Re: CODE2 Prototype Process (see inside for details) I did the same thing. No biggie.
Anyway I'm glad I tried it for 5a because that is where it really impressed me.
What did u think for 5a?

Re: CODE2 Prototype Process (see inside for details) Absolutely amazing!
When I first tried it out for 1a, just as some people have mentioned, nothing too spectacular jumped out to me in terms of performance. (It's still a great throw for 1a though) But in 5a, I just love it! The weight distribution is great for 5a. I'm surprised that it can handle horizontal 5a tricks. Also surprising that it was doing the right amount of turns for freegens (or did I just get better at it?..nah) It was pretty stable and tilt correction was easy without sacrificing much spin time.
I'm guessing the weight is a huge factor in why I think it's great for 5a, at least for my style of 5a (i.e. non-crazy slow laidback 5a). The weight allows me to "feel" where the yoyo is. I dunno, it's hard to explain...
This reminds me, whereabouts should we post our "full review" of the CODE2? This thread? a different thread? a new thread? PM? Handwritten letter?

Re: CODE2 Prototype Process (see inside for details) Here's a good spot to post your thoughts: http://www.onedropyoyos.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=7939Also, would you be cool sending it to blue_lagoon next? I was hoping one of you guys might be able to take it to a DXL meetup.

Re: CODE2 Prototype Process (see inside for details) Yeah, I should be at the meet tomorrow and I'll hand it to him. Or better yet, I'll do a 5a aerial from a 10 story building down to him! That would be an epic way of passing the CODE2 forward!
