Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

Budget Busters

Saturday, June 27th, 2009

When One Drop Yo Yos first released the M1, it sparked a rave among the yo-yo community. Finally, a high performance metal yo-yo at the 2/3 to even 1/2 the price of your average high-performance metal.

Not long after, however, YoyoFactory figured they too could play the same game, and released three budget busters, the DV888, a collaboration project between YoyoFactory and Dave Bazaan from Buzzon Yo-Yos, the Hectic, another metal yo-yo that sports a rather unique design, and lastly, the Frantic, which takes the shape of the Catch 22.

The new SGD$48.00 PGM(left) and the older SGD$70.00 PGM(right)...so what's the difference?

So we’ve got a few people asking us about the difference between the old and new Plastic Grind Machines,  questions which include, “Why the price drop?”, or “Does it play better?”, or “Is it a new design?” etc.

We decided to take both father and son out for a spin to find out more…
