The Shade came out in 2022 actually. Comparing it to Klondike and Kagerou, it feels significantly smaller but it isn’t actually. It feels much lighter and more nimble compared to Kagerou. I personally like the Kagerou the most out of the 3 ---

I am watching this yoyo from months, I can’t justify myself to spend that much so it will stay there but it is for me one of the coolest recent releases and probably a comp beast! ---

[Shade](https://shop.yoyoexpert.com/products/shade-yoyo-by-japan-technology?variant=42021698207934) is definitely a competition type of beast! - Even when I was playing with it, the spin power keeps pushing through even your most dense tricks! - The shape makes it easy to hit bigger type of moves as well!
