YoYoSkeels X Diamont Noir Sparkle

 yes, the one on the left if the Stalker, no the one on the right isn't. its a Sparkle. a collaboration between local maker Diamont Noir and Malaysian maker YoYoSkeel.
more prototype photos.

think of it as a refined, heavier Stalker. more rim weighted, more stable.
read more at YoYoSkeel's.

YoYoSkeel Syok

new delrin from YoYoSkeel in the making. Syok.
Syok means Fun in the Malay language, probably the same meaning as the slang we use in Singapore, Shiok. this is just prototype so expect more pictures to come.

YoYoSkeel Solid

been long been long, and here you are, the Solid by YoYoSkeel!
like i mentioned, it feels very solid, thus the name Solid?

it feels very heavy for its size, its over 75g.
i wasn't expecting it to be this heavy though, maybe like 68-70g?
if you don't like heavy yoyo... then this is not for you, i guess. some players compared it to the YYR Messiah, on first look, yes it does resemble a YYR Messiah a little, but the shape is obviously very different.
like the Stalker, the Solid also comes with a Center-Trac bearing, in fact, to my understanding, all YoYoSkeel yoyos are supported with the Center-Trac bearing.
its very wide, and spins very long, there's weight everywhere on this yoyo~
although its undersized, i couldn't play it fast, but its just me though, SY Rep Darrell Mitchell manage to play fast with it. 
one thing for sure you can sustain long combos with this yoyo with a normal throw, it hardly ever tilt on me, lacerations are fine, grinds however, for me, it climbs, its not exactly butter smooth for me. thumbmounts/chopsticks works very well, well, its undersized! front-style trick however, feels a little uncomfortable for me. but its just me of course. i haven't let anybody try horizontal tricks with it, but i feel you'll need some good control as the weight kinda pull it down, gravity suck sometimes.

overall, this yoyo's pretty good, other than one thing i would like to add, the bind, for me, it ain't tight enough, the yoyo gap is wide, which is nice, fun, makes landing whole lot easier, but i personally feel the bearing seat could have been deeper, to make it have a tighter bind. it's unresponsive, pretty good, but binding could have been better? i personally like a tighter bind, maybe a slightly smaller bearing gap would works wonder compensate its heavy weight! anyways, its always better to try out the yoyo itself than to just read a write-up~ do look out for me in meetings to try out the YoYoSkeel Solid!

videos soon hopefully!
