Yoyorecreation came up with a very cool concept for this new signature model; The cross section profile of this yo-yo actually makes up Takimoto Mizuki’s initials, TM. It doesn’t get much more signature than that! Don’t let the fun concept fool you though, the TM is far from just a clever concept, and Takimoto Mizuki proved that by winning the Northern Japan tournament with his new signature model!
Primarily a 3A player, Takimoto Mizuki needs a yo-yo with a really powerful spin and stability and that’s exactly what the TM delivers. It has a fast yet powerful feel on the string without too much heft. It’s an impressive high performance design that feels perfect for 1A as well!
I have one of these (that’s mine below) and it is AWESOME.
I love how each color has a totally different engraving.
It’s a great little throw, little undersized (or at least on the smaller end at 56mm). The catch zone is a bit unforgiving but it plays absolutely fantastic.
So, yeah it is smaller than the Overdrive and I guess maybe “undersized” is too strong of a word, it’s on the smaller end of the regular spectrum I guess you would say.
