So I’ve spent some time with this now and holy cow this thing rips! it feels so stable pushing it off plane is like trying to push a cow over! (so I’ve heard 🤭) it’s got awesome spin time and i can definitely see this being an incredible “learn the trick” throw. having said that its weight makes it feel like you have to push harder to get it moving but once it’s moving, momentum takes over and it doesn’t feel as heavy. this early in my yoyo career i really enjoy heavier stable feeling yoyos that can see me through sloppy play and stopping to think lol ![1000000427](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/b/9/4/b945007fe6b232685686de812d0ec83a923c9d8b.jpeg) [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/6/3/1/631540bc8065a1897d21904e367a7c9c7253e05a.jpeg " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=92Y1VkyL-HI) ---
