Also considering that the Advance Scout has been Zach’s favorite for the last little while, and the AC2 is his current signature, seems like two very influential yoyos in Zach’s preferences for a new one, no? Not that that sounds like a bad thing, that honestly sounds like the most amazing thing ever! ---

I’ve saw some of the raw halves at One Drop recently, shape looks nothing like AC2 or Advanced Scout IMO ---

Maybe it’s just the angle of the pictures I’ve seen, but that’s honestly what I’m hoping it will play like! I’m sure it will be fantastic no matter what, but the Advance Scout is still top of my list ---

“What the?! You a-hole!” Was the first thing that came out of my mouth. Kinda came out involuntarily. So… How does it play!!! By feel along, what are the exact specs? :🙂 ---

> [@Heero](#): > > “What the?! You a-hole!” Was the first thing that came out of my mouth. Kinda came out unvolentarily. > > So… How does it play!!! By feel along, what are the exact specs? :🙂 LOL! It has a totally different feel from other throws in CLYW’s line. It has play characteristics similar to that of the AC2, Scout, Puffin 2, and the Orca; when compared with other CLYW’s. It is fast, agile, very maneuverable, stable, and long-spinning. I had a good 35-45 mins of play time with the Borealis, taking it through my combo’s. I have to say that it is a completely different beast. I was surprised at how maneuverable and quick it was. It had maneuverability of a smaller yoyo, the stableness of a heavier yoyo, and the raw spinning power of a bi-metal. To me it felt solid, but quick at the same time; it can really handle a wide variety of tricks. It was really amazing. As far as specs, I forgot to ask Zach; but from my experience it felt that I was playing this: Diameter: 56mm Width: 43-45mm Gap width: 4.3-4.5mm Weight: 64-65g Bearing: Center track or Koncave As a result, this yoyo has my interest and money peaked. I definitely look forward to this throw. ---
