Ryan Gee gets silly again in this new video, showing off his startling and unconventional trick construction. Always a fun player to watch!
Yoyos used are the Werrd Eighty-Six 400 and Minute.
Werrd has finally dialed in their design and manufacturing to be able to participate competitively in the mid-range metal yoyo market, and the Eighty-Six 400 is a contest-killer of a yoyo. This full size yoyo features nothing new in the shape, but it’s a refined V-type model with excellent weight distribution and stability. The rounding of the outer rim gives this very utilitarian shape a surprising bit of comfort in the hand, and the width allows for easy gap-access during high-speed play while fitting perfectly in the palm between throws. The response is a bit unpredictable with Werrd’s stock blue 19mm pads (I had a profound fear of #yoyodamage on a few overly snappy binds), but that’s easily remedied by replacing them with the pads of your choice. This yoyo is a remarkable step forwards for Werrd, and while it’s not as creative as their past efforts it doesn’t need to be…it’s a perfect workhorse of a yoyo capable of handling any and all modern play.
The Eighty-Six 400 has very little in the “flash and bang” department. Packaged in the standard Werrd plastic box with just a string and no extras, it’s a no-frills experience. The raised step around their signature spike nub is a nice, subtle touch but it works against the engraving. The engraving itself is a nice bit of 3D art of clock or watch gears, but when used as a 2D engraving it becomes muddled and difficult to visually understand. The polished edge just before the rim is, however, a glorious touch that especially gives the darker hued versions of this yoyo a unique presentation.
With a retail price of only $65, Werrd has finally cracked the code of high performance at a lower price. While their Irony, TRE, and Sentinel are all $100 and up, they’ve managed to match that level of quality and play value with the Eighty-Six 400. For the serious player on a budget who is looking for a full-sized V-shape yoyo, look no further…Werrd has you covered with the Eighty-Six 400.

Jacob Jensen is one of the most creative yoyo players in the game today, and in his new video he drives that fact home with each and every trick. There are so many great concepts in this video…Jacob really established himself as one of the most creative players on 365yoyotricks.com this year, and this video is a perfect way to end a hell of a year.
Yoyos used are the Werrd Irony JP, Sentinel, Tre, Hour, Fruiture, Eighty-Six 400, and Minute. Anyone else notice that every single yoyo Werrd released this year was amazing? 2013 was a huge level-up for Werrd. Keep an eye on them in 2014, and pick up a Minute and Eighty-Six 400 the first chance you get.
