I think that’s an overstatement-- I can still tell that it’s a heavy yoyo. But don’t let that cause fear! Recently I have been playing heavy, and I’m loving it. I’m normally a light yoyo guy, but the fact is that when you find a “heavier” yoyo that has unique play characteristics, it’s just worth it… and you are also rewarded with longer spin. 
The Elysian is a great-playing yoyo and the best fingerspins in the business are just a side benefit.
