ND Bgrade

YoYoFactory - ND B Grade

This wide-bodied full metal yo-yo is a perfect step up model.

Winner of the 2017 PNWR yo-yo contest, and taking 5th place the same year at the US National Yo-Yo Contest, Nate Dailey gets a low cost signature model in the new ND.

If you've been working on the fundamentals, and are looking to step into full metal and full-on bind return tricks, we highly recommend giving the ND a try. Compared to its "rival" models like the Shutter and Horizon, ND has a wide, light body with a generously curved profile, making it both easy to throw and land tricks.

ND is a great model for light, casual practice. Even without throwing hard, the inverse round shape helps keep sleep loss at bay, so your yo-yo keeps spinning for as long as you need.

Official Description
The ND Ultra has received nothing but praise for its performance. Nate Dailey has grown as a player and his profile is still rising. We are attempting to take the step with Nate to the next level releasing the ND, a 6061 type aluminum version of the ND Ultra which puts his yoyo right in the most competitive price point. This also allows us to finish the ND with a range of vibrant colorways to further increase the eye candy and player appeal.

"What is B-Grade?"
In 2009, YoYoFactory started selling a selection of "outlet" items at events. Calling them "B-Grades," that name has spread throughout the yo-yo world, and is now a common term.
At B-Grade sales, you can pick up excellent yo-yos with mild imperfections, discolorations, marks or scratches. These make them less desirable as finished products, but they're still great yo-yos and totally playable, meaning you can get a high quality throw for a bargain price. As a result, B-Grade sales have become very popular.

"What kinds of B-Grades are there?"
The majority of B-Grades have small discolorations or cosmetic blemishes from the anodization process. These are known as "C-Types," whereas yo-yos that are not perfectly balanced and have some vibes are called "V-Types." Some may have both types of imperfection; it's always good to double check

Important Points:
B-Grades are outlet products because for one reason or another they haven't met the maker's standards for their products, things to look out for include:
-color imperfections, finish may look dull or scratched
-bearing or response pads aren't well installed or working properly. Often, switching out these parts will address these issues.
-Bearings or pads may differ from the standard product model.
-Artwork or logos may differ from the standard model.
-Other issues may exist, but nothing so bad as to make the yo-yo unplayable.
