This is a great @Augie quote and thank you for sharing. Sometimes its better to go with the heart, as its easy to overthink simplicity.

Have to agree, the added response and control makes up for it.

Still playing with the “Training Wheels” off, but I wouldn’t say I’m a [Penny Farthing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penny-farthing) racer quite yet, even though I was able to pick up a couple trick clips. I also now understand the SF era bias for No Jives, today I’m throwing an SF era [Filigree Mandala](http://www.yoyomuseum.com/museum_view.php?action=view&subaction=exhibit&exhibitid=1371) No Jive with some tarnished axle hubs. This one weights in at 50 grams, so 2 grams lighter than the BC era, and it also feels a little slimmer in the hand. This is a beautiful yoyo and it definitely has that Tom Kuhn “IT” factor.
