approx specs from my unit: ~56.6mm diameter ~45.5mm width full weight 64.90g assembled 29.66g per half (without side effects) shape compared to leaf (leaf on left, summit 2 on right) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/e/b/6/eb6fa68ac0f2bca5876dfae4be645217f1b3de14.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/2/d/a/2da9c7913f03c8c66e0ad47da5507f7c9d87431d.jpeg) ---

I’m glad they kept it narrower than the Leaf. Is the wall about the same as the Freesolo? Looks like they kept that area Summit-like. ---

I don’t own a freesolo but from photos it looks similar. You can tell we brought that little bubble lip where the wall meets the catch zone down slightly from the Leaf design. Similar to the OG Summit but the hard angles are more organic. It rejects off the string beautifully. Here’s a reference of all 4: Summit, Summit 2, Chief, Leaf ![IMG_2510](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/8/d/b/8db6eb0c6682a87a741087c6eedebd3a66725432.jpeg) Width feels right in the middle of OG Summit and Chief. Diameter near identical to Chief. ---

Freesolo is basically a lower wall Summit profile without the cuts from Avalanche at the rims, the wall looks very similar here. Also that’s great colour way on your Leaf, was that also a PNWR pickup? Reminds me of the Aviator. ---

That’s actually the Caribou team colorway for the Leaf. One of my favorites of all time for sure 🤎 ---

A little thinner than I was expecting, a bit bummed for that. But you can definitely see the inspiration from both brands here. Can’t believe it’s happening again! ---

I told them we needed to make it 60mm wide so the jawn kids would like it but got shot down. Same with a 9 dragons version 🤷 ---
