Thoughts on the Sengoku Shinobi?

If so, thoughts? The idea of a alum/SS/Brass combo interests me but the M body doesn’t seem like the most stable configuration

very floaty, and an absolute speed demon. I love mine. not too stable tho

I made a review on it a while back. The stability is good, difficult to quantify these things, but I would say it’s more stable than a shutter and less stable than the most stable bimetals (Draupnir, Anglam, etc).

Where it really shines is the power, which, to my knowledge, may very well be #1 on the market.

Here is my review: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VK-HvvG_9F8

Side note, don’t assume the “M” shape is unstable. The most stable yo-yo I’ve ever thrown is the Sengoku Samurai which really doubles down on the “M” shape.

The Shinobi is a good choice. I imagine it as what the cream of the competition yoyo crop might look today like in an alternate universe if around 2008, Japanese players started winning with “M” shape yo-yos instead of “V” shapes.
