Yo-Yo Review – One Drop Sovereign – 32:50

  • Titanium
  • Price point, Less than $200
  • Curvy sexy shape, much different than other One Drop yo-yos, like the Project 2
  • Plays heavier than it feels
  • Official weight is 64g, our weight is 65g
  • Yo-yo is very stable, and the titanium metal allowed them to design the yo-yo with lots of rim weight
  • Plays very awesome
  • Grinds well, but One Drop is looking to do some kind of bead blast/anno
  • Flow grove, C bearing
  • IRG is great
  • One Drop has them at the National Yo-Yo Contest, check them out

Trick Tutorial – Kirby Kirchgasler – Jailbreak – 44:00

Trivia Question answer – From the One Drop website – “The “one drop” is a classic roots drum beat. It is the exact opposite of a standard “western” drum beat. It’s simple to play technically but to play it well requires great feel and soul. In this, we found the basis of our business. Just like the “one drop” puts it’s accent in a completely unexpected place, we too, do things differently than expected. While our products are technically very sound, the most important thing you’ll notice is the way they feel; you’ll know that they are crafted by people who have put their heart and soul into them.” -

Winner – Matt Kubota – 52:30

We do not have a podcast/downloadable version avb at this moment.  Please check back later in the week for that. We would also like to apologize for the audio problems in this episode.  Audio is the most difficult thing for any production.  A splitter that was working fine last week is now causing a buzz.  The problem has been resolved and shouldn’t return.
