I’d love to see spiral satin on a production yoyo and maybe polished hubs. The different textures between catch zone and hubs is a cool look. Oxy and BrokenYoYos did this nicely with blast/polish in the past.

$90 is budget friendly, especially compared to most of the YYF and others being over 85 generally, and made in China, Whereas Landon is local, nationally speaking. That, and all of Landon’s throws are beast…I have played a few, so a metal from him would be awesome to buy/try. ---

Ok, here is my plan. Since this is a budget yoyo, why don’t we stick to a tight budget? I ,for one, would still buy it if: 1. It comes with no bearing;I have my own 2. It doesn’t need Ano, keep it raw to save cost. Maybe blasted. 3. No string, no problem So what are your thoughts? I know it’s a stupid idea, but please take it into consideration. ---

Clear. There are simply not enough clear anno yoyos out there. Or a classy solid black. Definitely a bead blast. Personally I don’t like when manufacturers release raw yoyos (with the exception of titanium). It just feels like the yoyo isn’t done. ---

I know it’s a stupid idea, but please take it into consideration. I can see what your thought process is on this but if you nix the string and the bearing you are essentially limiting this to players who already have a collection. This could be a first metal for some and without a bearing or string it would be a no go for those same people. As for the ano, a simple ano job is a must to keep the aluminum for corroding on its own. Now if you want to keep the ano costs low, do a clear ano to seal and protect without adding any color. I wouldn’t call your idea stupid. I would say it may be a good idea to offer it as an option for those budget conscious players who may already have a spare bearing and string. ---

I would say it may be a good idea to offer it as an option for those budget conscious players who may already have a spare bearing and string. I guess 3yo3 could sell it as a seperate option, just like you said. I for one, have the extra parts. I’m sure most other people spending 90 dollars on a yoyo also do. Clear ano sounds good to me. ---

I’d really like to see that. just the raw halves, maybe an axle. I can tell from experience, if he sold it through his website, it could get below 50 and he could make a profit. I’d be sort of satisfying to assemble the yoyo and set it up how you like from the start. ---

I think Having an option that is clear ano an maybe blasted could be nice to save some money. As far as bearing and string, I believe you can buy both in bulk for pretty cheap, so it wouldn’t save that much money, and also many people don’t have extra bearings an string lying around.
