Yes. This was worth the watch. I want to see you shred with it. Also, Terrarian was my first OD too. I vowed the day I got it to have all ODs I would ever posses be the same color (Pyramatte blue is king you cannot change my mind). Really looking forward to the Leaf review, and I wonder if FeatherSpin’s Osprey would interest you, it is a more comp focused yoyo, or at least an homage to comp yoyos of the 2000’s, lol ---

Haha I’d have 10 - I think the handful of light blue Summits originally sold back at Cal States 2013 were half a gram lighter too. I love lighter yoyos so I was bummed to miss out…here we go again ---

From Steve in the CLYW discord again: "The team ultimately decided they preferred the 1 gram heavier one, but it was after we’d already committed to production on the lighter one. We had the protos done late in the evening and it was a “decide now” moment to make sure we had yoyos in time for PNWR. I make decisions on these things quickly, the team does not. But on advice of the team I decided for that heavier one to be the final production model. Aaron and I were the only ones who preferred the lighter model…literally everyone else wanted the heavier one." I think CLYW/OD have done enough that you can assume the decisions are in aid of trying to make the best design, not just an attempt at artificial rarity. ---

It seems a little silly when this is supposed to be the whole point of having SEs. I wonder where the weight distribution was changed and I wonder if you use SEs to weight match if there is actually a noticeable difference. ---

This comment by @JTizzle brings up something I’ve thought about. With side effects we can only add or remove mass at the axle (mass that doesn’t affect the rotational inertia), so it doesn’t make sense for yoyos with SEs to be designed with very much center weight. A rim weighted yoyo can be customised to have a lot of center weight as well, which will have a large effect on feel, but a center weighted yoyo will only be able to become an extremely center weighted yoyo. > [@One Drop YoYos Official News](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/one-drop-yoyos-official-news/43021/3868): > > I did notice during design and testing that The Crucible changes significantly in feel with different side effects. My guess is since it’s so heavily rim weighted relative to the rest of the body, changing the ratio of weight towards the hub actually has a big impact, more than any other OD i have played (Summit 2 has a similar effect) [Next page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/summit-2-unboxing-first-impressions/442245.md?page=2)
