They're are super smooth on the string and by that I mean they don't seem to emit any vibrations, like all other diabolos i've played with (babache, circus, yoho's etc). This feature together with the shiny appearance means it looks like they are hardly spinning at all. In this case looks are deceiving these babies seem not only spin up to speed quite quick but they also seem to hold there spin in a similar way to the more heavy diablos do. The width of the axle means they're groovy for doing suns and fans ie quite forgiving. They grind for an age on carbon sticks and fingers alike. The best bit of all is the weight, whilst not being super light they're light enough so the a prolonged session won't leave you needing ice bag on ya wrist (yohos!) and also seem to keep there speed like the heavier ones, so best of both worlds. Oh and the colours are fantastic.Right i'm waffling now in short these are the best diabolos i've used in a long time (i've been doing it for 15 years on and off!) and i'm getting me some!
On first glance, all i could think was 'Wow! These are shiny!' this, combined with the smoothness of the material makes them seem plastic, but i assure you, they are nothing like the flys. The cup material is hard and solid like Yohos or Diabigs, but has a little more flex. The axles are strange, the are like a narrow version of JC's design, but seem to be extremely stable. The whole diabolo seems to be still on the string when infact it is spinning extremely fast. The diabolos are light, and would be a hit with finesse fans, or fixed fly fans. The weight is going to take some getting used to for me as i am used to using Yohos which are like bricks compared to these. The spinning time, unfortunately is not as long as other diabs, but its acceleration is much faster. The Diabolos are the most stable i have ever used, even more stable then flys i would say.The one problem i have is that the colour rubs off everywhere, not appearing to mark or taint the diabolo in any way, but they do leave to sticks/room a bit purple.I have only used these for 1d and 2d, and they are great for both, perhaps a weight kit could be manufactured to improve them for people who prefer heavier diabs?These are a great addition to any collection, and personally i would pick them over Flys any day.
it stays shiny for about half and hour. then it goes dull but the play is the same so i wouldnt worry about it.
Aw, that's a shame, Taibolos are so shiny that I want to buy them just for that purpose Not really.I wonder how William keeps his so shiny?
