King Yo Star - Hop King

so Kuyos Chen Jia Lin offered to send one of this to me.

i was of course excited, and i apologize for taking such a long time to post this.

 i tried one at AP2011 but they say its not yet perfect, indeed if i remember correctly, that one didn't felt as nice in the hand compared to this. so here are more photos!

the package came with a mini CD, i haven't get to see what is it about.

i'm sure people would want to see the comparison shot between the Hop King and the Miracle/SUPERwide, but since i've only got Miracle, i'll post just Miracle.

they both have this similar inner rim ridge thingy if you look closely. or u can click to enlarge the image.

just Hop King.

okay, honestly, i have no idea whats the anti vibration system about but i'm guessing its the way they did the axe system, you see the axle sticking out through the hub? i am guessing this is where it lies. the axle feels kind of loose but its not, you know, likes its shaky when you screw it in. but i guess maybe this actually helps to prevent vibration in some way.

 i'll be honest, if you ask me i would prefer the Miracle, really, this yoyo feels kind of slippy to me, i could do with a tighter bind, probably because the pads are way too recessed for me, look at the last photo. but its subjective, it all depends on the players' preference.

is it good for Hops? i'm not a hop trick person, but i guess its made for that, y'all know how CJL does his tricks, hop hop hop hop hop and it goes on. but one thing about it is its got smaller yoyo width than the Miracle, so its easier to get used to for most players.

don't really grind for me, but don't think its build for that, its long spinning, handles most tricks i threw at it. just a little too slippy for me. but some players who have already tried the sample likes it. 

Also, King Yo Star is sponsoring an event, HUGE APOLOGIES, i'm not sure if the event is over, i was given a link to it, but i forgot to save it, they have this limited edition black Hop King, if the event is not yet over, and the organisers are reading this, can u link me again? i'll get it posted! sorry guys!

*update! thanks to Ewin, the event that King Yo Star is sponsoring is the BIYO!
Bali International Yoyo Open!
clicky!
