All yo-yos have passed the manufacturer's quality inspection. Quality standards vary by manufacturer. Basically, products that can be used normally are within product specifications.
Examples of possible initial defects
if the following symptoms occur immediately after opening, they may be initial defects:
(Bind models only) The bearing barely rotates even when flicked with a finger.
Even after dampening vibrations with a finger during play, the yo-yo vibrates so much that its shape appears distorted.
Parts that should be installed (bearings, pads) are not installed.
Examples that do not constitute initial defects
Package damage
Color differences from expectations
Bearing noise or bind model return issues that occur after even a few plays
Yo-yos that arrived properly assembled but cannot be reassembled after disassembly
Scratches on the inside of the bearing area, paint chips
Color variations on the yo-yo that are not noticeable from a distance
Paint chips that are not noticeable from a distance
Scratches on the yo-yo that are not noticeable from a distance and barely detectable by touch
Minor rust on bearing surfaces of models that come pre-strung in the package (minor external rust has almost no impact on performance)
This Phalanx has been refined to use a size D bearing.
*The current stock for this item is a special bundle, coming with the Story Book #7*
Story Book 7 synopsis: In order to protect and improve her homeland, the long-haired beauty, Yukiko strives for excellence day by day. She approaches Gouki with her yo-yo extended as one might hold a business card, but he responds with a counter attack from the Southpaw Leo Sniper. Yukiko's weapon of choice is full of surprises; the D-Phalanx with a narrow gap and a long string that Gouki has never seen before. Could this be Yukiko's chance to defeat Gouki, who is battling without his Eclipse Ogre?
This Phalanx is redesigned to be outfitted with a size D bearing. The designer, Susukino lent his hand in the manufacturing process, to ensure that the D-Phalanx would embody the appeal of both the original Phalanx and the smaller bearing.
The D-Phalanx differs greatly from the D-Starter. The monometal design of the D-Phalanx allows it to have a wide 46mm body. This kind of body creates a weight distribution that would be near impossible with a bimetal design; by using the design of the Phalanx, Sturm Panzer has surpassed its own extreme limits once again. The size D bearing gives a ferocious spin which is beautifully complemented by the Phalanx's rounded H-profile. This also gives the D-Phalanx a new feeling that transfers that energy into your hands in a new and exciting way.
Some minor adjustments to the Phalanx design include a slight narrowing of the gap and lowering of the edge, giving the D-Phalanx a smoother throw and making it 2 grams lighter than its big brother. The D-Phalanx is also made from 6061 Aluminum, making it possible to drop the price from the 7075 Phalanx.
Set includes Sturm Panzer Story Book (7th edition, A5 size, 34 pages), two pads, and a stainless steel axle (M3x10mm).
From the maker: The bearing used is a CP-06 D, dry 9-ball bearing. If you wish, you can switch it out for a high performance Dif-e-Yo KonKave bearing. Please note that you accept responsibility for modifying your yo-yo.
The response pads are Blade Attack Pads (Super Grip Economy). We've included two spare pads with the yo-yo. The new Blade Attack pads are more responsive than the previously-used CP-07 Blade Attack pads.
The Axle is the stainless steel M3-10. We've included a spare axle with this yo-yo. Because the M3-10 is narrower than our standard M4 axle, we urge you to handle it carefully when performing modifications and maintenance on your yo-yo, and be careful not to drop or hit the yo-yo too hard, or you might damage or break the axle.
Some marks or scuffs on the yo-yo may be present; they are a result of the manufacturing process and do not affect how the yo-yo plays.
