Opinion: Tait Design Co. Sling-Slang Yoyo
So Matthew Tait was nice to send me a Sling-Slang yoyo to try out!
I first came across this in the beginning of December last year in tumblr when I randomly search yoyo, and it instantly caught my attention. I've seen a couple of yoyos being produced by non-yoyo maker, and they all didn't really make me wow, but that's just me. When I first saw this, it was on WeAndTheColor's tumblr page, and I immediately feel I have to go search more about it, and I eventually went to Tait Design Co.'s website. That's where I sent an email to Matt and ask more about the product and stuff. And there, I was offered one to try out! And man I love it. It's the first yoyo made by non-yoyo maker that caught my attention instantly, and it look so nice, in my opinion, and looking at the grooved aluminum axle, I was expecting it to play really well~ And I really, really like the packaging. Unboxing video and more pictures before I move on!
So, I got it, I was excited, I open it, assembled it, put on a kitty string, and gave it a throw, it felt pretty nice, but I MUST say that, it's Matt's first attempt at making a yoyo, doing a long sleeper isn't an issue, I was able to hit a Trapeze, sometimes a Double or Nothing, I could do Loops with it, Hops and even Shoot the Moon. But anything else fails, I could hardly do Split the Atom although I manage to hit it once. The moment the layer of string goes into the string gap, it kills the spin. However, Matt's gonna get that fixed, either in the next run, or possibly an all new product!
Remember, this is never mean to be a competition yoyo, it's for fun, designed by a designer.
It's still playable nonetheless.
I am still playing mine even though I could barely do many tricks with it.
Maybe some of you who mod out there can mod it the way you want it to be?
I don't know for sure.
Also, Tait Design Co. and I are hosting a giveaway HERE. So do check it out and stand a chance to win a Tait Design Co. Sling-Slang Yoyo!

Opinion: VOSUN Eztrik
It's been a while since I receive this yoyo, write up on yoyos has been delayed because of busy school schedule. But here I am. Pictures first.
I want to start off by saying the yoyo looks nicer in real life in my opinion, but that's because I wasn't expecting it to feel like this. First impression reminds me of Aero-Yo's yoyo, but it quickly gives me a different impression after I unbox it. It's feels smooth and comfortable in the hand, and a little wee bit bulky, feels very slightly oversized.
I don't know if anyone else with this yoyo feels the same but I feel that it has a very wide string gap, and its bind aren't tight, I usually require a few tries to get it back, but this yoyo came with a Center-Trac bearing, so that maybe switching it to a flat bearing might help. But that aside... The yoyo spins long, smooth, and strong. Grinds are nice and smooth, and it's pretty wide, the catch zone is pretty wide. Even though it's stated weight is 65.5g, and the rim don't look thick, it feels a little rim weighted during spin, I attempted IRG and I think it's possible. Like most yoyos, the Eztrik handles more things I threw at it, needless to say. Even though I mentioned it feels bulky, rim weighted and wide, it's still fast on the string without any vibe during play, even during spin on a string hold/finger test. But I must say that the Eztrik I own has a slightly tight bearing seat, it cause a little bit of sound when taken apart and assemble back together, usually with yoyo like that, the feeling on string play changes as you take apart the yoyo more, for the Eztrik, I haven't got any issues, good thing is it doesn't have that loose bearing feeling that yoyos with loose bearing seat have.
Overall my only concern about it is the response/bind. It's just not tight enough for me, but I've watch the video by Shakeel with the Eztrik and he doesn't seem to have that problem, so those who have the Eztrik and have a different opinion on it, do share your opinion in the comment section!
Also, I did an Instagram mini contest with Vosun, I'll announce the winner soon ON INSTAGRAM.
