Not sure i really get the Token. I mean i’ll probably grab one of those purple-center ones just because it looks cool, but the size is kind of weird. It’s not really small enough to be a true pocket throw like an Angle XS, Tarasqus, Littles, etc., and not really big enough to be a strong performer, so it fills an awkward role. That said the price is right, but i worry a lot of people grab it as their first metal because the ano’s pretty and the price is low, but then end up being disappointed when it doesn’t play as they expected. As long as people know what they’re getting into though i think it’s a neat throw.
I tend to agree that it’s in a weird spot. I got it as a “pocket throw” not really understanding that it wouldn’t fill that role. I’m still happy to have it and it’s a nifty yoyo, but it is indeed strangely specced.
I also wouldn’t want beginners to get it as their first metal. People here are generally pretty good about giving the heads-up, but enough people have had skewed expectations that they must be getting their (mis)information from SOMEWHERE, y’know?
