That’s nice to see it being cheaper for the same quality as like the converge and stuff, I’ll definitely have to pick this up! ---

Shnazy (a word that means “really cool”. it’s a family thing) looking throw. I was going to buy the converge but then I didn’t have enough money. This will go nicely with my collection. Also, on he converge, if you come out with another run of it, I suggest a mirror finish/ raw colorway. ---

I was really digging the Exia until saw it was a bimetal. I’m really not sure why, but that was a hype killer for me. ---

Closer look at the production Exia in daylight. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/d/9/1/d91def3b5fd9ddac696ada5999f40255cf465feb.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/c/3/c/c3cfe05f699caa3e4587a6d51f8b3841d40104fe.jpeg) Couple of small changes vs. the first prototypes. Slightly smaller diameter, slightly less mass, refined cup, and of course an engraving. Really, really happy with how they turned out. I think this sits right in the middle of all the existing Mk1 designs - it’s a bit wider than the average, but not at Umbra levels. It weighs less than the Diffraction but more than the Umbra and Converge. It has a similar shape to the Diffraction but more power, but not as powerful as the Converge. It’s not just an average, but a culmination of all of my design experience so far, now with lots of testing backup from my team. So excited for the drop day, November 6th! ---

That throw looks so fresh. I can’t wait for it to drop. I still can’t decide between pink blue fade or black with rainbow rims. So excited!! 😁 ---

One of my favorite “hidden” design features of the Diffraction was the under-rim cuts. Makes what can be a simple feature look a little cooler at the right angle. The Exia got the same treatment. The weight ring also acts as a ledge for thumb grinds, if you’re so inclined. ![exia_6_blur](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/3/4/7/3477d7c2ca8abf939483f30a5fc065bae2d612f7.jpeg) [Previous page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/mk1-yoyos-official-news/294446.md?page=21) [Next page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/mk1-yoyos-official-news/294446.md?page=23)
