Has anyone seen this yet? The design of this yoyo is sooo sick! I love the original krown, and if this is like an upgrade; then this yoyo will definitely play well. ``` https://instagram.com/p/5WcDj4IIPR/?taken-by=c3yoyodesign ``` In the words of C3yoyodesign: Weight: 64.7g Width: 44.6mm Diameter: 54.9mm Gap width: 4.356mm Bearing Size (Inside x Outside x Width): .250 x .500 x .187 in (Genuine Dif-e-Yo KonKave bearing installed) Gap Type: Fixed Response: C3 Purple soft pad Stock String: Kitty String Fat White ---

It looks extra-legit. But I’m SUCH a fan of the original, I just don’t know how it could be improved upon! Only one way to find out… ---

This IS very legit. More info: [C3yoyodesign on Instagram: "C3yoyodesign Brand New Ultimate Weapson Shinya Kido Signature: KROWN.st! The REAL, FULL SPECTRUM EVOLUTION! In 2013, we released KROWN as signature design of Team C3 Japan member and World Champion, Shinya Kido. It became one of the most satisfied design among players. No doubt, KROWN has became a Legendary weapon choice for Pro-Players. In 2015, it's time to have Shinya and C3 designers work together again to push the Legendary design a big step forward! It's a very difficult task for every designer to improve a good design to a perfect design. But as always, C3 loves to take challenge. Since early 2015, we re-design and prototyping for number of times,sending prototypes from Hong Kong to Japan and even take flight to meet directly with Shinya. FINALLY, MISSION ACCOMPLISHED. Shinya Kido 's BRAND NEW SIGNATURE Design 2015 - KRONW.st Changing from 7075 body to Bi-metal design, we can archieve the light weight but longer sleeping time and more powerful spinning which provide a better control from front style to horizontal tricks. According to the specification, we have changed the width/diameter ratio to archieve the flexibility of movement and effective trapeze area. This changes provide larger room of errors for slack and regeneration tricks. Last but not least, to fit with Shinya favourite setting - Kitty String Fat White, C3 Purple soft pad and Dif-e-yo Concave bearing, we have increased the gap width and decreased the separater height to give a smoother "On-string" movement. To make KROWN.st as 100% Shinya Kido Signature, KROWN.st will come with Shinya Kido setting: Kitty String Fat White, C3 Purple soft pad and Dif-e-yo Concave bearing installed. Once again, this is a definite harsh task to design a Bi-metal yoyo with good amount of width but WE STILL GET IT DONE!

I’m in two minds about this at the moment. It looks awesome, but it also looks a bit too much like a Berserker SS to really grab my interest (and my wallet). I’ll keep my eye on it though. If I hear good things and it comes out in a colourway I like, I’ll probably pull the trigger. As Greg said, I would be interested to see how they’ve improved upon the original. 🙂 ---

I’m highly disappointed in what they’ve done I tend to agree the original didn’t need an upgrade, but I was not against the idea of a bi-metal krown I found the original was already too large (I like 42/43), so even if I loved it, I didn’t give mine much play time, so the new ratio width/diameter doesn’t please me at all, now it’s both too large and too small I don’t doubt it’s good, it’s just definitely not what I was expecting ☹ ---

I was talking about width range, I should have typed 42-43, my bad 😃 Sleipnir, Draupnir, Anglam, Berserker… I don’t know the need for wider yoyos today, they’re so inaesthetic imo Didn’t like the Acrophobia, both too wide and too small for me I only go with wide yoyos when they’re oversized, Dreadnought and Overdrive are prime examples The Krown is truly a great yoyo, I just don’t feel comfortable with its width But if I get to try the Krown ST someday, I hope to change my mind on it ---
