From a-rt.ca: "The A-RT (A Return Tops) Squib provides the organic and lively feel of an oak wooden top with the added ultra smooth hand painted finish that alters the way it spins and handles on the string. This unresponsive yo-yo is light and plays floaty and nimble while encouraging finesse in execution with a centre weight high wall design.
Carved by Jensen [Kimmitt] himself. The aluminum guts were machined by the one and only One Drop of Oregon and has One Drop clear Flow Groove pads installed. Also includes the coveted YoYoRecreation DS ball bearing axle!"
