Axle is a B bearing (+ bearing lock). Gap width is about 2.4mm. In my own biased opinion… it plays okay I guess 😅 It was really designed as a rim weighted bearing yoyo, but I just wanted to implement the bearing lock idea to make it more versatile. ---

Feels perfect in hand and the responsiveness is spot on after string breaks in. Not only that it came with 2 extra wooden axle sleeves! Can’t believe I missed out on these in the 90s. Better stock up on a few personally cause I’ll definitely wear this one out! ---

Playing a late 2000’s made in Mexico Crimson Sparkle Butterfly ( aka "Sparkle-Fly) with Gold Foil weighting in at 46 grams. Today its laced with YYF 100% Cotton as I like the added response and feel with these strings. ![20220916_090522](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/e/4/b/e4bd0bc2677145950178596d686925460a31d3c0.jpeg) ---

It’s on the way, but slow boat. It’s lower MSRP so we are using the most economical freight. It should be this year! ---

Basically a much larger version of the retro gamer and wayyyyy better to throw due to heavier weight. ---
