Hi guys,

Recently got back into the hobby after years off.

I’ve fallen in love with the Sengoku Shinobi’s play, but as a collector, I’d love to try out more throws like it.

Here are the specs of the Sengoku Shinobi:

Diameter: 54.09 mm / 2.13 inches  
Width: 46.16 mm / 1.82 inches  
Gap Width: 4.50 mm / 0.18 inches  
Weight: 64.8 grams  
Bearing Size: Size C (.250 x .500 x .187)  
Response: Slim Pad Size 19mm OD  
Material: 7068 Aluminum

My main gripe with the Shinobi is that it’s M-shape means that the usable gap width is comparable to an undersized/mini yoyo such as the Mini Hummingbird (37.22 mm / 1.47 inches). My dream yoyo would be the Shinobi but wider with a usable width of 44-46 mm.

The Shinobi is quite dense and plays POWERFULLY, feels quite heavy on the string and handles directional changes quite well.

The G2 LLT looks like a possible contender but I’d love to hear more recommendations of similar throws or even just ones that you just can’t put down.

_Disclaimer: I’ve never thrown a shinobi (or a yoyo called the Shinobi)._

Bit late, but have you checked out its bimetal predecessor, the Sengoku Samurai?  
Specs:

| Diameter (mm) | 55.01 |
| Width (mm) | 49.81 |

I have! Very interested, I put up a thread looking for one in the BST but as I found most other throws that I was looking for I let the thread die.

Maybe this is my sign to keep looking!
