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)
Despite being bimetal, it has a three-layer structure; introducing the "New Sensation Bimetal."
This is the signature model of Izuru Hasumi, the 2021 Japan National Championship 1A Division Champion. It is positioned above his signature model Pragma as the highest-tier competition model.
With an A7075 body + stainless steel rim + A7075 wing, this is a bimetal with a three-layer structure made of two types of metals. This has created a "sensation like riding in a luxury car" that's different from ordinary bimetal models. The face adopts a through-axle design, reminiscent of early YoYoFactory.
By placing the stainless steel rim in the center of the three-layer structure, it achieves the powerful rotation and stability of an outer rim while securing the softness and high operability of a midship weight rim. This unique shape and weight distribution has achieved an exceptionally difficult balance that is typically hard to produce.
The bearings and pads were also carefully selected by Izuru and come pre-installed, no tweaks needed. From the moment you open the package, it's provided with settings that allow its performance to shine to the maximum.
It has undergone stonewash treatment to realize a special texture. Therefore, there may be dents that look like scratches, abrasions, or actual scratches from the surface treatment.
The logo engraving on the stainless steel rim may have slight darkening due to the characteristics of the material.
Initial Configuration
Bearing: NSK Micro Precision Inc. Concave Bearing

Comment from Izuru Hasumi
After a long time, my new signature model, Pneuma has been born.
"Pneuma" is Greek for "life/energy" or "principle of life/existence." I named it this way because I want to pour my energy into this new partner that I'll be using as my main yo-yo and walk together with it.
Also, it sounds similar to my other signature model, Pragma, which creates a sense of familiarity, so I've been warming up to the name "Pneuma" for a long time.
The yo-yo you use daily and the yo-yo best suited for competitions are often different choices. This is because during actual performances, tension and anxiety can change how the yo-yo feels. The greater the tension and anxiety, the more you may lose the sense of throwing or experience unexpected movements, which can lead to mistakes.
To deliver the best performance when it counts, choosing a yo-yo with the actual performance in mind becomes the top priority.
Pneuma is heavier than the average weight, improving power and stability. In addition, it overcomes the challenge of "difficulty in handling" due to weight through its midship rim and special structure. It has been finished as a yo-yo that helps overcome tension and anxiety and provides reassurance.
I can confidently say it's a yo-yo that demonstrates its maximum potential during "actual performances." I hope that new "life" will sprout and shine through everyone who picks it up.
