You are probably no stranger to the organic shape of the Bowl series. Making an organic shape stainless steel yo-yo is far more complicated than, say, a V-shaped one. The reason is simple: an organic-shaped yo-yo is bigger by volume than a V-shaped one. For the same weight, the walls have to be machined thinner. Bowl 303 weighs only 63.7g and is the lightest amongst the aforementioned full-sized stainless-steel offerings. A fortunate thing about the Bowl 303 design is that a protruding nipple or deep groove, which would otherwise have added weight, was not necessary.
Bowl 303 has the thinnest walls of any RSO yo-yo ever made.
Playfeel-wise, Bowl 303 plays slower, is more laid back and is easier to control than its similar-sized counterparts. Given the difference in both material and weight distribution, it is hard to say which is the dominant factor contributing to the different playfeel. The rims are more rounded (and consequently slightly thicker) than the stainless-steel Bowl Mini, so the yo-yo feels more comfortable in hand.
