C3YoyoDesign Halo

 C3YoyoDesign Halo.
first of all, apologies for the lack of updates as i have been on school attachment. now i'm back from that~ so this post have been on draft mode for about a month now i think i should get my ass around working on it!
first thing first, i tried this at AP2011, and was wondering if i'll ever get to try this out more and make a video of it. Walter send me one! i was excited to try it longer!
white delrin yoyo with this shape really makes it look very nice! it look kinda big to me at first sight, but it feels pretty comfortable on first hold.
it's smoothness! its feels a little oversized, a little bulky compared to most yoyo i've held. but it plays wonderfully like a normal sized one.

Weight (g): 68.5
Width (mm): 42.5
Diameter (mm): 57.5
Gap Width (mm): 4.5
Bearing: Center Trac Large bearing
Response: Silicon Sticker

okay, the production one definitely look way cooler than this one i have.
many people tried this and said they wanna switch to using delrin, does that make you realise how good it is? very. its smooth, its fast, its a little floaty may i say? at least i feel so. it grinds, like all delrin, the weight is very well distributed. CT bearing makes it feels very very nice! i dont know how it'll feel using a KK, KK fans gotta try it out yourself~ like the Darkstar, the Halo handle backspin well, but oh well, its the CT bearing! very long spin time allows me to fool around combos and create new stuff.
the hub of the yoyo is pretty unique, it looks like it can be taken off, i don't know if the design helps in any way, Walter didn't mention anything to me so i suppose its just the design, but either way, this yoyo is great, so whatever reason there is to design it that way, it worked.
as usual, i suck at doing horizontal tricks so i ain't sure how well it can handle them, but i think i saw latest C3 team member Wei Xuan doing some horizontal tricks with it and it seems promising. and yes, there will be video of this in action, either a just Halo video, or something that feature all the C3 yoyos. depends on schedule~ not so soon though.
i'll be bringing the more newer sample i got rather than the whole bag of samples, so you guys can try out the Halo from me or Weixuan, or both to see if there's any differences in each individual pieces.
