Lori Weight Rings for Adegle PSG

Metal weight rings for your PSG?

 These rings are produce by YoyoLori, caps will have to be removed during play in order for the ring to work.

these are only available at the upcoming ODYC2012 event in held in Taiwan at the moment.
not sure if they're gonna be release to the public internationally though.

Adegle Asteroid

when I was talking to Lin-Kai about the flaws of the first batch PSG, he mentioned things will improve on the next plastic yoyo, and I was already looking forward to it, when he release pictures of the Asteroid, I was kinda excited, I like the color, and I wonder how a plastic Comet would play.
I replied to one of his photo on facebook saying I love the lime green color, and I was pretty happy he actually send the lime green one as a sample! so here's more photos along more talking...

before I move on to express my opinion on the Asteroid, I believe some of you want some comparison photos, so here goes.

here's the Asteroid half and PSG half.

and here's the Asteroid half and Comet half to compare shapes.

here's more of the whole yoyo, and their parts.

the Comet looks smaller than the Asteroid in this photo above, but its not the case, the Asteroid is in fact wider, but not any larger in diameter, it looks bigger probably because of the angle I took the photo.

First thing first, the Asteroid is actually a plastic version of the Comet, which used to be the signature yoyo for Iskandar Shah when he was still on Adegle. the Asteroid uses the same thickness spacers as the PSG, which is the new thinner ones. The caps are smaller than PSG's, the caps are removable, but I couldn't get it to come off, so I can't take photos of the hub area. I remember seeing a picture somewhere of the Asteroid haing weight rings in the hub area, I'm not sure if its a setup or it came stock since I couldn't take the caps out, I haven't check with Lin-Kai about this. The Asteroid, compared to  the PSG, also very limited wall area, much like YYR's.

On to how it plays, the first time I throw it, honestly speaking, it feels exactly like a PSG, in my mind I was thinking, "hey, these yoyo plays exactly the same even though the shapes are so different...". that's what I initially feel, but after more plays, it begin to feel different, the Asteroid have a more throw out feel, probably because of the thin wall.

I'm not exactly used to that, but quite a few of the local players like it though.

to some players, you may need a little time getting used to throwing the yoyo, because the shape's pretty edgy. the yoyo's pretty stable for a plastic yoyo, it also spins pretty long, but I myself, couldn't get the spin long enough for some combos though.however, if you have to compare it to the PSG, for my case, I feel the PSG has a more stable spin, BUT I remember someone told me he prefer the Asteroid, if I'm not mistaken it's Iskandar. Grinding wise, it doesn't really grind. the surface's not exactly for grinding, the shape too. but this yoyo does have smoothness, its fast, on the string, smooth, it runs on a flat bearing by the way, and pad size the same as the PSG, it handles everything I threw, lacerations, slacks, I think the suicides are pretty nice.

overall, if you ask me, I would honestly say I prefer the PSG to the Asteroid in terms of playability but that's just me, I have players telling me they want to play with the Asteroid, many times, I'll assume they like it alot.
now I won't be doing a durability test on this yoyo, which some people asked about, so don't expect any durability test for this. Local players, I'll still be bringing this to meetings be sure to try this out.

SYBlog: Adegle PSG Abuse Test

There was an entry about the PSG being broken here, and here's the video of the partial abuse.

Broken Adegle PSG, More Photos.

so here's more photos of the broken sample "abuse" Adegle PSG for those who might be interested to take a closer look on what forms is it broken into, so you can analyse its durability and stuff like that.
you know, like, "oh, the cap's still intact, it probably got nothing to do with the caps issue, bla bla bla..." I don't know, I'm no guru in making yoyos like I was told before~ and honestly unlike writing a write-up, I'm unable to give feedbacks on what I think might be the problem because I saw how it was broken but I didn't really see which part was hit on the floor. so here's more photos!

I won't be able to take new photos of another angle after tomorrow because these are to be send back to Adegle, LinKai wants to take a look at it. so I hope whatever posted here helps.

Adegle PSG Destroy Test [SY]

so yea, Jason Cheow broke it.

I mentioned that I won't be making a promo video for the PSG, instead, I'll be making a video of it being abused. unfortunately I didn't expect it to be at this moment, I didn't have my camcorder ready.

so let me remind you that the Adegle PSG is designed to be an entry level yoyo, and tough enough to withstand any normal level of abuse under normal yoyo play.

but what we do here is not normal yoyo play. if you gonna do what we do to your yoyo, do it at your own risk.

last Saturday, I have some players playing 5A with this Cyan PSG, now we're talking about the Cyan PSG because its the one meant for abusive play, so yea, 5A, some drops, it was fine.
some players felt some vibe, I'm telling you now, the vibe comes from the silicone I applied to bond the caps to the halves, I tried without the silicone and it didn't vibe, but we can't really play with it without applying silicone or glue or whatsoever, the caps will fly off. so here I am, talking about what causes the vibe, if anyone feels I'm defending the PSG, I wouldn't have post the broken picture first thing right after we broke it.

so after 5A, I had Sean Hung play 4A with it, drops, and intentional hard bounce to the carpeted floor, switch back to 1A, still playable, a little vibe, caps flew off due to silicone loosen, WHICH after I went home and try without siliconing the caps first, no vibes. believe or not, readers, its up to you.

and then, last night, some players were doing the usual stuff that LinKai was doing, throwing the yoyo around the ground and stuff, still playable, that was after I use silicone to bond the caps back to the halves. and then again, Jason Cheow, one of our upcoming talented local player, wants to try out how durable the PSG was, he grab it by the end of the string, the loop part, hold the PSG, give it a hard swing to the carpeted floor and slam it. bam. there. it breaks.

I was told by LinKai, we're the first to break the PSG.

more photos.

however, I did take footage of Sean abusing the PSG, will probably post it when I have the time to export it. And Thanks Lin-Kai for agreeing to send me more than one sample, and let me literally abuse the yoyo to test its tolerance.

Adegle PSG Destroy Test

This was a test by Adegle.
so he was trying to show you how durable the yoyo is, the car went over and back, everything's fine except for the axle, through out the whole video, the yoyo halves never left the camera view, everything was in one take, that's Lin-Kai's purpose of showing you there's no camera tricks whatsoever.
axle changed, no wobbles, still plays fine. But this however, I think, was before the PSG was being improved, but since during the improvement process, only the spacers were changed, I guess there shouldn't be any huge difference? I may not be producing a promo video for this yoyo, but instead may make a video to show how much abuse it may take. but will still keep one stock for players who are keen to try, to see the difference between a stock and an abused one.


Lin-Kai once told me they were gonna make another video of the PSG being hit by a baseball bat, but due to typhoon or some sort, they canceled the filming. I do hope they go ahead and do it. let us see how much the yoyo can take.a

Adegle PSG (Plastic SandGlass) - Probability Density Flux

Adegle PSG final

The PSG was talked about earlier on, with changes expected to be made.

so here it is, back and improved. so what are the changes?

this will be the production stage, no more changes will be made according to Lin-Kai.

so I receive a new yellow PSG, I gave a few throws, its indeed better, a whole lot better I'd say. The bind was the biggest problem, it slips, bind wasn't tight, these all changed, the bind is tight, it no longer slips. I took the yoyo apart, trying to see what are the changes, i see no changes on the yoyo body, the only change I see, is the spacer. it became thinner.

the new spacer's on the left, old one on the right.

thats a pretty huge change, alot of thickness taken off, but it works really well, so much better. some photos of the new one in yellow, compared to the old one in blue/green.

look at the gap, its pretty obvious.

so again, there's no changes made to the yoyo body, only to the spacers.

that being said, there's still one issue with the PSG. the cap.

remember I mention it will fly off? well this run of PSG have their caps glued on, so it'll not fly out. but you can still remove it, you need more effort though.
Lin-Kai mentioned that he'll try to fix the cap issue on the next plastic that they're planning to make. so I guess we're expecting a new plastic from Adegle soon.

I also have to add that, new bearing has been used on the new PSGs, Lin-Kai didn't specify what type of bearing, but he said its a better one compared to the old one, because the bearing in my old PSG, the one for abuse, is kinda damaged.a

and since the spacer is the only change being made to the PSG, I requested for spare new spacers for the old PSG just so you guys can try the PSG in stock and abused stage.
