Feel, Size and Tech
When I first saw the M1 I couldnt belive how small it is. After playing with a DM and a Legacy it looks like a something that you can throw with yours fingers. I love the look of a litlle cute small yoyo but at first you feel that you wont can did even a 2or0. when you hold it it feel really really solid like a small rock, totally different to the feel of a plastic.
Also the anodized is beautiful and really smooth, it doesnt feel sticky.

Inside it has two flow groove pads and a 10 ball bearing. The pads was very responsive at first and my bearing came whit a bit of lube, so the yoyo came back with a tug. after some hours of play it gives really tights binds and unresponsive play, also they last a long time. The 10 ball bearing is definitely the smoothest bearing Ive ever played, is smoother than a AIGR, a KK, and definitely smoother than the stock yoyojam bearings. It is like butter, have really great spin times, and is really quiet. I dont know how it could be better. I couldnt wait more time to throw it.

On a Throw
In the first throw you feel that nothing more matters, that you are alone in the universe, that you finally could die in peace. Well maybe I am exaggerating, but the sense of the first throw is amazing. The yoyo glides trough the string and when it reach the end of the string you feel… you feel… you… , well really you dont feel anything, it spin like mad at the end but you dont feel nothing. For me it was a new experience. Now, after playing with it for a couple months, it feel more natural but it is still the smoother yoyo that ive played.

It isnt definitely floaty, it feels heavy, even heavier than a 70g plastic yoyos, but it really flies, is like a heavy yoyo that plays light but with a lot of character.
Chopsticks are easy with this. It is very stable, no more than a DM but you can correct easily any tilt without losing a lot of spin.
Grinds are now one of my favorite tricks with this, the anodized is perfect for this and you can do really long grinds and control it without using your non-throw hand. It feel like if it floates in your arm.
I like doing IRG with this than in DM, no offense Andre but the IR in the DM is too small and thin at least for me.
Conclusion
I would recommend this yoyo for anyone who wants a undersized yoyo that plays like a heavy one with a ridiculous price. This is a throw that makes you more precise but it also does anything you want without effort. Definitely this is a win from one drop.
