I just had to give the heads up on this one…  
Frank, Dominik and I have been friends for years.  
Frank and I have exchanged ideas, and talk about yoyo design from time to time.  
One of our last conversations had been about mid weight, large catch zones,  
and achieving a perfect free style throw.  
The Nile is his take on it, and I just got mine yesterday.  
I have never done a review, so I wont try.  
All I am saying here is, this is not the typical ILYY feeling yoyo that I had thrown in the past.  
The first throw gave me that (holy $molly) feeling.  
Nimble, fast, and floaty, with an awesome smooth feeling at the end of the string.  
I stopped in my tracks and emailed them back with my comments.  
(YOU GUYS NAILED IT!)  
While I was doing so, I did this post to give you a HEADS UP.  
He did keep the round traditional center you found on the E1ns, Mary, etc.

Diameter: 56.00mm
