Extraordinarily heavy. I do a bowling ball throw for the boomerang but I honestly think it’ll just be for doing regen string tricks. I can do drum beats for over two minutes no problem. I can keep the spin up but usually I drop it like a ding-a-ling. ---

2 plus minutes do drum beats is huge, I can’t do 2 minutes of anything, please send the regen genie to NC, you obviously don’t need him anymore. ---

It’s a fairly heavy top, not as beefy as the S8 Sara which comes with a thin piece of rope, but it’s way bigger than average. ![9c4df2782cbceba933413b72f31d6f70b9c44f19](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/9/c/4/9c4df2782cbceba933413b72f31d6f70b9c44f19.jpeg) ---

I love this top! The weight and large catch zone have allowed me to figure out a whole lot about regenerations. It seems like it would be harder to keep a heavy top going, but it works out that the extra weight just makes it more stable and also more forgiving. I saw one at Worlds and I thought it would be too heavy, I actually picked one up because you said you were doing so well with the regens, so glad I got one. ![1000002383](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/e/9/f/e9f4674fb570ae3beb692b07a14a280833b30daa.jpeg) ---
