Thanks!

This is not a great fingerspin design, but it’s fun to look at/touch the hub.

While it’s obviously not centering, I’d bet it’ll still fingerspin ok and most importantly will feel unique. Centering hubs get old imo after a bit anyways.

2nd new colorway reveal: Gloss emerald.

Green is a good excuse to put yoyos into a plant. Or in front of a plant. Maybe behind it.

That’s what they’ve been telling me! I like how it came out, but I’m afraid of it getting the back seat amongst the other colorways in this run.

Just one more to reveal after I get the photos all sorted.

This fade is “Apricot”. Sort of rose-gold on one side, champagne-gold on the other.

 ![Contact-pinkorange-profile](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/d/4/4/d44581d6e138d68ea6f726773237d1967e0315fb.jpeg)  
(Photo by @shatterFX, who’s been my pro photographer since the Diffraction 2 release)

Sometimes it looks coppery.

It’s probably the softest-looking of the colorways.

The final important detail of the Contact is that it plays _pretty good_ as a tug-responsive yoyo, even a bit of 0a, since the wall (after the schmoove) is _just_ high enough to be stable during a stall.

Every one of them is shipping with an 8mm axle + slim bearing for responsive play. One of mine is going to stay set up like this permanently.

The bearing posts are nice and short so it’s easy to pop one bearing out and put the other in.

Nate said some nice things about my design. Give it a watch, he puts a lot of effort and time into making these videos. In the snow, even!

Also releasing on the 27th this month, two new Exia colorways.

Pink/purple fade. Lovely photos by @shatterFX, of course.
