When designing this yoyo, Palli was looking to create a yoyo that fit his competition style, so it’s not fair to say it wouldn’t be good on stage because it was literally built for competition.
I also found that it grinds excellently. And though the spin times aren’t stellar, they’re much better than “crappy”.
All that being said, I didn’t feel it was worth $150. I was able to pick up an A-grade for $100 which was much more palatable.
And “super long combos” is pretty subjective. What constitutes a combo being ‘super long’?
