I feel awkward commenting first, but here goes. the Umbra is now my favorite yoyo out of my 20 yoyos, and that’s saying a lot. this thing is _dead smooth_, no fingernail vibe, tiniest bit of string vibe, but not too noticeable. a lot of people don’t enjoy it for tech, because of the width, and I understand that, but luckily I don’t do a ton of tech. I especially like it for slacks and Injections. the width helps with slacks, and the masked off response pad groove, and bearing seat for Injections. because of this non-blasted finish, it feels grippy, and the string gets caught nicely. it is super light, yet it has a crazy amount of power and a good amount of spin time, and the Umbra is super stable. overall a great yoyo, from a great guy! so yeah… i love the Umbra. ---

YYE hasn’t announced their release date or colorways yet. They’re VERY cool looking, though. Purple/Gold is specific to Mk1, and Pink/Rainbow are for OPYOYOS. YoyoExpert has two special colorways.
