the northstar isn’t heavy, in a fact that it’s LIGHT ok? I fling it around all day at speeds like fast. double the speed as my legacy. protostar and northstar are almost same except for color and inventor. i like protostar cause the translucent color is so epic. my freind is also ordering a translucent yellow/green (that’s one of the best colors)
