    Ok... Where do I begin. I'll try to be as honest as possible.

    I got the package today and was insanely excited. After I opened it up, I started playing with it (obviously). This yoyo is REALLY smooth. It is really really smooth... I know it's basically the same (in terms of how the bearing is housed) as the barebones, but I swear thing is smoother than my barebones. It doesnt vibrate AT ALL. Some people said that their eetsit wobbled, but I seriously have no idea wtf these people are talking about. When you watch the yoyo spinning it looks exactly the same as if it wasn't spinning... With my barebones you can kind of notice the shape shifting slightly, but not with this. On top of that, this yoyo just plain looks like it was really well made. Also, I LOVE the shape of this yoyo. I like it more than the shape of my barebones and my SFHG (which are the only yoyos I own in addition to my Eetsit :)) and the smaller size of the yoyo kicks major arse. This yoyo also has a very, very solid feel to it.

    Ok, now for the bad part. I started throwing it a little bit, and then after a couple throws, the string got caught between the side of the yoyo and the bazpad. I opened it up and fixed it and after a couple more throws the same thing happened again. Then, the string started to turn red (i guess the dye in the bazpad rubbed off into the string) and after opening it up for the third time, I realized there were bits of red bazpad on the sides of the bearing. Enough was enough, so I change the Bazpads and put in some thin Difs. The adhesive on the Bazpad stuck to the surface of the yoyo like a mofo, so I had to scrub it off. Anyway, I put in two thin difs and was pretty content. But then, it got stuck between the bearing and the side of the yoyo again. I fixed it, and it hasn't happened again ever since thank god. Ok, for the next bad part. The coating of this yoyo feels like fine grit sand paper. No joke... After doing a couple thumb grinds, I could see powdered thumb nail on the inside of the rim. In addition, after doing a palm grind, It felt like my palm was going to literally catch on f*cking fire. I'm assuming the coating will wear down a lil bit after some use.

    In conclusion, it may seem that I don't like this yoyo or somthing because of my long rant, but it's the complete opposite. I'm just trying to be realistic here and give a good honest review (instead of just saying "OMGORZ THIS YOYO IS P3RFECT"). I really, really like this yoyo . It has definetly replaced my barebones as of now. The smoothness of this yoyo is awesome and I just simply love the size, shape, and just the overall feel of this yoyo. This yoyo was an awesome purchase and I'm really glad that I bought it.

    I'll try to upload some pics later,

    Oh yea, and I forgot to include the "form" factor of this yoyo. It looks awesome. Some may say it's white and a poo-brownish hue, but it's actually more of a bronze and silver. I don't see why people are going through the hassle of trading sides of the yoyo to get a solid color, as it looks great with the two tone. The hearts are a nice touch too.

    Crap, one more thing. Why in the hell did they pack an orange water balloon in the box with the Eetsit? Oh well.

    Preferences, preferences.
    I, personally, prefer symmetrical halves, even color-wise. That is why I switched halves.

    Ok, this pains me because I really, really like this yoyo. But the slippage still occurs even with the two thin difs. Damn, I can't even use it now because I almost hit myself in the mouth twice when I threw a hard sleeper and it got stuck between the wall of the yoyo and the bearing.
