Me 3. It’s real purty though and I like that shape. ---

I can assure you guys that it feels super light in your hand. Honestly, when I first took it out of the box, I was like “errrr…thats 67 grams?” …then I threw it and it had massive spin. Kinda like a Draupnir, if you will. It feels super light also and spins forever. ---

It has the shape of an ILYY Torino… And the cup of an iYoYo 2 I think… I NEED IT, NOW ---

I’m still trying to figure out what this “gold” is. Surely it can’t be 24k gold? And I know for a fact that anodized gold titanium doesn’t look anything like that. Looks good! Can’t wait to try it at worlds. ---

That can only be gold plating. Absolutely beautiful-looking! And in its own way will continue to look beautiful once the gold starts wearing out. :wink: ---

Don’t judge a yo-yo solely on weight, a 67g organic throw with a relatively even weight distribution feels lighter than a 65g heavy rim weighted h or v-shape. I’m excited to try this one! ---

It does indeed feel lighter than 67g. The shape (profile) is based on the ILYY Torino. The step in the gap comes from an iYoYo Steel. Here’s a picture of a specimen. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/f/6/9/f693b006930e1427f25db0ed9b950a6ba4d00314.jpeg) [Previous page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/germany-joins-the-ti-game/75682.md?page=1)
