First of all, this yoyo is a brick on the string. You can feel it. As a result, this yoyo is also quite stable. Its quite hard to tilt(Even in a flop). And as a result of that, it is amazing at horizontal. The yoyo barely turns on you and retains it's plane quite well. The wide shape helps as well. Grinds are slightly below average as the finish is a bit course, but it can do them all. Talon grinds, thumb grinds, palm grinds, normal grinds, hot grinds, you name it, it can do it. Fingerspins are all right, the cup is flat and therefore your finger rotates around, but its still quite doable if you have the right technique. The response is right on for me, and I barely ever miss binds. Spin time is average, though I think it is quite helped by my yoyo string being kitty thin. Rejections are terrible due to the wide shape, but slacks and whips are amazing. Speed combos are terrible as this is quite the hefty throw, but its not really designed for that. Tech is actually quite decent as I have not had problems with this yoyo snagging and it is fairly easy to control. Overall, I think this is a great yoyo with great performance, with its only flaws being its failure at speed and average spin time.
