Whats also wild is he can say his work won a Grammy. He did a couple pieces for the boxed set of John Lennonā€™s mind games, which won best boxed set this past year. Not many yoyo players can say their art won a grammy. ---

Iā€™ve got some time in on my Plasm today and reallyā€¦I donā€™t know why I didnā€™t get one of these types of throws beforeā€¦I had the opportunity for a short bit to buy a YYE RBC but sat on it debating. Really happy so far with my Plasm - itā€™s a very comfy throw and very snappy. I can see why they got cleared out very fast last week when they dropped. ---

All of the green glass Plasms are sold out but Iā€™ve not seen anyone talking about them. I was hoping to get one but I could only do 1 b-grade and I opted for dark. Since they had a different finish I was wondering what people thought of them. ---

I mean its absolutely gorgeous in person. I dont have any of the others to compare it to (though my black b-grade should be in today or tomorrow) so all my feedback is probably the same as feedback on the plasm in general ---

I think itā€™s mostly just the smooth finish thatā€™s different. I was just wondering if itā€™s sticky I guess. ---

Yeah, i mean like i canā€™t compare the finish to the others. I havent had any issues with tape measures being sticky, and it doesnā€™t feel sticky to the touch. The only stickiness ive had was with wet hands, which is pretty normal ---

Is the shape of the Plasm slightly different, or is it just a trick of the eye because itā€™s translucent? ---

My wife is very sensory sensitive to bearings, while Iā€™m the exact opposite. I ā€œcraveā€ the sound of a dry bearing, and love the sound of my Ti and SS throws. Now a hard ding, on the other hand, sets me RIGHT offā€¦ For my 15-year-old, itā€™s more the feel of many aluminum yo-yos. Thereā€™s a ton of finishes that just make his skin crawl to touch. ---

The catch zone is more open and the shape is a tad different. I feel like every change was very positive. The size/weight increase is perfectly symmetrical and I just canā€™t put into words how stunned I am with this thing. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/c/f/a/cfa1bafa2af3b29f718909391bafd40c47986218.jpeg) ---
