Well, you could check to see if you can glue or something the Dark Magic rims to the SpeedMaker. That’s about all I can think of. ---

It could potentially allow for longer spins, but don’t think it’ll have some almighty spin times just because of that. As long as you have a good throw though, it’ll be great. Probably the only problem you’ll have would be if you get it not dead centered, which could cause a vibe. ---
