COLONY: [http://yoyoexpert.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Iturning-point-colony-1.png](http://yoyoexpert.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Iturning-point-colony-1.png) [http://yoyoexpert.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Iturning-point-colony-2.png](http://yoyoexpert.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Iturning-point-colony-2.png) This is the newly redesigned signature model of 1A & 5A legend Takeshi Matsuura – The Colony! As Takeshi Matsuura’s style continues to evolve, so do the tools he needs to compete. The Colony is the latest model in his line of signature yo-yos and it is the best yet!

The Colony has a broader and heavier steel ring placed on the outer rim which gives it a completely different weight distribution than the Palpitation. It has a more powerful spin and a greater stability in play with improved horizontal performance! ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/a/6/5/a65490d46abbdfa23c6e40cb629d7b10056d4c86.png) Used by Takeshi in the 2016 World Yo-Yo Contest, the Colony has world class performance and is the perfect choice for 1A or 5A play! > **[Turning Point](https://shop.yoyoexpert.com/collections/turning-point)** > > 2009 World Champion Kentaro Kimura is one of the most talented names in yo-yoing.

If you haven’t seen Jason’s freestyle yet go take a look, actually, watch it twice! He has some of the most dynamic and impressive bangers in the game and speed combos that your eyes will have a hard time following!

It has a wide stepped gap that provides a larger catch zone for riskier moves and a large diameter to give you throws some serious power. The weight distribution has the perfect mix of center and rim weight that gives the Haast a surprisingly fast and maneuverable feel for a larger yo-yo. Just look at those speed combos, this thing can move! > **[Turning Point](https://shop.yoyoexpert.com/collections/turning-point)** > > 2009 World Champion Kentaro Kimura is one of the most talented names in yo-yoing.
