sOMEThING by YoYoAddict V


There was the Angle, then the AnGlam, then the V.
The one I have is a pre-release that's exclusive to Spinworkx and YoYoAddict only, but only 4 pieces available at Spinworkx.
More photos.






Here's the shape comparison between the Angle and the V, I don't have an AnGlam so I can't give you a side by side shot with it, but the Angle is close.

Here's the size different.

Now the thing with the V is, the caps, they can be flipped.
there's a threading on the inner rims and caps so you can turn it out.

So the yoyo comes with the caps "recessed" or something like that, sorry I couldn't find a better word to describe :(
but yea, it can be difficult to turn it out because there isn't much friction or grip to the flat surface of the cap, mine's pretty easy to remove on one side, pretty hard on the other, but stuff with grippy surface helps solve the problem. So the first picture over here is how it came stocked.
 turn it out just by pressing your finger against the cap and turn/rotate it anti-clockwise.




 Flip it, screw it back in clockwise.
 Note that I didn't screw mine all the way in because I have problem taking it out later, it should appear flatly align with the rim of the halves.

Now the purpose of the flipping of the cap is to bring the weight to the outside, which make it more rim weighted, so it depends on which you prefer.

I personally am loving this yoyo, it's really one of the nicest playing delrin ever yet.
Really smooth on the string, long spinning, stable as well, I've seen horizontal tricks done on it and players make it seem easy. Suggested retail price was approximately 4800JPY, plus, minus a little.

As far as I know, pre-release comes in White with yellow caps, Yellow with white caps, and Yellow with black caps, without logos and such. 

However, production release will be having Yellow body with either white caps, or black caps with logo. Pretty much like these below.


I would say, you can't go wrong with this yoyo by sOMEThING.
If you already got one at BIYO2012, share your opinion on this yoyo in the comments for the benefit of those wanting to get one.
