the maelstrom (pictures and review)

[MOyo]

Ok i got this yo and it had no packaging, so i thought that it was alright, then i tried it....(after a half hour or so of tinkering,cleaning etc.) WHAT A SMOOTH YO! it amazing really, on the string its sooooo smooth.
Yes, i like unresponsive yos but this one is very responsive and i still like it. It brings in great sleep times and the gap is soo wide and can be caught on the string with ease.
The yo its self looks nice and has a good shape,which feels great in my hand.

Spintastics yoyos?

I was planning on doing it anyway, but didn't know how soon.

what do you think?

[MOyo]

i think that its a great idea to bring in the maelstrom,revolver tigershark and maybe the technic for those who like to loop.....how soon thats all for you to decide......thats just my 2 cents.

[Pat_Cuartero]

if i bring in spintastics, i'll bring in their whole line.

haha

[MOyo]

even better......i feel stupid...lol :lol:

if you do, i wouldnt recommend getting too much stock. personally i feel that much of their products our out of date, and cant compete with todays yoyos. every single A yoyo they have produced are modified tiger sharks for example. this is purely my oppinion, but if the probably, 'few', people that want spintastics yoyos can find them through other yoyostores.

I love the Revolver I have- great for responsive A play.

never used that yoyo. but as far as spintastic goes. I my self don't perfer them. there yoyos are out of date. eclipes was an "ok" yoyo when setup well. just my 2 cents. tigersharks where ok for learning. i dont like the looping yoyos. i cant loop well but i perfer raiders or speedbeetles when i try *sigh* lol.

personally, i love my maelstrom, even if it does have the tendency to occassionally "explode". and as far as customer service, they've got me hooked in. my maelstrom originally had a bearing problem. dale oliver asked for it after i emailed the company about it, fixed it (no questions asked), tuned it himself with a new string, and shipped it back. Although, he did keep the pieces of the original bearing, including the little balls i pulled out of the carpet
i notice since then the bearings are different than the ones they originally shipped with - i suspect they had numerous problems with the original bearings.

awesome yo, awesome service . definitely bring in spintastics!

that's what i use. the blue stuff, for screws and bolts. if you use the red it'll freeze the threads closed permanently. a dab of blue once a month should hold it nicely, and still allow you to adjust the gap, or open it for the really super-bad snags - tho i usually use an unbent paperclip for pulling those out.

blue not red...gotcha....
