Glad you guys have been liking this throw! A lot of love went into the design. I’ve found it difficult in the past to go with extreme rim weight on a design and still get the yo-yo to dance and float on the string. The AE has no trouble 
Picked up my Prodigy the other day too. Completely different feel than the Alter Ego, but still love it. The AE design is just more refined and better prepared to handle all the latest stage tricks. I consider it our best work yet
