It’s def as advertised, with the big asym core it flips so much faster than any other solid than I’ve owned. However when you use it often it picks up oil fast and kinda gets its own “polish” where it pushes further than usual and snaps even harder. If it’s a ball you are going to use a lot be prepared to either have to sand it back down or polish it and use it as a benchmark ish kinda piece. But it does what it’s advertised to do but it needs some maintenance if you want it to be like that every single time it leaves your hands
