as I love Sili, I love Kentaro. He's awesome, and his pads are some of the best. You cant deny it.
I was gonna ask, can I use the yoyoskills logo for my Sig ? I might as well help promote it a bit as I love the whole Idea of the project. Be expecting a bind vid for the tricks section that wont be in the project contest.

 I like this one. But usually, its that permission stuff. Asking for forgiveness is not as easy as you think. |

Looks good. I'm kind of disappointed though that the hex nuts are press fitted in. That seems like it really doesn't allow for tuning out slight vibrations like you could with the original project.  |

The axle system on the M1 was designed with economy in mind. Making the hex shape in a Project is rather time consuming, and costly. |

I don't even have a word for how much sense that doesn't make. |

nice review, but I don't think it's a slim-line... just a slim yoyo. slim line is like yomega firestorm.

Is the M1 made on a CNC lathe then?
I believe the project had CNC milled hubs from the designs for the rubber bits.
