Hey guys. I have a catalyst I picked up in a trade at a comp. I noticed it looks different than the ones on YYE. I’ve taken a couple pics. [http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/07/11/ugabudav.jpg](http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/07/11/ugabudav.jpg)

So the main thing is, there are holes in the side rather than being covered like the pictures [http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/07/11/u2y9uqeb.jpg](http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/07/11/u2y9uqeb.jpg)
Otherwise I think it’s about the same, but the axle thing confused me. I’m wondering now if it’s just that it isn’t 7075… Anyway, if anybody knows, let me know. Thanks!

P.S. Anyone know what ‘color way’ this would be? I think it’s like a gray acid wash…

It’s just an acid wash of a standard 6061 Catalyst.

thars what im thinking, like they dont have the splash of my supernova on this site, its blue with a lot of black speckles, and purple acid wash over all of it.
I thought I got an extremely rare supernova, but I don’t.

Thanks, that’s what I figured after I saw only 7075 on YYE!

That would be a YoYoFactory Catalyst

I could be wrong, but… I think that is a second run. After the first run sold out (red, purple,aqua colored green/blue…) these were released without the catalyst symbol on the rim.
