Crazy shape, better anno. FULL RAIJIN REVEAL. Sengoku: News Thread

FULL REVEAL:

Presenting the Raijin!

Undercut catch zone with a flared profile and plenty of rim weight for power and stability.

This yo-yo, while fresh and capable in 1a, was designed to be a joy to throw in the 5a style.

We decided to go for 7075 aluminum on this one.

Full specs:

Diameter: 55.78 mm
Width: 54.00 mm
Weight: 65.64 g

Matte finish, premium Ringu bearing as standard

The fire colorway is part of a new “premium anodizing” line of colors we’ll be throwing on for some models

Releasing in September

As the team members are receiving their Raijins, but before Yoyoexpert gets their stock, here are some updates and testimonials!

“When I first started playing with Raijin I noticed right away it felt very light for the size and weight. It also feels incredibly comfortable in my hand. I think the slight taper in the catch zone gives it almost a naturally comfortable grip. Also, the large inner cup makes it great for finger spins.” -Tim

“For me, the Raijin is all about being unique. In a space where every yoyo performs really well, what makes a yoyo worth something? Hardly anything is surprising in the yoyo world anymore, so what excited me about Raijin was that it stands out as different and yet is also beautiful, functional, and high performing! It feels great in the hand, the finish is smooth and comfy, but the play is crazy! And the fire colorway is just mesmerizing when spinning or static. I haven’t been able to put it down since I got it.” -Phil Quagliariello

“Raygen is light on the string, fast and wide.” -Mohammed Hany

It’s safe to say the team is loving it so far, and we’re excited to get more feedback as all are delivered to their homes.!
