Japan National 3A Champion Sora Tahira plays fast, dynamic, and captivating, the kind of play that pulls a crowd in and doesn’t let go. The Glanz is the W1LD signature bimetal built to keep up with every second of it.
The construction pairs stainless steel inner rims that protrude outward from the body with outer rims working in tandem, a dual-rim layout where each element earns its place. The inner rims drive maneuverability and control, keeping the yo-yo precise and responsive through Sora’s high-speed sequences. The outer rims handle the spin power and stability needed to sustain those sequences from start to finish. At 67 grams the spec looks substantial on paper, but the moment you throw it that number simply disappears. The Glanz moves with a natural ease that makes the weight feel like an asset rather than a burden, and the feedback traveling back through the string is honest and clear, keeping you in touch with every movement without any unnecessary strain.
What makes the Glanz genuinely surprising is how far beyond 3A it reaches. Built around Sora’s precise, demanding play style, it carries that same control and responsiveness into 5A and 1A without missing a beat, making it one of the more versatile bimetals in W1LD’s lineup. Whether you’re running dual throws or flying solo, the Glanz has the range to back you up!
