Thanks dude! I’m trying not to be a sappy proud father, but I cannot deny how stoked I am with his determination towards progress.

Thanks for the reply. Yes I have contacted with them through the website.
I also have to say it’s a great feeling yo-yo in play, it just pushes you through from one element to the next. It has real momentum to it.

I’m sure you’re probably going to get a refund but if not:
Get some pva glue, put it along the spine and put it back together, wrap some strong rubber bands around it to keep it closed, and wedge it against a hard surface really tightly with the spine down.
Leave it like that for a full day and it should be good.

Thanks for this! They are sending another, but I’ve since found that a lot of these have bad bindings. If the next is just as bad I may give this a try.

Followup on the Harbinger:
The edges either softened a teensy bit by themselves (maple’s pretty soft and I guess I bang it into stuff in my bag) or my hands hardened or it just doesn’t bother me any more. Maybe all three.
It plays fantastically and I’ve been doing all sorts of stalls/etc that are honestly kinda hard on my Alleycat. The Sugar maple makes it a light one and the response is really, well, responsive.

This is what you got in the mail, not a suggestion for book bind gluing, right?

haha can’t wait to see how big the ball of string gets in another year! 
Yeah I just started doing this last week.
It felt like a good way to have some fun with all the strings I’m shredding through, instead of just chucking them in the bin.

While maple has a soft feel, it actually a pretty hard wood, particularly in proportion to its weight. It’s hardness in on par with white oak. It only appears to be soft because it tends to show up damage more readily because it has a fine texture.
Yep, that’s what I find with the Alleycat too.
