Well said. Easily a top five performer in my collection. And all three colorways are outrageous. I’m going to buy another one Incase anything ever happens I need a backup. So limited I can’t take the chance of not having one in my life. At $70 best money I’ve ever spent on a new throw. World class ---

Don’t forget to check out the [Boutique Yoyo Collective](http://boutiqueyoyos.com/) booth at the World Yo-Yo Contest next week! There will be a limited number of each color there. [![boutiqueyoyocollective](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/f/3/f/f3fd5127d434f40c612c7ff2263a1ee6a60bf736.jpeg)](http://boutiqueyoyos.com/) I don’t think literally all of these companies will be there, but a lot of them will be! I think there are 9-10 signed up for the table. Interesting fact so far: The pink/purple has been by far the most popular color, followed closely by green/green, then half-swaps, and finally blue/aqua. I personally feel like they all look great, but pink/green are rarer colors in the yo-yo world, so people seem drawn to get one of them instead. Oh, and raw sold out instantly but I only had 2 to sell. Raws are making a come-back??? ✨ ![r](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/b/0/6/b06df8bb20018b1af8fcb103cdd584726fe2849a.jpeg) ![g](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/4/7/a/47a9a7b9caa947f9546aa65066fde3ef99631a19.jpeg) ![b](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/4/5/b/45bdbfe0c4ae008590b3c81bcedbeaa6262ee661.jpeg) (All three photos by the amazing @shatterFX) Also, if you [follow me on Instagram you can see my secret squirrel statue](https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz8oLWFBWYW/) and I will \<3 you of course. ---

It’s a great, safe, and cheap 7075 design. Well balanced is how I would put it. Good at everything. Throws n brews would LOVE this because good looks, good feel, good speed, glass smooth, nice finish for grinds, good at fingerspins, good at thumb grinds cuz it has IGR 🤷‍♂️ Literally marks everything off his checklist :joy: ---

This is the new collab with OPYOYOS. Uh, it’s not pink… not everywhere. Gotta have that proto raw look, after all. We spent like a month thinking of the name “Converge”, which is very clever, of course. ![converge-crochet](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/6/9/4/6947cf7833bc291d43a2cd7d3d88495959520fa3.jpeg) width: 46mm diameter: 58mm mass: ~63g 7068 and stainless steel rings. Oh, you’re interested in my crochet project? I’m making a pen-holder-roll thing for a friend. It’s pretty sweet but also a soft bed for new yoyos.
