The agility of a small diameter yoyo, the width and catch of a large diameter yoyo but the negative space, the air, is what gives Avant Garde its feeling of float you have never felt before. The unique shape is hidden below a soft familiar rim. The weight is in three locations, the inner diameter wall for speed and agility then in the aero foil step, effectively creating a concentration of mass towards, but not on the rim adding stability but not slowing the rotation and finally on the outer diameter wall, not too much, just enough for you to know the Avant Garde is here for business. In the hand the feeling is of a soft, large yoyo. On the string it feels light, but plays a touch heavier and certainly returns with more energy than expected. The inner diameter rim has a nice lip for thumb grinding. Note : Avant Garde 2 fits GLOW MOD very well Small run (less than 200 pieces) Hand Assembled and tested Made in the USA
