Most Excellent and accurate description. I have the Silver/black acid 7.
Many of Kentaros’ yoyos have a very similar shape. Regardless of diameter/width, they have a pretty distinctive shape.
Kentaros is obviously a Mastermind because he gets the most performance out of that shape in every model he puts out.
The second to last Turning Point yoyo I bought was the Leviathan 6… With the rings pressed into the inside edges of the yoyo. I was instantly impressed with how well it ‘worked for me’. Was actually kinda funny at first because even though I helped design the Minimo, the Minimotu and the Micro-Mo for Yoyojam(years ago to prove Beasts could come in small packages) I have mostly moved my size preferences up over time.
So when I got the 6 I was hoping to kinda refresh my interest in smaller yoyos. As soon as the 6 rolled down the string, I knew something good happened. So much Power in a smaller size didn’t seem possible.
Interestingly, I had purchased the 6 only a month before the 7 came out. So when I saw the New yoyo page for the 7, I thought, ‘go figure… I just got this yoyo and a New model just about the same size comes out, duh, lol’. But this one(the 7) has the weight rings on the outside. The 6 is so good, now could the 7 be even ‘better’ just because the weight was migrated to the outer edges?
I stared at the price for a minute… A long minute. Geeze, this 7 costs more than a Draupnir, lol. Considering how nice the Draupnir plays; it almost seems illegal to charge more for a yoyo, hehe.
But how would I know without trying one or buying one? Knowing nobody to borrow one from, I had to just bite the bullet and $buy$ one.
First thing I thought when I started throwing the Leviathan 7 was that it could have been given a more realistic name like Giant Killer.
I don’t really have a personal Top 5 yoyo list. But if somebody challenged me to cough up a Top 5 favorites list; The Leviathan 7 would immediately make the list. And then I would decide on the other 4.
It is that good in my opinion.
The Leviathan 6 is like a Home run… But the 7 is like a Home run with two men on base.
Actually, I don’t think Kentaro has ever made a yoyo that I didn’t like.
