Undersized done right. Doesn’t feel like it lacks spin time or spin power. Solid little yoyo, plays good. Feels dense, though.
Probably one of the most aesthetically done correctly yoyos ever. Absolute eye candy. Excessively premium with the Ti axle and special pads (at least the binds are nice though lmao). The plastic rims are a breaking risk as well.

Man, I was stoked to try this yo-yo. It’s one of those yo-yos that everyone hears about but not everyone gets the chance to try, so the second I saw someone at my club with one, I immediately grabbed it.
Man.
On paper, this thing should play great, draupnir-esque. But it just doesn’t. I even had a Draupnir to compare it to at the club meet.
It’s way too dainty and light. It felt like playing with a hybrid that had the rings removed. It didn’t spin long at all and had no power. It was just… weak. Needs more rimweight, or mass, or something.
Otherwise, it was… fine. I wasn’t offended by its existence like the Comic Sans or Naja because it’s a cool yoyo, just doesn’t play super great. With the developments in MG/SS I’d love to see a tweak to this.

This is the exact type of yoyo I wanted the ThruLine to be, everything the ThruLine should have been, and everything I’ve been looking for from OneDrop in a yoyo.
Probably one of my favorite EDCs because it’s a very flexible and generalist yoyo. Lovely shape and weight distribution make this a joy to play with.
I debated putting it in SS-Tier, but I think to really get it over the fence, it needs some design tweaks. Couple mm wider, maybe an extra gram(?), and just less gorilla grip with the binds.
