What happened to YYF's new dial yoyo ? Adjust-O-Matic ???
« on: July 12, 2009, 03:13:17 PM »

I was going through Yoyo2 posts, and I opened the DV888 post. Had the picture of a raw DV888, a raw DNA, and the dial yoyo. (Adjust-O-Matic). Has anyone personally seen them (besides YYF) or played any ?

I read somewhere that it was supposed to happen 1st quarter of 2009... and something about BK2... Pretty sure they were listed under "YYF Undeniable"...

This isn't some rant about YYF having to pump out these products, but rather I was just wondering what these were. Again, YYF did say 10 products in the coming up weeks, so these may turn up...

They're pretty sweet Cheesy Velocity is a great plastic, but turn it into a metal? Much much better play out of them in my opinion....

High end dial yo-yos are a bit of a contradiction for us. While in my opinion the are probably the easiest yo-yos we make to become a good player quickly with it is inevitable they will get bad reviews because they are not 100% focused on being pure performance yo-yos and the people who should be buying them will be scared away from buying them and talked into buying whatever is hot this week (even if it is another one of our products).

That being said, Adjust-o-matic and even a limited retro re-release of some 401sds will be coming in the next 31 days...  (www.yyfcountdown.com updated daily)

That's quite a shame. F.A.S.T yoyos, in general, are really under-appreciated.While you say high-end dial yoyos aren't 100% focused on being pure performance yoyos, they play extremely well for having starburst response. Fully recessed rubber shuttles on my old 401k was some of the best, non-hassle play I've had ever. Didn't worry about having to silicone or pop new pads in, just had to change strings. If I wanted responsive, it was "on the fly." One of the best metals I've played ( out of like 30).

Re releasing the SD?
The original of this is still available in England.
I would have thought the 401k was the classic...

I'm loving the speed dial I was given at NC states (thanks Chris!). The starbursts don't last very long, but I guess the acronym for "fully active response technology" doesn't cut it.

What price range will the Adjust-O-Matics be? Will they be more of a FundaMETAL type of deal? I really dig how these look.
