How you finding it after the first impressions? I do like the shape a lot I do not have anything in this style, the onyl very comfy shape I have that it’s ok to be pushed for serious tricks is the GTR-JS. Do I need another bimetal? NO, do I want this one? YES ---

I personally love this yo-yo! - The shape is wide but not too wide and is very comfortable in the hand. It plays actually a little heavier than it says, and I find it spins a lot longer than you anticipate while doing longer combos. Overall rating 10/10 would recommend lol Also just wanted to add that this is a GREAT competition yo-yo! - The size and weight are pretty ideal to hit any trick along with it spinning for your longer tricks/combos in a routine! - But also could be just fun to use as a daily throw! 🙂 ---

i pretty much agree exactly with Eric! i don’t have a bimetal with similar specs to it either, imo it isn’t really anything like the gtr-js in play other than them nothing being high performance and comfortable. hard to say with it being so new but i might like it more than the JS ---

Ok I got mine in the mail and spent some time to get first impressions. Overall the yoyo feels about mid-weight when getting it up to speed and changing directions. Can definitely play it fast with a pinch of effort to push it. The spin is powerful. The shape is very very comfortable in hand, I got the matte blue one and the texture is great. Nail vibe is nonexistent, my particular one came GLASS smooth. Very happy with the yo-yo, it makes me want to get my hands on a Physix now ---
