Infiltrate Ti / Glacial Puls
The flagship model of mowl Ambassador Eric Tran-Ton’s signature series, Infiltrate Ti, now arrives in a new colorway: Glacial Puls.
In addition to the Regular Logo edition, we are releasing a special limited model commemorating both the first anniversary of mowl Osaka and Eric’s visit to Japan.
Designed for long and demanding combos, the Infiltrate Ti offers exceptional power, extended spin time, and the stability required for dense technical tricks as well as the increasingly popular horizontal styles.
"Infiltrate Ti" mowl Osaka 1st Anniversary Edition / Glacial Puls
This anniversary edition reimagines the iconic mowl Osaka cube motif as a “key”—a symbol reconstructed to represent both unlockable potential and deeper immersion into the theme of infiltration.
Highlighted with precise color marking in gold and deep violet, the design expresses the idea of stacked cubes breaking, shifting, and forming new connections—a reflection of the path mowl has taken and the challenges that lie ahead.
Under the themes of light and shadow, duality, and infiltration, the artwork depicts a quiet key that opens the door between past and future.
The “Glacial Puls” finish combines a deep, crystalline aqua blue with the cold shimmer unique to titanium. The result is a colorway that feels both inorganic and alive—pulsing with energy while maintaining a sharp, dignified presence.
＜Development Story of the Infiltrate Ti＞
In spring 2023, during his visit to PNWR in the United States, Eric explored a wide range of new titanium yo-yos. Having returned to competitive yo-yoing, he realized how many titanium models had emerged in recent years.
Yet, despite their quality, none left a strong impression:
“They were all well-made, but none made me feel ‘wow.’”
This experience sparked his desire to create something truly exceptional—a titanium yo-yo unlike anything available.
＜Design Challenges & Update Goals＞
Eric’s primary request was centered around weight distribution.
Many titanium models he tested felt overly light and lacked strong spin power.
To address this, he aimed for a rim-weighted distribution similar in total weight to the 7075 Infiltrate.
The classic rounded shape of the 7075 Infiltrate also played a crucial role. While Eric personally prefers round profiles,
the width of the original model felt narrow by modern standards, making certain tricks more difficult despite excellent in-hand comfort.
For the update, he hoped to increase the width for improved modern performance.
＜Performance of Infiltrate Ti＞
Compared to the 7075 Infiltrate, the Infiltrate Ti retains a monometal-like overall weight while adopting a wider profile (+2mm). This ensures a larger and more forgiving catch zone—an essential feature for today’s advanced players.
Below is Eric’s own commentary on the final model:
“The Infiltrate Ti is everything I envision in a perfect yo-yo.
It is extremely powerful, and every throw delivers a solid, confident hit at the end of the string.
Throughout movement, I can clearly feel exactly which mount the yo-yo is sitting in.
The spin time is incredible—after completing a 30–45 second combo and binding, it returns with almost the same force as a fresh throw.
It’s one of the most stable yo-yos in my entire collection, capable of handling dense technical tricks as well as popular horizontal elements.”
＜Artwork Concept＞
With the removal of the thumb grind spot, a larger engraving area allowed the piano motif to be emphasized further, accompanied by a musical staff—expressing a deeper immersion into my artistic world.”
