So I got a new Auldey L3 made by Luo Yi Chen, AKa Takuto. The yoyo is manufactured by Chinese toy giant Auldey and includes items that would potentally break some IP here in the US, namely 'hubstacks' and the 'KonKave' bearing.
To start with, I love this yoyo. Out of the box, spending just a few minutes with it, it feels like nothing I have thrown before. When you throw it, there is no movement, vibration, or sound to let you know it is still going. The bearing is lubed, and the silicone pads are slightly pronounced which make it way to responsive for me, but later I will replace the pads with flowable and if that is not enough, I will clean out the bearing.
I will add more to this when I find out how much I like it.

After playing with it for a month or so now, I must say that it is one of the best yo-yos I have ever played with. It is ROCK SMOOTH. The KK bearing that came with it is better then the Diff-e-yo bearings that I have, but REALLY needed to be cleaned a bit. I did replace the rings with recessed silicone and greatly enjoy it. The sleep times are pretty good (about 75 seconds for me), and the binds are very clean and tight. The small size is nice for tricks like "Double or Nothing" where you need to hit one string out of 2 or 3.
As a good sign of how well it plays, I have a co-worker who bought one as his second yoyo.
