BreakBeat Yo

BreakBeat Yo's from China, this will be a quick write-up on all the three yo-yos that's making their debut here in Singapore. 

the first one... Fire.

weight: 66g
diameter: 56mm
width: 42mm
bearing: size C concave

Quick one.

when I got these, there weren't any package, this are kind of b-grades actually, but no vibes at all.
don't have the specs for them yet either, will update the entry when I get them. Also, all of this yoyo came with what seems to be stainless steel concave type bearing.

So the Fire form what I heard, is the more popular one among the 3 yoyos, but it's not my personal favorite though.

Playability wise, it's pretty good in my opinion, its feels solid, and stable. In the palm, it feels pretty light, but during play, it felt rather rim weighted. I'll update the specs though, when I get them.
Response's pretty tight, smooth and fast on the string, haven't really snag on me yet.

The grinds actually works for me, today, I really feel the grinds really depends on the weather here in Singapore when I try it, but that's just me. The downside to it? I feel, is the shape, it's a little sharp, it's doesn't feel comfy holding it, but it's me. When I first tried it, I really didn't like it, but I just played with it awhile ago, I actually grown to like it a bit, I mean, I actually enjoyed playing with it now.

so, let's move on to the next one.

Killer.

weight: 67.5g
diameter: 62.5mm
width: 45mm
bearing: size C concave

My first impression when I saw this, it reminds me of the YYR Clash and Dreadnought.
It's oversized, and the shape is a little similar too, but to be honest, I think not all but most of the yoyos of today have this type of shape, not exactly the same, but similar, can't deny that, mostly just a different design for the hub area. Anyways, the Killer is definitely not what I would like, because it's huge and with sharp edge, I'm not exactly a fan of sharp edged shape huge yoyos, I'm okay with hourglass shaped, rounder edge huge yoyos, however. So, unless you're a fan of huge oversized yoyos, you may not like this.
Even though I'm not a fan, but honestly speaking, the Killer is really stable, it doesn't feel heavy for its size, really. The grind's about the same as the Fire's. It's slightly wider than the Fire. The rim design is the same as the Fire's, actually, the Killer is like a bigger version of the Fire, but the Fire has more angles in its shape. I would really say it plays like a bigger Fire, and it's got throwback, that's the downside, but I think most oversize yoyos have throwback, as far as those I've tried, it seem so.

the last one, Lover, my personal favorite.

weight: 63.5g
diameter: 57mm
width: 42mm
bearing: size C concave
This one, from what I saw at a China yoyo forum, it actually came with mirror caps, with really look gorgeous on the silver color runs. But the one I go doesn't have mirror cap to go with, but it's in the making though. So I really like this yoyo, it has a shape, again, similar to most yoyos of today, more of an hourglass shape with rounder rims rather than flat ones. The stability is rather great, but if you must ask me to compare, honestly, although I prefer the Lover to the other two yoyos, I think the other two yoyo have better stability, but that's just me.

This one feels comfy in the palm, and actually don't feel heavy too, but during play, feels a little rim weighted. I also tried playing one with cap, and it actually plays pretty nice, you know some yoyos have a little weird feeling when you play with their caps on, and I mean like cardboard caps of some sort, not those plastic polycarbonate caps like the freehand zero and the fast201's. When I got this, there were some minor scratches and scuff already, but it didn't affect the play one bit, I in fact like it a lot, I play with it the most. It's smooth, fast, and stable which was mentioned, and like the other two, it haven't snag on me yet. 

And yes, slacks, whips and flops are pretty smooth on both Fire and Lover, for me, maybe not so fun on the slacks for Killer.

Local players, I actually would encourage you to try these yoyos out, you can look for me or Li Tian Cheng during yoyo meetings. I know the local new kids now a days are all about YYR and TP and stuff like that, but you haven't try these, I really would say they're pretty good, and if I'm not mistaken, these are ranging from S$70-80, which is pretty cheap for a full metal. Not that the bigger brands aren't better, but if you need a cheaper alternative, you can try this out, really.
