Buzz-On Element X Remix

I decided to write yo-yo tests in the blog, so let's see what I got at home.

I bought this Element X in April, and due to my love of small bearings I chose the Remix series - there's the Element X Small with a small SPR (Aqua sized bearing), the Remix with a Duncan sized (5x10x4) and the Playa with a YoyoJAM sized (6x13x5) bearing.

The Element X comes without packaging, I got it only in a nylon bag with a short description and a Friction Sticker. It comes with an ABEC 7 bearing and I immediately cleaned it because it was soooooo responsive. At the first throw I noticed that the yo-yo is really heavy - oops, it's about 74 gramms due to the alumninum energy rings sticked into each sides of the yo-yo. The body of the Element X is made of ABS plastic.

The yo-yo uses a special response system, the Buzz-On SPR. It's a small recessed alumninum ring, and you just use it with pads and the bearing. It's a really good idea, because if you have a large SPR and a medium SPR, you can swap them in your yo-yos.

First I tried the yo-yo with a Friction Sticker. It wasn't responsive, but got worn really soon, so I bought some Duncan Silicone Stickers, and tried it with one. That was a great choice, now the Element X plays well!

The yoyo has the same shape as the Duncan Freehand 1 and Freehand Zero, but plays really different, and you can feel the difference between materials of both yo-yos.

As you may know, Buzz-On Industries stopped producing yo-yos some years ago. These yoyos aren't around anymore, so you must check the forums or ask collectors about these yoyos. I feel sorry for this because Buzz-On made awesome plastic yo-yos.

Back again

So I arrived back home, and now everything's in order. Mallorca was great - so different from Hungary. The weather was hot, I woke up in the morning and it was about 28°C then! I got a bit brown, so it's easier to watch the string during yo-yoing...

I practiced a lot there, created some new ideas of yoyoing. So now I will focus on new tricks and hope I will be able to share something here, too.

One-week break

Sorry everyone, as soon as I started this blog, I had to say I will have a break for a week. Tonight I will travel to Mallorca, Spain for having a little holiday there. My pack is ready, so I hope I won't miss anything...

See you again next week - I promise I will spend more time with blogging.

New video

So finally I've finished editing my new video with the Saga V. My converter is not the best, and YouTube also ruins the quality - but it's still viewable.



The recordings were taken at my home. My bro, Szabolcs helped me a lot with the UV part.
