> [@mx.yoyo](#): > > Ive never played a metal with that design although it does look very interesting. What I dont like about it is the same with the PSG. It will most likely be a bit awkward and possibly painful to catch because pf the shape. Still, Id like to test one to put my theory on trial Is it awkward because of the shape, or the not-rounded-that-much edges? ---

Well, since my first post wasn’t so much of a help, I think I would post again with some opinion. Its nice that you already thinking to rounding off some sharp edges to prevent string cutting, nice choice on the bearing also to get a very extreme shape. Anyway, the only thing I can think of is that almost horizontal catch zone near the bearing seat would cause too many friction with string when landing a trapeze like trick, might be best to slope it up a little. Its just my opinion on design though. If this design is goin to be produce, it will be like no other… ---

I however think that because its sloped a bit, however little, than the force of the yoyo swinging down on the string will overpower the force of the slope. Thanks for the heads up though. ---

I think that the rim weight will make it a powerful throw, like an extremely wide Dif-e-yo with the weight rings in them. The shape looks more organic for an H, which I like…the envy was kind of weird, but cool too. This is also heavier, so thats a good thing in my book. I would say go with production, I would buy one if I had the money, for that looks like a beast of a yoyo…pun intended. ---

``` I love the design! The shape is extreme, yet organic and looks great fun to hold and play with. I believe that this shape paired with the 52mm diameter will make this yoyo awesome. Purple is the way to go for ano. Will it be blasted? Looks like a great grinder, plus the shape wont chew up string. I also like the D bearing. Very innovative. How did you come up with Manticore. I know the myths and stuff, but was interested to see how you came up with the name. :) ``` ---
