I’m trying to design a speed yoyo and was wondering if you have any favorite speed yo-yos and why you like them over others so that I can maybe design a yoyo that checks all the boxes. ---

303 or 304 stainless steel My favourite quick yoyo is the legendary Terrarian but a good contender is the wild adrenaline. Legendary Terrarian plays quick due to its insane light weight and balanced weight distribution. It’s hard to make a bi metal that can stop on a dime and move like a mono metal ---

Now that’s a cool yoyo. Do you know what about the bimetals it is that makes it unwieldily? ---

Bi metals are just less snappy and it’s generally harder to change their direction on a dime. Rim weighting adds more power to their spin but all that force on the rims makes it feel heavier on the string. Mono metals have a balanced weight distribution most of the time due to being the same material all over. This means that the weight throughout the body of the yoyo from the center of the cup to the rims are all balanced. This allows for quick snappy transitions, especially when the yoyo is a light weight (\<62g from what I’ve played) _If my understanding is wrong please someone correct me!_ ---
