New MB diabolo: "Tornado" (and evolution #2, 5)

[Niclas]

http://jonglerie.com/en/news/ and scroll down a bit and you can see 2 finesse diabolos with somthing new in the cups!!
Or maybe it's decoration only?

^edit if you going to the Online Catalog you can see it is EVOLUTION KIT 5 PRISMA that's the only as are written about it!!

;2nd edit i also found that the diabolo on the http://jonglerie.com/en/news/ above the evulation kit 5 in the online catalog and i can read it is Tornado Diabolo......but it looks exactly like a finesse......but in the catalog the finesse picture are next to the Tornado. The finesse picture have many finesses on it!! ;

[Aaron Z]

Wait, so those crazy silver spinny things are part of the FINESSE Evolution Kit set? Number 5, you said?

But then you also said they're for the Babache 'Tornado', which I've never heard of... maybe they're compatible...

I'm very interested, tell us more!

[Aaron Z]

Thanks alot for that, Niclas.

The Tornado looks like it could become an interesting diabolo...

[Aaron Z]

Holy McHell, Batman!

Follow Niclas' last link, click on "CATALOGUE MISTER BABACHE 07.pdf etc." and TAKE A LOOK AT THE FINISHED EVO. 2 for Finesse!!!


!!!!!!!

[Niclas]

I think we can also call the Tornado, finesse g4

[tipiphil]

The Tornado is a smaller lighter version of the Finesse.

TAKE A LOOK AT THE FINISHED EVO. 2 for Finesse!!!

If you also look at  the Catalog News 2008 you will see the only kits listed are the Evo 1, 3, 4 and the new 5 (prism things) - NO mention of the fabled Evo 2 - don't get too excited!!

[William]

Wow. The evo 5 looks cool. So what the hell is it?

[Niclas]

Wow. The evo 5 looks cool. So what the hell is it?

In the catalog it says:
Gives your diabolo a flashy look day and night!
For Finesse diabolos and Tornado diabolos!

[William]

So its only decoration. Perhaps I should get one for performing, it may induce a few seizures from stage lighting though.

[Kingsid3]

I need another G3 now, man. In the 07 catolog it shows the  evo 2 kit, man i have serious gas issues for one of them.

[Aaron Z]

The FINISHED Evo.2 IS visible in a picture in the lower-middle section of the PDF I mentioned earlier, I saw and read it ma' self.

Take a look for it!

The FINISHED Evo.2

I'll believe it when I see it. As for these decoration things: I'm not too fussed, other than for a performance they don't seem that useful.

[Aaron Z]

I agree with this guy ^^^, those decorations don't seem likely to be a performance addition.
If Babache are as clever a' bunch of designers as they are, if they were creating a cosmetic addition specifically they wouldn't want it to have an effect on the performance of a diabolo.

If they don't want the plate to have a performance effect, for example weight addition, they would of course make them from light plastic.
If that's the case, then at least they'll be hella cheap.

There IS a picture of a very complete-looking Evo.2 Finesse Bearing Axle in the pdf. document I mentioned earlier which is found at the mid-lower region of the document, on the Babache website.

Tornado

Finesse
135mm
130mm
weight    245gr

[tommi]

Hmm, check out the measurements for that Tornado diab, it weights only 216 grams and is 123 mm wide, seems like it is the smaller version of Finesse..

ups, seán_ was faster..

[Jimthegrim]

keep on spinning rims for the diab?

Yep, thats what they look like to me. MB might be taking pimpin up diabs too literally.

Uses of a studded diabolo:

- cooking in the sun
- self-defense
- mirror

I'm really confused as to what the purpose, diabolo-wise, would be. Harder UFO grinds?

[William]

It seems that UFO grind with finesse must not be hard enough already. MR BABACHE WANTS YOU TO FAIL.
