Reviewing in the cold is gangster. Flannel and breath clouds make this one of your more epic reviews. 💯🪀

I'm thinking this year will be a year for fun, powerful, non competition yoyos. Edc yoyos this year, customizable, mix and match, lots of colorways and high quality. An exploration of older ideas, and rereleases of older shapes with modern upgrades

Just received the Koi today, great throw and love the finish! 👍

Trend of 2021 - modern responsive.
Due to an injury I'm finding normal weight yoyos a bit painful to throw so I've been playing around with my old Duncan Proyo for the past month and it's rekindled my interest in responsive play. Was thinking of picking up a Deep State or Alleycat 650b (watched your reviews) but they're a bit hard to come by in the UK, so whilst browsing on Amazon I spotted the new MagicYoyo T7 - it's a 56g slim responsive for under 20$.
I've been playing with the T7 for the past few days and really enjoying it. I haven't thrown any other modern responsives so I don't know how it compares - would love it if you did a review!

Great review as always and great looking yo-yo. Definitely gonna pick one of these up! 👍

[slevitt]

Great review. Another organic. Definitely a trend. I would like to see a group review. Not necessarily to pick the best, but to highlight differences (e.g. weight, size, slight shape differences, etc.).

Can you put fat or xxl string on it and it work good?or doea it need normal string?

[hesperaux]

I think 2021 will have a lot of minis. I hope so at least.
