7075 yoyos.

I don’t go out of my way for 7075 yoyos, but I seem to have an affinity for them anyhow, as long as they were designed for 7075 from the start.

Right off the top, some regular top players for me are OD Valor, C3 Krown, and Square Wheels Nomad. Pretty sure the Orbitron 5000 is also 7075 but I couldn’t find the spec in a quick search so maybe don’t add that to the list. These are all yoyos I enjoy “irrespective” of their 7075-ness.

You are able to machine thinner walls and distribute weight a bit differently with 7075. Maybe those design factors come through in my list of favourite yoyos at a subconscious level.

That would explain how my Orbitron survived my 24th birthday… I vaguely remembered bouncing it hard off the deck I was hanging out on several times throughout the night, including the head of a screw in the deck and the edge of a metal table once, yet I woke up to only a few barely noticeable flat spots. Was pleasantly relieved. I don’t have any other throws that are 7075 to compare it to though, so I may have just gotten lucky.

I don’t think anyone has listed the KYS Rapid yet, which is 7075 and stainless steel.

And 7075 Supernova was it a special edition run. Or was it a full run and is it easily available on bst?

I think the original Supernova was 7075, and the later versions were 6061.

Since Blake Freeman told me himself… I don’t think you need much more confirmation.

Most of the time, we see 7075 as shiny. This is not correct. It is more commonly shiny for one of two reasons:

1. It has more inherent “gleam” to it than 6061 so manufacturers use those natural properties to show off shiny ano jobs. It’s a choice they make.

2. It is supposedly harder to get a good blast on. Makes sense since it’s denser. You would have to have different media than you would use on 6061, and maybe whoever does their blast just don’t have knowledge or stock in the “right” media, so the manufacturer of origin takes a pass on blasting the yoyo.

But it will accept a blast just fine as long as you have the proper media. And the end result will be a matte finish just like on 6061.

Sweet! I wasn’t doubting really, just never heard that they were 7075. You know how when other throws are made from 7075 it’ll usually be stated in the description on which ever retailer you buy from? It doesn’t mention 7075 anywhere so that’s why I was surprised to read that. But, confirmation is now had. Thank you.

I guess 7075 is pretty popular sometimes we don’t relize.
