Light weight Diabolos

[AznnBoyaZ]

Hello all!
So, I'm yet again back with another question.
I've only played with Asian diabolos currently, and recently got a henrys circus.
Now, I love my Sundia suns, Glary Taibolos and my Circus.
My only issue with the circus and Suns, are the weight.

I'm looking for a light weight diabolo, similar to a taibolo. I say similar, as Taibolos don't seem to feel stable enough.
I was looking at the G4 with the Ultra solutions. and the Circus with the ultra solutions.
Those 2 seem to really stand out to me. I love the way Taibolos feel, they just seem a bit too.. Thin? The walls don't feel thick enough.
My only Gripe with getting either of the 2 diabolos with the Ultra solutions, is where to find them. I obviously would like a Full set of 3-4.
And they seem very hard to find! And rather expensive.

And I noticed Epic A-Dreams getting popular. I read through the reviews etc. My one question is, How do the walls of the Epics feel?
The Weight and other specs seem spot on.

Has anyone tried these babies? I've seen them used in a few performances and they seem super light and darned stable

Last, Unrelated question. Where would I be able to find a larger roll of Taibolo white string? By far the best string I've had a pleasure of playing.

Every time I post, I feel like I'm whining over new diabolos haha!
I Should really post a video or something. Seriously.

Well.. I've had the pleasure of using the Juggling Dream Typhoons from Oddballs for some months now, and they are brilliant diabolos

They are 240 grams, super stable, and I am yet to be tired of playing with them for extended periods of time. Just allround nice and light diabolos you dont notice the weight when doing tricks, but the impact they have on your arms are tremendous.

Ohhh! Those look nice! What're they comparable to? They appear to be close to a Taibolo!

I've also used them for a bit and yes, they're close-ish to a Taibolo. Quite light and cheap.

That makes me feel excited!

Any other suggestions? Also! Either of you try the Taiwanese Diabolo I posted?

How do these compare to the circus?
It sucks that Oddballs doesn't do profile shots! haha

[Tipper]

Hubs and axle are similar to taibolo, cups are like sundia suns and the weight is like nothing else!

I dont quite know about the big top, since I havent tried it. But if you buy the typhoons you wont regret it I prefer cups that arent super rubbery, so the circus and big tops wouldnt be fitting for me.

Dunno if i can help you pick which diabolos you need. but what i can tell you is that the more weight the diabolo has it is generally going to be more stable and spin for longer due to the fact that it carries more momentum which is why i prefer Finesse's.

I also have Epics which are far more stable than glary and pretty light aswell. dunno about Tiabolo V2's as i've never had a go on them but im sure they are pretty much the same feel.

Good Luck.

So, Typhoons are like pretty much super awesome?
Geez. Not I have to try one out.
Geez. So many options now geez.

Also, Now That I found another website.

My options are
Typhoons, Epics, Bigtops(Maybe), and upgraded Circus.
They all seem nice and cheap.
And yet very nice performing.

Epics and Typhoons, seem super nice. Sundia cup with Taibolo guts. and a super light weight. nice.
How's the stability compared to Sundias? That is my biggest question now

Circuses are super stable, just WAY heavy. If the metal was removed (Like the upgraded version is 50g lighter)

[Tipper]

The typhoons are surprisingly stable! Better than my sundia suns, finesse g3 or g4, and basically any other diabolo ive tried

WOAH WOAH. Better?! Like. More stable?! WOW
I must get some. Geez

I'll offer the other side of personal preferences - the typhoons are NOT better than my sundia suns.

One of these days I'll be free enough to finish writing my review of them.

Well now I'd like to see this comparison.
I love it when people have diverting views. I wonder what the outcome will be! Haha!

As for me, I would recommend Sundia Shining Crystal with competition fixed axles. Their weight is 250 g, they look similar to the typhoons and are also really stable...

I already have them. They feel too heavy for some reason. Maybe mine are 270s?

[Mecyr]

Maybe you have the standard fixed axle. The competition fixed axle is about 10 g lighter..

Hm. I didn't know that.

And I may have to look into finding 2 more Crystals, and the Axle if I dont end up getting something else mentioned.
I do like these diabolos though
Smoothest by far.

Thank you!
I may get 2 of those axles for my current 2!

And then order a new set, of whatever diabolo I pick later on!
