At 70g, the MSG is heavy, large, and one of the heavier recent releases, with amazing control and a real presence on the string. It takes the opposite approach from the many new throws that go light and nimble, putting power and control first. Give yourself some time to get used to the weight and you can take full advantage of the power and stability it offers, which is a big part of why it works so well for both 1A and 3A.

This looks really good. I’m considering getting this as my first Turning Point yoyo. Does anyone know what MSG stands for?

Nah that’s probably what it’s named after, MSG is very popular in Japan. It was actually invented there.

The name of his second sig is ASTer, and AST stands for Aspartate Aminotransferase, which produces glutamate, interesting stuff
