Thread: 3Yo3 Cosmo: A High Speed YoYo Review

I have to say the anticipation of receiving the Cosmo was a wonderful experience yet torture at the same time. With its clear acrylic body, thoughts of all the cool high-speed footage I wanted to shoot were the only things that held me at bay while I sat at the window waiting to pounce the mailbox. The Cosmo is a yoyo made by Landon Balk and the first in his line. It uses a clear acrylic body allowing total transparency and it’s simply drop dead gorgeous. Was this yoyo just a pretty face or was it going to be a true player. This is the thought that kept rolling thru my mind. I was a little on the skeptical side and Landon reaffirmed me I was going to love it. Did I?

Brett seemed to love it. I get to try the Cloud 9 version which I am excited about. Bead blasted, grinding goodness. :)

I have two Cloud9 prototypes. In a way, the bead blasting was kinda my idea, I don't know if Landon thought of it before me, but the name was coined by me.

They grind pretty well. The option is really for those who love the play of the Cosmo, but absolutely can't live with out those grinds. Better for finger grinds rather than palm, but all around I think your gonna like it. Plus I believe that Landon does not polish the Cloud9s beforehand, so it has flatter rims and different shape.

I can't wait for the Cloud 9, I am such a grind fan.

My GF just bought me this Yo for Christmas. I can't wait to throw it!!!!!!!

It's strange how you praised the Cosmo for its long spin times, but criticized the Cloud 9 for its weak spin times, though they're both the same yoyo...

Lucky you! These are very cool looking yos. There was also a review of it on String Burn Live.
