A new review? Hell yeah. No, this thread isn’t dead. A quick update in general:
Good morning gang, it’s been a few months since I’ve posted anything regarding yoyo, and that’s mostly because I’ve been busy with school, training for an out-of-state job that I’m very excited for, and properly getting into cars. You oldheads are done now that I can make actual car comparisons.
Anyways

Generally speaking? This is a great yoyo. Tried the proto at nationals and really liked it. Feels really light and pleasant to play with. Has no sense of lag or overt rimweighted sluggishness; it moves really cleanly. Which is the entire point. Binds are nice and tight.
If you know Jack, this yoyo 100% tracks as his signature lol. Dudes got a really flowy, easy style that calls for pleasant, light, and maneuverable yoyos. I can see why he’d want something like this over something like the Savage.
If you ask me, this yoyo is what happens when you take the good parts of more oldhead yoyos (lightness, easy redirectability, comfort, etc.) and make it properly “new” and arguably objectively better. Instead of pretending like I’m better because I’m playing with Canvas Copy #918274, I have the capacity to actually try bigger tricks.
Main drawbacks and things to consider are that the stability and power don’t quite match top-spec competition yoyos. Don’t expect Wilderness or Halcyon levels of stability and power from this yoyo. (Not what this yoyo is for anyway)
Basically? Really pleasant, really easy to use, really comfortable, very re-directable yoyo with the drawback that it feels a bit dainty because it’s so light.
