It’s against some archaic rule to identify most yoyos in this topic. If we can’t identify it we are just not very cool. ---

The Akita is really wide making it hard to miss the string. It’s a great “trick learning” yoyo. If you’ve ever played a Manatee, you’ll have a good feel for how wide it is. Compared to some other bi-metals, it felt a bit heavier and less “hollow” due to a more even weight distribution. It felt less zippy than other bi-metals, but the spin time was great. There wasn’t much “organic float,” which I think is due to the big SS rims and weight distribution. It’s a very interesting and capable yoyo. I ended up selling mine as I’ve learned that bi-metals aren’t really for me. There are tons of people that love it. ---

The Akita is nice. Like @Benmichael86 said it feels a lot heavier than most of the other bi-metals I’ve played with. I think what I’d compare it to most is the Galaxy Diver. The Galaxy Diver feels a bit wider and more powerful though, but the Akita is definitely a lot more comfortable in the hand. The listed weight is definitely a bit deceiving, it’ll play heavier and slower than you expect, you really have to work to move it around. I really like both of them but my preference goes slightly to the Galaxy Diver. I’d say the reason to get one is just if you’re specifically looking for an extra-wide bi-metal. If that’s your main criteria, then you’ll probably love it. I enjoy it for 5A, but for 1A there’s a lot of stuff I would rather be playing with. The width and sluggishness feel a bit cumbersome to me for 1A, but plenty of other people seem to adore it for 1A so it’s definitely a personal preference thing. ---
