Lathed Back Design's "Lagrange Kit - Royal Splash" (purple with gold splash) titanium modular return top.

From lathedbackdesign.com:
"In celestial mechanics, the Lagrange points are desirable places of stability that exist between two large orbiting bodies, you, the universe, and your yo-yo. Take a moment to just be a wonderful part of it with the Lagrange!

The Lagrange is the second in our line of high performance mini modular yo-yos and the follow up to our H thoroughbred the Bangarang, designed with a little more gusto to bring that nice organic feel into the mini of your dreams. Built from the ground up utilizing titanium to allow our niche designs with no comparison, but beyond any other conception of the yo-yo being the brainchild of a fighter jet and a swiss army knife. Hardened, no frills fully capable pocket beasts that use aerodynamics to make up for their weight in very interesting ways while being fully capable competition platforms. Whether you want to take it and go, put on a show, or just relax and slip away into the universe, the Lagrange has you covered.

With three play options out-of-the-box and expandable to a full size throw with any of our available Competition or Looper Delrin rim kits. Beyond just a gimmick they are truly a paradox, and that's before the ano work that we do 100% in house. The cores have been designed to be both beyond extremely playable and still weighted properly for looping turnovers and full size without feeling heavy. The modular aspect not only lets them step up to the stage, but gives you a layer of armor to take the risks with your prized throws and not have to worry about damage or one hit wobblers of other designs, this is titanium with a purpose.

We only run our designs in batches of 100's so when they are gone they are gone, though each new design will work with the same modular accessories as the last. Less than 100 will be in the wild.

Yo-yo works best with thin string but regular is fine as well. Thick string is recommended for responsive / looping play with the narrow bearing or size A blank that are included.

The optional add-on delrin modular rims were designed for looping and dyed in-house by Lathed Back Design."

About Lathed Back Design
"Back in 2019 along side my wife we set out on a journey of creating toys, modifying others and saving broken ones as well as the memories that go with them … all with the goal of seeing people smile and knowing that what we create can help bring happiness into the world. Several months later unfortunately everything was taken away from us in a tragic house fire, luckily we all made it out which is the only thing that really matters. Over the last few years we have strived and spent every minute rebuilding our lives and trying to get back to anything that we can call normal these days. Finally we are here and ready to show our creativity to the world, to bring you products that can help put a smile on your face even when you are at the darkest point of your life … we know there are always silver linings. The original creators of Colliders! The first fusion of Kendama and Begleri bringing you a unique ball in a cup.

Remember when life falls apart, pick up the pieces and keep rolling! Life is precious, enjoy every minute!"
