Hi there,
Has anyone tried or heard anything about the Bowl to be released on this coming Friday (31 August)?
I would be interested to know.
Thanks!
By what manufacturer?
I am not exactly sure buy this is their Instagram account:

Most of the âadvertisingâ has been through a yoyo BST Facebook page.
AFAIK, most of them were sold through pre-orders and theyâll pretty limited come Friday.
Hard to tell from the pic but the weight distribution doesnât look all that extreme. Which makes me want to ask- why Ti?
Most of the info has been posted on a private Facebook group.
And @Rosenberg the guy making them is a big collector so Iâm pretty sure he just wanted to make something unique. He used Ti because itâs a unique material with a unique feel, not necessarily for the performance advantage.
I think itâs super neat for what it is 
It wasnât made to be a competition throw, rather just a fun idea some friends toyed around with.
I hear ya, but the Aurora wasnât a competition throw either and it still flexed itâs muscles a little. Just seems like itâs in the âTi just cause TIâ territory. Like putting lowering springs on a Land Cruiser (Iâve seen it done, unfortunately). Speaking of, I really miss my AuroraâŚ
It started as a titanium Grail copy, then morphed slightly into itâs own thing, still heavy Grail inspiration. Very limited quantities. Started as just a group of people that were going to make a yoyo for themselves (a ti grail), then it morphed into something else, and I believe 8 extras (I think thatâs what I heard) will be sold this Friday.
Makes sense, I thought it looked familiar. Still odd to me tho
Is it basically a titanium Grail or 420? Because those are often called âbowlsâ, and 420 is a pretty clear reference to that etc
Grail, not a 420.
Apparently, TheBowl is its own company. one of those instagram posts linked to a standalone website
