Got the proto in Japan and found it a bit clunky. Looks cool but I missed the performance and stability I expected from the shape.

I see it as more like the fourth in the Avant Garde line that’s been around for ~14 years and has been super influential.

Yo-yo factory creates the trends.

They have been making undercut H shapes long before motion yo-yo, and will probably be making them long after as well.
