YoYoFactory - DV888 (Bind) B Grade
A play on the DV8, a full metal yo-yo with some serious potential! The flat-rimmed DV888 sets the bar high as YYF's first release for their Fundametal series.
YoYoFactory's Fundametal series, the straightforward full metal yo-yo series without any frills or gimmicks, makes its debut with the DV888. The lack of excess leads to a reasonable price. The DV888 is a bit of a play on the original Buzz-On DV8, which came loaded with a stainless steel rim; you could say it's a full-metal version of the DV8. There's no axle protrusion, reducing weight in the center. Coupled with the flat rim design, the DV888 displays unbelievable spinning power for a yo-yo in this price range.
YoYoFactory has made a bit impact with their first low-price full metal yo-yo, we've come to expect good things from the Fundametal lines, thanks to the DV888.
"What is B-Grade?"
In 2009, YoYoFactory started selling a selection of "outlet" items at events. Calling them "B-Grades," that name has spread throughout the yo-yo world, and is now a common term.
At B-Grade sales, you can pick up excellent yo-yos with mild imperfections, discolorations, marks or scratches. These make them less desirable as finished products, but they're still great yo-yos and totally playable, meaning you can get a high quality throw for a bargain price. As a result, B-Grade sales have become very popular.
"What kinds of B-Grades are there?"
The majority of B-Grades have small discolorations or cosmetic blemishes from the anodization process. These are known as "C-Types," whereas yo-yos that are not perfectly balanced and have some vibes are called "V-Types." Some may have both types of imperfection; it's always good to double check
Important Points:
B-Grades are outlet products because for one reason or another they haven't met the maker's standards for their products, things to look out for include:
-color imperfections, finish may look dull or scratched
-bearing or response pads aren't well installed or working properly. Often, switching out these parts will address these issues.
-Bearings or pads may differ from the standard product model.
-Artwork or logos may differ from the standard model.
-Other issues may exist, but nothing so bad as to make the yo-yo unplayable.
