I love mine! Have you ever considered doing a really soft matte/aggressive blast finish?

I’ve had very bad luck with heavily matte yoyos cutting strings. The first Umbra run had a pretty aggressive blast but the response was polished, which is a good compromise but also an extra complication during production. You’ve got me thinking about it again though…

Does anyone know how this yoyo compares to the sugar glider?

Significantly wider, but has a kind of similar lightweight agile feel in play.

I have both and Umbra feels more zoomy and I think stabler and lighter :o Sugar Glider feels more like a standard Yoyo and Umbra feels different to most standard width yoyos
