These are only first impressions so I’m not gonna go into the nitty gritty but will tell you a bit about this throw. Specs: Diameter: 58.65 mm Width:41.4 mm Gap Width: 3.55 mm Weight: 70.7 grams Bearing Size: Size C Response: 19 mm YoYoJam Silicone Response Overall this is a beast plastic and YYJ really did well with the Surge. It has that solid feel but plays so light and quite speedy for its weight. And everyone seems to be worrying about the narrow gap but really, it poses no problem whatsoever. The Surge also is quite good for 5a. And of course the price! There is no reason to not pick one up. It is an awesome throw that I love and am sure you will too! Also, ask me any questions you have! ~Andrew ---

I just bought one these out of curiosity, and I will honestly say that it is the smoothest and best balanced YoYo under $20.00 I have ever thrown. I was surprisingly impressed… :wink: ---
