Here is @bodahrevy giving their 2 cents on the Tomo > [@What did you get in the mail, 2024?](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/what-did-you-get-in-the-mail-2024/391106/3898): > > So its a bit undersized, 53mmx45mmx64g. Its not too heavy but not too light either. All around its solid. doesnt have any outstanding characteristics its got like the perfect amount of everything it needs. Kinda hard to explain but its a really fun throw. It fits my hand so perfect. Its got enough power to handle all my tricks. It has tendency to tilt when it slows down. Pretty agile and quick and control is great. What I like about it is its not really like any other throw I’ve played with before. ---

+1 to the packaging, it’s fantastic. I also managed to snag one of the B-Grades and it plays awesomely. I can’t even tell. Legit though, this is probably one of the best grind finishes I’ve felt in a long time. I have somewhat rough hands and can easily palm grind a DNA on it. Really impressive overall! ---
