Congratulations, I’ve been waiting for a post like this. May I see a picture of the cup?

3

Not until its fully finished. We are havimg to tweak a few things.

4

Ah, I see

5

But it will be something no one has ever done before.

6

That’s good. I like it when someone does something original.

7

What metal is it made out of?

8

6061

Looks good. From the picture it looks wide, can you share the width, or is that still being tweaked? Like Zorro said, originality is always good to see. I’m following this with great interest

10

Width is 45 mm diameter is 56.61 mm

11

I can see that, I love that shape

12

I love the shape too… its meant to be comfortable and fun to throw… i feel i acheives it with style. Also because this is a larger yoyo it is a bit heavy… ill get final weight out by the end of this week.

13

Very cool, congrats!!

14

That really make me curious, especially about the weight distribution.

15

The weight distribution was tricky but i worked with a friend who has a physics major and we were able to get it worked out pretty well…

16

i added more pictures on the original post…

enjoy!

(that’s all your getting for now zorro)

17

hmm, bsp axle style husbtacks? have to guess haha.

18

Close colby, but to have hubstacks would cause legal issues…

19

Well I was picturing somethig without bearings, only made that guess cause doc pop had a similar idea with the bsp and thats the first thing I thought of when I saw that bearing seat.
very excited now to see what it really is!

20

Give me two weeks and ill have quite a bit more to say about the yoyo and if ive made up my mind on what to do…
