I have had the C3YoyoDesign Gamma Crash for few weeks now and I really am very impressed by this Yoyo. Since the unboxing I given this Yoyo major play. And I am still impressed by it since day one. It is a plastic yo-yo in the middle with stainless steel rims that you usually find on bi-metal yoyos. But if you did not know it is plastic, you would think it is metal because it plays and feels like a metal yoyo.

As I mentioned in the first Throw Score review, this review is completely different from what you are used to seeing. The approach is from a yoyoer’s point of view. I came up with categories to rate a yoyo from what yoyo players are looking to get from a yoyo. The categories are described below. Each category has a score from 1 – 5. The higher the score the better except for Weight Feel, which the lower number represents a lighter feel and the higher number a heavier feel. As an enhancement to the scoring, category 5, Style of play is now scored. Details are below.

Here are the categories:

1. Smoothness – How smoothe the yoyo spins (Score 1-5).

2. Weight Feel – How heavy does the yoyo feel in your hand while at play (Score 1-5, light to heavy feel).

3. Grinding Ability – How well can the yoyo carries out yoyo grinding tricks. The score is composed of three subcategories, Finger Grinds, Talon Grinds and Finger spins. All of which have a score of 1-5 which are added for a combined score of 1-15.

4. Horrizontal Play – How well the yoyo carries out horrizontal tricks or combos (Score 1-5).

5. Style of Play – What kind of combos of tricks the yoyo is more likely suited. The score is composed of two subcategories, Speed and Techy. These two are now scored 1-5 which are added for a combined score of 1-10.

To summarize the scores, I took categories 1,3,4 and 5 and added the scores together and divided them by 5. This average number represents a score of the yoyo itself, which we will call the Throw Score.
