I've purchased dozens of Chetkis from various makers but I've never been so pleased as I was when I began playing with the BALTO Chetki from MellowBlock. I got some mellow blocks a few months back but wasn't into Chetki until quite recently and I was lucky enough to snag one of the final pieces from this drop. I AM BLOWN AWAY but not just the quality of this item, but by the incredibly clever design. The ability to change tension on-the-go has completely spoiled me for any other chetki. Bracelet mode, raindrop mode, beads counting mode, high/low slack mode....this one device does IT ALL. On top of this, the finish and color is divine and smooth to the touch while having phenomenal grip for high-momentum play. I've in just a few days of ownership, I've completely taken my Chetki skill to a whole new level, thanks to these awesome paddles for grip. Juat the whole thing. I'm ordering another one immediately!! Thank you so much, MellowBlock! You took my love of a hobby and turned it into a PASSION and I don't think there's any better endorsement of a fidget/skill toy.
