Description

‌Turning Point - Mortal

Undersized, Jun Aramaki signature bimetal model.

This is the second Turning Point model featuring our staff member, Jun Aramaki. This model is a complete change from the previous Ensemble model, and is an undersized bimetal yo-yo designed for 1A play. A postcard autographed by Jun will be included with each shipment.

In fact, this model is based on a prototype that was produced in small quantities by Turning Point, but with a lot of respect for Dr. Mo (2001-2003 World Mod Contest Winner) and his signature Mini Mo-Trix series.

Therefore, Dr. Mo and his former Team YoYoJam teammate Jun Aramaki, who preferred larger yo-yos for 3A and smaller, more maneuverable yo-yos for 1A, were offered the opportunity to develop a signature model.

The wide rim, reminiscent of Jun's favorite yo-yo, the Mini Mo-Tu, provides powerful rotation and sleep extension despite its small size. The 48mm-diameter body is close to the limit of normal use as a string trick yo-yo. Once you feel its toughness, which is hard to imagine from its small size, you will want to try the complex and detailed string tricks that only this size can offer.

As with the Mini Mo-Trix series, a cap can be mounted on the side face.

Vibey Mortal

This is a grail for me. I saved up for months to finally afford it. I finally was able to purchase but was a lil disappointed when it came pretty vibey out of the box. I’ve bought well over 100 yo-yos so I have gotten pretty good At being able to tune out most vibe if a Yoyo does come with it, there are many things to do, I tried many different bearings, strings etc. The Yoyo is very vibey with the caps on which I expected some vibe with the caps but this amount is more than what I would say is acceptable for a $180 bimetal from a high end brand. After throwing it for a couple weeks, and trying many different bearings, I’ve gotten the vibe to an acceptable level, but I cannot throw it with the caps on which is a bit disappointing since I love the look with caps. Anyway aside from the vibe I really do love the Yoyo and it would be my favorite Yoyo by far if not for the vibe cuz it is a beast for sure! I wonder if I just was unlucky.
