So finally, here it is, my opinion on the Timeless Yoyos Glamour, sorry for the delay.
So when I got the yoyo, it's in a zipper bag along with few packets of Timeless strings, so I'm not sure how the final package will look. When I first saw it, I didn't dig the shape, it was kind of familiar, but I couldn't recall which yoyo was it. I'm not sure of the weight yet, I'll say maybe like a 67? Will amend when I get the specs.
Specs: 55m diameter, 43width, 66g.
The Glamour I got comes with a flat large bearing, installed with a red pad of their own.
I turn the yoyo about and take a closer look at it, even though I didn't dig the shape, I still try it, of course. I put on a kitty string, gave a few throws, it's actually pretty good, considering me not digging the shape and all. I feel it's a little floaty, but pretty rim weighted even though it doesn't feel heavy on the palm. And even though I don't dig the shape, I've to say it feels pretty comfortable in the palm as well. The Glamour has pretty long spin and good stability, I could do combos with ease, and it's definitely good for horizontal stuff! I can't do horizontal, but I see my acquaintance doing it.
Grinding wise, it doesn't really have the finish that's used specifically for grinding, nor do I think it was made for grinding priority, I think it's more for horizontal style, and it's pretty successful I'll say.
On a string-hold test, the vibe meter is really low like most metal yoyos, but it really runs very smoothly on the string during combos, string rejections doesn't seems like a problem to me, and it kind of handle backspin pretty well, and it has a nice tight bind which I like.
Overall, I would say it's something I would just pick up to play with, and something I myself can compete with. It's fun, and can be used as a competing yoyo, but it's not my main though.
