Despite being bimetal, it has a three-layer structure; introducing the "New Sensation Bimetal".
This is the signature model of Izuru Hasumi, the 2021 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 bimetals. The face adopts a through-axle reminiscent of early "YoYoFactory" designs.
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 attain.
The parts such as bearings and pads were also carefully selected by signature owner Izuru Hasumi and come pre-installed. 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 express its special texture. Therefore, there may be dents that look like scratches, abrasions, or actual scratches.
The logo engraving on the stainless steel rim may have slight darkening due to the characteristics of the material.

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.
