> [@W1ld CONTRA by Connor Seals](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/w1ld-contra-by-connor-seals/435141): > > Accidentally found this on a Chinese e-commerce site, based on the Chinese text it says 7075 monometal CONTRA. I didn’t see this on their social media posts but I think the Chinese players got their hands on these in advance. Since there was an upcoming monometal version of the contrast soon called the w1ld CONTRA, is the design inspired by your old yoyo the ZEPHYR from throw revolution? ---

Also a follow up question, when is Neo Nylon String gonna release? It’s been like 5 yrs since kitty string last announced it and I believed you’ve tested it out already (I assume it was on the left corner around 0:16 in the video due to different color hue) [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/3/5/0/350a23b449a7d987b1dce8f11132a6df50b7096b.jpeg "New Kitty String First Impressions - Better Than Original?") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQC4cYJrCnA) ---
