Gold Meteor

Long time no see! Missed me? =)

Guess what arrived in the mail this morning?

Oh look! A new box design! Full plastic instead of paper! Eye candy at first sight!

More eye candy!

The guts of it. Unfortunately this new batch of meteors dont accept the One Drop silicone pads. iPads fit in just fine though, but i hate that stuff already... So i had no choice but to make due with the red gasket maker which i had to fill in myself. Bearing seats are redesigned (YoYoJam likes to redesign their yoyos -.-) and are better now i guess, so is the axle which is now shorter and fatter. But this makes it stronger and less prone to fall damage.

Close up of the new bearings! Notice it has YYJ engraved on the shields, and according to mickey these bearings are stainless steel. Pre-washed for unresponsive play too! Truly an advance level yoyo out of the box! And i think it came with a polyester string instead of the usual slick-6.

Ive yet to actually play with it because im waiting for the silicone to fully cure. But im sure it will be awesome as usual. =)
