This is a bit of a weird question, but why is there a metal spot right in the center of the Equilateral? :wink:

It’s a homage to the mirror caps on a lot of Mickey’s old YYJ signature models.

I’ve played with the equilateral before, it’s a decent throw, but I was disappointed to find that the mirrors were cheap stickers that start to peel off after some time.
