I love this trainer. The Zenith blade was always one of the coolest looking 3rd party blades for the 51 imo, and I'm glad it makes a return in its own standalone trainer. Gone are the days of CCC's with the zenith blade. However, the only big problem that I have with this balisong is that it runs with T8 screws instead of the traditional T10. I attempted to loctite mine, but it turns out one of the pivots was slightly stripped out of the box. Lord knows that will be fun to deal with. It is insane how we live in a world where you can buy a 7075 alu balisong for $60. But like you mentioned, if they flattened the bottoms, and also make it run on T10 hardware, this would be a perfect entry bali for the majority.
@DJEyelessPyro whenever I said it took me 15 trys I did mean just that time. I've been practicing my giraffes for 5 weeks now. So far I've been flipping for 5 months and am probably high intermediate to possibly low low advanced
the bearings were on backwards on the fryti french fry balisong, it's actually p smooth now. sux about that zenith trainer though. you think channel inserts would help the rollovers on the zenith trainer? 🤔
oh shit really? I never took that thing apart, never knew that. I don't think they'd do a whole lot tbh, it's really the ends of the handles that need some love
@@DJEyelessPyro yeah it didn't make too much of a difference but it was a little bit better, it's more bouncy and louder. I'm assuming whoever flipped the bearings was attempting to slow down the handle momentum and make it a little more quiet since that's what changes when rightside up 🤔 but yeah hopefully flyti gets the v2 out, we need more sub 100 balisongs out there.
@@DJEyelessPyro I agree that's why I sold my armedshark kraken V3 which people say flips just like the authentic. Yes it could fan but it's not as effortless as my Nabalis canyon which I think is far more neutral than kraken V3.
@@DJEyelessPyro all I care is fans and rollovers tbh. And the kraken lacks fanning performance as you said. Do you think it rep fans okay at the least?

1000% agreed, i honestly didnt even notice it was on t8's, if i did i def wouldve brought that up
Did they not come loctited? I’ve never touched the pivots on mine and I’ve beat tf out of it, still zero tap on these John’s
My favorite blade shape but I hate the angled ends of the handles.
no I totally agree, genuine tragedy

It took me 15 trys to land my giraffe. Its acually crazy because my birthday is february 15. Guess thats my lucky number
it took me like 2 years to learn how to Chaplin, and I STILL can't do a normal choker fan 💀💀💀

@@SkullFlipper15 no I got you, I just mean my dumbass has so much trouble with like, intermediate tricks, for whatever reason
@DJEyelessPyro ok. I just wanted to make sure. And even if you do struggle with intermediate tricks you are easily in my top 5 favorite flippers man
@@SkullFlipper15 I appreciate it 🙏

Do you think Zippy end caps might help more cause of the tungsten weights?
I brought them up in the video 💀
Mine zero G’s just fine, I mean it’s not like goated or anything but I can do em pretty easily, for 60 bucks I’d rather have this over a vulp anyway 😂

Do you think baliplus rep is better than kraken? Thinking of getting one (og Brs rep rainer blade btw)
@@Ambatufakingnat depends on preferences, they're not very comparable
