so after i had enough of the 401K, well... actually not, whatever, i went straight for the PYRO...
here's some quick review... i play wit it stock, unlike the 401, i mentioned about replacing of bearing... washed & stuff, i haven't washed the bearing, but i heard some players saying its already washed, some say 2nd run are lightly lubed... anyway, its kinda responsive, unlike what i've ask from some singaporean players, saying its very unresponsive... but maybe its due to the fact that i haven't washed the bearing...
first throw was rather careful cause heard about the string cutting issue... have been throwing very hard ever since... haven't got any trouble as of yet... its wide, but feels great in the palm. long spin, very long, after grinding i can still do a lot of combos, and still get it back. maybe its just me but 401K's grinding feel smoother... but other then the feeling of the grind, both are still equal. like i mention, very long spin... no idea how to describe, but i would say this thing got powerful spin, u may feel that its spin is running out, but when u get it back u'll feel the impact... if u get what i mean... ;) i din't really manage to do ring grinds*... cause its still responsive, when ever i do ring grinds, the string will get spin in... playing aside, the PYRO has a very thin axle but came wit an extra one wit the package. comes wit side caps too, easier to insert this time round... and one yoyojam string.

so earlier on i was posting about the review of the 401K, i know alot has already bought it, but for those who haven't and wanna get a rough idea whats wit it, it comes wit extra clear shuttles, not the rubber one, its the plastic one. 2 different string, 1 yoyojam, 1 cotton. there's a reason for this, its stated in the instruction booklet. along wit 2 dif-pads. remember mine's a regular 401K, the Espionage is slightly different.

[edited]*
regarding ring grinds... yes. i think cuz i'm not good wit ring grinds... i can't even let it continue spinning after popping out from the ring grind... maybe its just me. sorry dude, i din't manage to give a proper review on the ring grinds...

finally, my long awaited package arrives....

there's the pyro, the 401K, andsome free stuff, hyper raider, stealth raider, yoyoguy wooden yoyo...

i have to say the 401K plays great...the feeling of it in my palm is good, nice shape. i took out the 401 bearing, replace wit a coldfusion bearing( cause the CF bearing's already unshield & washed...)... not sure if its actually the same bearing, but its still great, i haven't got my rubber shuttle yet cause its temporily out of stock in II so i used the shuttle that came wit it, for me, i guess its abit too unresponsive, but i din't wanna use the dif-pads, so i tune 7 on both sides... comes back easily wit a bind, and still sleep forever...it can handle all the tricks i throw at it... almost all kinds, or maybe u can take away the word 'almost'... lacerations, be it clock-wise or counter clock wise lacerations, this thing can handle it, as u guys know, some friction sticker yoyo can't handle counter clock wise lacerations... 'pop out' tricks (e.g last part of rancid milk where yoyo pop out of a look-alike wrist mount), i won't say its too wide since i can easily pop the yoyo out of these mounts... speedy tricks, IMO, if u're doing speedy fusion tricks like mickey's, its not easy using this thing, but if u're doing new school speedy tricks like yuuki's, yep it can, but then again, its just my opinion... grindability is great~! mine's a regular 401 by the way... thumb grind wise... my fingers are small but i still can't do ring grinds, like what most players mentioned, because of the dial there...but still, this'll most likely be the yoyo that travels wit me in my pocket & not in the case... if u get what i mean ;)

i haven't really tried my PYRO yet, its a second run... i addicted to the 401K at the moment... not to forget the PPK is coming out soon... lol. but still i love the pyro, its design, everything... just haven't try it yet.

take at look at Titi Freak's website~! Nice pic there...
