ND Ultra Bgrade

YoYoFactory - ND Ultra Bgrade

Made of 7068 aluminum, the ND Ultra is made for the PNWR champion and national competitor, Nate Dailey.

Champion of the 2017 PNWR contest, and snagging 5th at the 2017 US Nationals, Nate Dailey is a player on the rise. Now, he's put his name on the map with his own signature throw that has been in development for over a year now.

As a member of the YYF Ultra series, the body material is 7068 aluminum, now gaining popularity for being even more durable than 7075, still the main choice for high-end yo-yos. The parts that need to be thin are as thin as possible, to maximize weight distribution. As a result, the specs for this thing are quite impressive when you take a caliper to them!

Speaking of specs, the ND Ultra is surprisingly light for a monometal these days, at 63 grams. And yet, the power and stability that we've come to expect from YYF's premium lineup is in full force. Paired up with the comfortable catch and wide catch zone, the ND Ultra is great for speedy play and hops, or influent-style moves that demand a lot of physicality.

Almsot all of the surfaces of the body are curved in some way, giving the ND Ultra a feeling as smooth as its namesake.

Official Description
Nate Dailey represents the NOW generation.

We have worked with him making custom yoyos for over a year. He has won or finaled at the biggest contests in the world and now we have something special to share with players around the world.

Introducing Nate's new yoyo is named ND Ultra. The Ultra reflects the use of 7068 grade alloy which is marketed as stronger than steel. It certainly can stand up to some punishment.

In play it delivers the magic of feeling in play much heavier than its 63.7gm suggests.

The smooth refined shape finishes the yoyo off as a tactile masterpiece.

We are excited for this yoyo to join our product line for the NOW and future.

"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.
