In the process, they created maybe the tamest and least extreme titanium design we’ve ever seen…and in my opinion, sort of defeated the purpose of making a yoyo in titanium at all. Those crazy designs are why people cared, and why manufacturers bothered, not because there’s something appealing about titanium as a metal.

I agree that those who care about the design are in the minority. This was marketed to the “majority.” I would agree with Stookie in one place, that the Ricochet changed the idea of what having a titanium meant previously. But, where we differ, is that I think that’s a good thing. Why should the well to do only have titaniums? Or, those who will make the ultimate sacrifice to obtain one. Why can’t your regular low income person, save up and enjoy a throw that they can bounce off the ground or spark without creating so much damage. Why is sparking for the well to do, or those willing to spend $300 to $500? I like the idea of that being turned on it’s head. This was a great release to the masses, shiniest ever, number engraved, extras included, durable and a fantastic playing yo-yo too. So what if they thought outside the box with the Ricochet. Pushing the limits of titanium has been done before so…so what? The majority do not care.
