At least it’s transparent what’s going on and why

Between the Euro conversion and glorious tariffs, this might be my most expensive yoyo, but it’s whatever. Gotta support the good people!

They’re all gone and processed.

I’ll bring the remaining 2 to German Masters this weekend, the last chance to snag one. :smiley:

Thanks again to everyone. The positive feedback here and by email was overwhelming. There is no us without you. :heart:

I have had a chance to throw my Katharsis around a bit and I have to say it is one amazing yoyo.

To me the weight feels perfect, not heavy, not crazy light. It does have similar characteristics like the Peregrine, something that helps you land that one thing you have been struggling with. It keeps spinning for a really long time and returns well at low rpms. The ANO splash or whatever the proper term is for the color- makes it almost deceiving how fast or really how slow it spinning at the end of a combo or of me trying over and over a few times to land something.
I seem to be able to throw organics smoother and struggle with a smooth or level throw with the more V styles, but this one is only wobbly on a throw for me on a very small percentage.

It is interesting how stable or flat it stays being as wide as it is. I tend to get any yoyo to tilt since I still land or run my NTH and the string out of line with my throw. I can see it more and more now as the cause, but this one seems to not care about that in the least.

I’ll admit I’ve been a huge fanboy of the smaller manufacturers and smaller runs from my early days and have built up a bit of a collection. This ILYY fits well with my other ILYY’s I’ve snagged over the years.

Some yoyo’s require you to be precise, others seem like they help you land that trick your trying to learn, This one, after you throw it a bit, seems to almost do it for you.

Well done- Thanks guys.

Well, Steve, I’ll tell you one thing for many many decades. I’ve always been skeptical about Mindreaders. I mean, you hear the stories he listening various degrees of credibility. But after each story, you’ll probably experience various degrees of whether you believe it or not?

Sometimes you could say wow that guy is a mind reader! Other times you could say those people must’ve escaped from the circus and they can’t read squat..

So for the most part, I’m still kind of on the fence about whether I believe that stuff or not?

But in this particular instance, after reading your post, I will definitely identify this as a mind reading phenomenon.

As I read your review of the Katharsis, my view aligned with exactly every statement you made.

I read your review as if I already had it memorized… Quite interesting.

Regardless, a very accurate review of an Outstanding offering by Dom and Ray…

One more for 2025. A year after the Alpha comes the Omega.

Identical specs to the Alpha (rings, weight, dimensions), just an organic shape.

And before you ask, the answer is yes. :smiley:

More info in a few days. Release Nov/Dec.
