Hey all, my friend @G2_Jake had a little mixup at the G2HQ for this month’s patreon shipment and i ended up with 2 117 al7 brass herdsmans. Instead of sending it back he suggested i set up a pay it forward. I’ve never set one of these up but if you want to get in queue please let me know and i will get you on the list. I think 1 - 2 weeks per person is an adequate amount of time to try it and formulate an opinion on it. We’d really love to get your feedback of it on this thread after. You’re finished with it. Let me know if you’re interested and we will get the ball rolling with this! And a special thanks to @G2_Jake for allowing this PIF. ![31160](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/7/9/8/798e57c724bf6c56ebec93966cf6b1c5e74c2002.jpeg) ![31161](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/f/e/d/fedaed964ebd501af387d79863ddade478f21460.jpeg) ---

Awesome. I would love to jump in on this. I’ve been curious about more of Jake’s throws. I love seeing more of these PIFs out there. It’s such a great way to get throws in people’s hands who otherwise may not ever try them. PIFs have caused me to buy yo-yos I hadn’t even considered prior. I’m just saying… I would like to take a moment and ask ALL who participate to PLEASE be considerate of @Bdumas who is facilitating this. It can be nerve racking when your throw or throws are out there floating around and yet there are no updates as to their whereabouts. It is an amazing act of kindness and sharing to Pay it Forward in this manor. As a participant you’re being prompt with updates, and shipping, as well as at least leaving some thoughts on your experience is not that much to ask in return. Thank you so much @Bdumas and @G2_Jake for putting this together. 🥰 ---

Hey @Glad2bNico how do you like the al7 brass herdsman?? Just to keep a decent schedule id like to see it shipped to @NuroVolt7 somewhere around the 14th - 15th if you can. Do you feel like that gives you enough time with it? ---

Actually, could you swap me and @SlowThrow in turn order? I’m taking a trip to see family from the 19th to the 23rd, and I’d like to get as much time with it as possible ---

Yup! that works great for me! I love the AL7 herdsman, not sure if I love the weight the brass adds. It’s definitely powerful though! I appreciate you doing the pass-around. if you or @SlowThrow could message me the next address, I’ll get it shipped here in a few days 🙂 ---

Is good jojo I think it is now my favorite G2 possibly, but the Banshee was pretty sick. Comfy in hand, awesome on string. Easy to get into that relaxed flow-state kinda play with it. [Next page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/pif-g2-al7-brass-herdsman/447779.md?page=2)
