YoYo Spotlight – One Drop Format C

By

FormatC_ThreeQuarter

One Drop Format:C Specs:

Diameter: 56.75 mm
Width: 42.18 mm
Gap Width: 4.35 mm
Weight:  65.1 grams
Bearing: One Drop 10 Ball Bearing (.250 x .500 x .187)
Response: One Drop Flow Groove

PLAY

The Format:C by One Drop was designed to be a competition killer of a yoyo, and it lives up to that ideal. This full-sized throw is remarkably stable, and fully capable of performing at the top level of modern yoyo competition. It holds spin through any and all styles of play or tricks, and the combination of tremendous rim weight and One Drop’s 10 Ball bearing makes the Format:C feel almost unstoppable at times.

Weighing in at only 65 grams, the Format:C moves fast through any style of tricks and spins perfectly true out of the box, as you would expect of One Drop’s premium offerings. One Drop’s reliable 10-ball bearings spin smooth and nearly silent, and only get better as you break them in. Their Flow Groove response is some of the longest-lasting response on the market, and once broken-in it holds that “sweet spot” for a long time.

LOOKS

The One Drop Format:C features concentric machined silver rings on the outer rim and inner rim wall, giving it an incredibly stylish and unique profile. It’s easy to fall in love with the simplicity of this yoyo…at first glance you see great solid colors and immediately identifiable machined rings, and the effect is quite fetching. The lack of overwhelming splash anodization is a welcome change of pace…while we love fancy finishes, the Format:C is a workhorse and gets right to the point!

VALUE

The Format:C retails for $120, and is a fantastic investment for a serious competition player. Made of incredibly durable 7075 aluminum, if cared for properly the Format:C should have no problems leading you up through multiple years of contest play.

Comments

  1. I deserve this yoyo because I am not here to play the game…I am here to change it.

  2. I deserve to win this yoyo because this year is 15 anniversary of my first “format c:” typing on keyboard

  3. I deserve to win this yoyo because i started a yoyo club at my school, and were about the third biggest club at the school and i do a lot for the yoyo community although i just started a little less than a year ago, also i just turned 21 on may 12th, whoop whoop!!!

  4. I need this because I want something to throw at contests, I’ve never even touched a One Drop, and I can’t afford it. I want to try a high-end metal yoyo, but i can’t.

  5. My 8 year old thinks it looks awesome but it would take a lot of chores to buy it… He just performed at his school talent show and blew everyone away with how amazing he was. He’s only been yoyoing for about 3 and 1/2 months and is incredibly gifted(and I say that not as his dad but as a fan).

  9. I want it because I want to try One Drop. Plus I need a comp yo-yo anyway…… Good luck to all y’all!

  11. I would really like to win this so that I can show the locals here the awesomeness of OD yoyos. (They’re not getting enough love here) I was planning to buy one and make it my main competition yoyo but I can’t save enough cash to get myself even just one. Now this contest will make it come true if I win.

  12. Why i deserve to win this yoyo is because i got school to finish, if i did not win, i could not finish my school. which is bad.

  15. I should win this yoyo because i simply love to play yoyo. It is relaxing. However, when my yoyo is constantly dying in the middle of tricks, it makes me not relaxed. I would love to relax.

  16. I deserve to win this yoyo because I want to kill competition with this yoyo 😉

  18. I would like to win it because i NEED a yo-yo for 5A may and I really just need a new yo-yo my old one broke.

  19. I’ve been yoyoing on & off for a while but only really got into this year. I have one yoyo which is my benchmark V and I would really like to get better and into the yoyo community!

  22. I’ve played the yoyo ever and I think it has a cool flow, it plays very fast but stable and it looks naturally very cool and when I win this yoyo I go with it to events and inspire old and young peoples.

  23. Playing yoyo changed my life. After 4 knee surgeries and losing my scholarship at the U of Utah that took me out of sports I was dejected. I was lost. After seeing a yoyo video my whole life changed. I’d love to have this yoyo to continue to grow with my passion.

  25. because I’ll throw it like theres no tomorrow 🙂 I’ll ding this beauty with a smile…

  26. I work in I.T so everyday I can play with the formatC while I Format C:

  27. I would like to win this yoyo because it would make me feel like Paul Dang in a promo for a while. Dreamy.

  29. I would like to have this yoyo because i have always wanted an onedrop yoyo, but i just never got one. And from the shape and diameter, the Format:C would make my home more beautiful. So i would be grateful to get it . 🙂

  31. I envision the sound of a spinning 7075 yoyo emanating from the pearly gates as they open. The melodic zing that encompasses every throw is something special.

  32. I don’t have any one drop throw, so it would be very nice to win this (as I can’t buy one in Italy without spend a lot in shipping and customs)… let me win it! 😀

  33. I need this yoyo to get better at yoing and the yyo need a good home at my place.

  34. I should have this yoyo because it would be the highpoint in a terrable week.

  35. For a someone like me on a very low budget, I love it when pro’s like yourselves review yoyos. Your reviews allow me to find the best yoyo for the money. I currently own two yoyos the YYF Shutter and DV888. The DV888 I bought without looking at any reviews and it is awful. The Shutter is awesome and I owe it to the pros who took the time to make these reviews. This is more yoyo than I could ever afford for a while, but I hope I win it. Great review.

  38. I diserve this yoyo because I’m getting married soon and won’t have money to afford anymore yoyos for a very Very Long time.

  39. Plus, It will be my 2nd metal yoyo (after a dv888) and my 1st one drop, also I only have a go big, shaqlerstAr, classic, and a pair of magic yoyo d5s for 3a so pls kthxbai.

  42. Give me this yoyo if you want to live. If you don’t then miley cyrus will run for the presidency and win becoming the first person to dry hump a foam finger in the white house.

  43. i would really appreciate it i was to win this amazing looking throw!!! ONE because i do nat have the money becuase of my parents divorce and would play the hell out of this format !!

  45. I would like to win this yoyo because I only have 5 yoyos, so it would be a great addition to my collection. 🙂

    I would also use it to its fullest extent, and it would really help me progress in my yoyo journey. 😀

  46. The Forest green color is insanely deep and rich. This yoyo is full sized and lightweight, which really suit my preferences. The V x H shape is the most comfortable shape hands down, which makes me want to try this out, especially due to it be 7075 which is my favorite material. I’ve been wanting this yoyo since I saw it come out, and this appears to be the OD Sleipnir. I would love to own this beauty!

  48. I think I deserve to win this because I am an advanced player -nearing expert- with pretty good talent, a burning will to compete, and -sadly- a small collection. Only 3 from one drop -lower priced ones too. I don’t really have any quality pieces ($95+) in my collection other than a used YYJ Diamondback (one of my faves). I have been looking at the Format C and the Valor a lot to get for my first “serious/competition” throw.

    If I got this, I would go through the roof with excitement, and this would definitely be the throw I would use at my first competition.

    Good review and a great site.

  49. I think I deserve this yoyo because I am starting out at competition. As an up-and-coming player, it is good to have the best technology out there; it boosts my confidence and makes it easier to make tricks because it is harder to make the yoyo stop sleeping. I also have a very small One Drop collection; I only have a Rally and the Summit. If I win this yoyo, then you will have opened up a window to One Drop yo-yos for me and I may become a loyal customer to them. Thanks for holding this give-away.

  50. I deserve to have this yoyo because of my beast skills. And the fact it’ll be a nice addition to my growing OD collection.

  51. I think that throw should be mine since my last name begins with a C. Format C = Format Cadiz.

  54. It was a great review. I hope I win because it would be a wonderful addition to my One Drop collection, and it sounds like an amazing throw.

  56. The Format C looks like an amazing throw and I would love to have one in my possession.

  57. Me since its my birthday on May 16 and I just hit 1 year of yoyoing 😀 I play 1A, 3A, 4A, and 5A but I’ll probably use it for 1A and maybe 5A when I become better 😀

  59. Hmm, well i already have a single sight line, i want this one to go with it!

  60. I just want this yoyo so I can try it since I probably won’t ever buy this yoyo since I don’t have the money. This yoyo also seems like a great yoyo to try out.

  61. a good 7075 yoyo needs to push the limits of 7075. aluminum 7075 has more than 2 twice as much yield strength than aluminum 6061, meaning you can make wall thinner. with thinner walls you can get the same moment of inertia of a 6061 yoyo but alot lighter. I would of liked to see the format C be a little lighter than 65 grams. I have never thrown the format C and I would love to get the opportunity to throw it to see if it is a good 7075 yoyo.

  62. I think I should get this yoyo so I can compete more seriously. I think it’s yet stable qualities would fit me well. 🙂

  63. Easy answer. The Format C looks like a throw made for the Gods. Oh man, would I love to use the Format C!

  65. Hmmm… Well, I have been in the market for a new competition based yoyo. And a Format: C has contest right in the name. I’ve had the pleasure of playing it at a local yoyo store, but I have been short on money. I only get 4 dollars a month. 😉 And that double slight line is gosh darn beautiful. I really need one for NER and the Format: C is perfect for my style, fast, but nice and stable. I came in 3rd in the YYE Throwdown! I’ll promise I’ll do good. 🙂 .Well, that was a pretty long line of text.

    Merry Christmas Everybody!

  67. Beautiful yoyo! I deserve to win it because I’ll play it and give it a great home. 😉
