The Vulture was my first bimetal and first competition focused yoyo. I couldn't appreciate at the time how good it really is, but after several months improving my game with other yoyos, it's become clear that the Vulture is truly great.

The interesting thing about the Vulture is it's powerful and fast, yet still floaty. It's wide, but still maneuverable for tight tricks. It has a domed hub, but is still very good for finger spins. It's a model of functional contradiction. For some reason I don't use this yoyo very often, maybe it's not chill enough or something, who knows. Every time I do, however, I just bang out my small repertoire of tricks like nothing. Also I kinda lucked out getting the brown one since it and the lazuli versions have bead blasted rims, which are phenomenal for thumb and talon grinds.

Do yourself a favor: stop reading reviews and just get this yoyo.

I've been throwing the Vulture since the 1st release last year, so this is kind of overdue. I'm a huge bimetal guy, and 90% of my collection is made up of bimetals. The Peregrine and Mjolnir were tied for 1st until the vulture came along, and now they're tied for 2nd! The vulture is the embodiment of a perfect balance between power, speed, stability, maneuverability, control, and catchability. If you are able to snag one on this 2nd run just go for it! It's not by far all about the yoyo, but this throw literally makes learning new tricks easier!

This is my first yoyo by Yoyofriends and I must say I am impressed. At first, it may not have that "bimetal feel", maybe because the steel rings are placed inside the cups and not over them. But when you star playing with it, you feel the power and stability. I also love the sort of metallic sound it makes as it moves through the air. The designs seems to be well thought out and I'd say the name suits the yoyo very well.
So, bottom line, I'm very impressed by this yoyo as a 1st purchase from the Yoyofriends brand.

In my opinion this is the best yoyofriends yoyo to date, it is insanely stable and has power to spare but it doesn't feel heavy at all, its very confortable on the hand and it binds great. Denifitely is on my top 2 yoyos ever, he is just tied with the outlier 2.
If you like power , stability and a high feel of control go buy this yoyo before it become sold out
