The racing stripes are a throw back to the lines used on the awesome funky and heavier muscle cars or vans of the 70’s. ---

He did the laser and box artwork for the DownBeat. He did an amazing job. Looking forward to working with him on future projects. Thanks Bart! ---

> [@Yo-YoPro](#): > > It looks really nice. I like the idea of slowing your play down and what not. To many of the competitors go way to fast, it looks like they’re trying to do some kind of Houdini escape the trapped door crap where none of it comes out looking right. I understand that this is the competition realm’s evolutionary path of Yoing, it just looks dumb. I think that this freestyle would make you very happy.

It’s hard to fathom that 70G is heavy to most people, it’s only just slightly heavier than most H-Shapes with this D/W measurement. ---

> [@Yo-YoPro](#): > > It’s hard to fathom that 70G is heavy to most people, it’s only just slightly heavier than most H-Shapes with this D/W measurement. I can only speak for myself, but I’m happiest at around 65g. That’s 5g more than my “happy place”. I have pushed my comfort level for throws like the El Ranchero and Nomad, but when 68g is “pushing it” an extra 2g is noticeable. HOWEVER!!! I have it on good authority from another 65g afficionado (our own mgiroux77) that this thing is AWESOME even for those of us who tend to prefer lighter throws… So yeah… my interest is up, for sure. ---

I tried out some heavier throw and I definitely didn’t like them… but this gives off such a chill and slow vibe that I like it… Plus the racing stripes are so cool, why didn’t anyone think of this before ---

It plays heavy for sure but does not feel to be 70 grams. I played it at yoyo school on Saturday for a good hour strait and felt no discomfort at all… I am impressed!! ---

I took the Weight Rings off my Skyhawk last night and put them on my Torque, to give this idea of a playing with more weight a try out. It was quite a different experience with the Weight Rings on, Magic Drops hitting more fluently and what not even. ---

I am so excited for this throw. It looks beautiful. The price is amazing. I typically love smaller, undersized throws but a nice, heavy full size throw can be a joy. It’s going to be great.
