Ok so I picked one of these up today from YYE and I am more than happy with this throw. It is as smooth as my 54 and Hatrick (my two smoothest throws) and as stable as my Sasquatch. At 65.3 grams it is nice and light and very fast on the string. It is my third ILYY after my 09 Mary and 10 E1NS and by far my top pick of the three. The candodize finish is great for grinds. There is not much of a IRG but there is one there for you thumb grinders out there. The purple on this yoyo is just stunning. I know this is not a very detailed review but I just wanted to let you all my initial thoughts on this throw.

Reminds me of a PunchLine with a more dramatic step before the rim.
