dude thats not a review ....

Hahaha!  Yeah, I was just being silly.  I'm not a review-author, but I will give some real feedback on the Hectic anyways, just because I am very happy with it.

The size is perfect. I find that it has a nice weight to it for the size, and since it has a narrow profile, I find the spin time is long, and the yoyo is very stable.

The small bearing allows for me to throw it hard and have a longer-than-usual spin, and the inner profile makes string-play a breeze for catching and popping tricks like Kwijbo.
The only thing I noticed about the Yo is that I have to put a little extra effort into getting it off the string.
For example, at the middle points of the Hourglass or And Whut tricks, at the point where you thow it over from the One and a Half mount to flip it over your pointer of the non-throw hand, I find the Hectic doesn't like to come away from the string as easy as the 888. For me anyways, it takes a little more concentration that usual.

The rims carry most of the weight, only adding to the stability of the Yo.
The Response is absolutely perfect with a #6 alchemy string. If I was to use the highlight that comes with it stick, I believe it would have been too responsive.

It is extremely quiet. The anodization is perfect, with no blems (Mine is red and black). I like the packaging too, for environmental purposes: No plastic at all. Just cardboard.

Geez, I know it sounds crazy, but of all my Yoyos, I like this one the best. You can NOT go wrong for the money. If you were thinking about getting one of these, but haven't decided: Get one.

the only flaw it has is no IRG, other than that its amazing i was very pleased with mine as well, the shape is quite comfortable in the hand and is VERY stable for its weight and size

[Wakeness]

At the risk of sounding noobish, what is IRG?

[tboy]

Inner rim grind I think

[Wakeness]

Right. Makes sense. Still an amazing-playing Yo.

I totally agree. The hectic is awesome! Strangely enough, I have a really easy time doing IRGs on this yoyo even without the lip. Just throw the yoyo tilted slightly towards you and its really easy to pop it up on your thumb (no hubstack post = nothing gets in the way).

yes its still pretty easy actually without it, but it is still harder than other yos that do have them
