My solution is to keep the run very small - 30 yoyos, all one colour. If they sell out easily enough, I may be onto something. ---

Put me down for one, I love heavy yoyos, and I’ve really enjoyed every yoyo of yours that I’ve tried. I want to experience your take on a metal unresponsive. ---

This one is simply weighty power. It moves relatively fast, too. I also like the feel, but my tastes differ to the norm. ---

Josh Yee did [a video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S33UN3wz_Ho) showing that heavy doesn’t mean slow with the Senpai (also around 70g). …and at least here, I think the little SW logo is all the marketing you’ll need. ---

Hi Glen, for what it’s worth and if you’re interested I can give you my opinion, is the thread title Spinnworty CNC? my answer is absolutely yes! but on the condition that you have something new and personal to say, exactly as you have shown you can do to date with your hand-turned yoyos. What you had produced now I consider it an initial test… because honestly I don’t find anything particularly interesting to push me to get one. This is not to discourage you or because I don’t believe in your potential, but intentionally because over the past 15 years I have seen initiatives like this set off more than once, with great initial support but which then, essentially, “had nothing new to say” and in a short time or at most in the medium term they are finished there. Good luck! :wink: ---

> [@persson](#): > > Spinnworty CNC? my answer is absolutely yes! but on the condition that you have something new and personal to say When it comes to metal CNC yoyos, virtually no-one has anything significantly new to say. That’s why many boutique yoyos come with an excessive amount of artwork or ‘goodies’ or something thats just plain weird to be different. If not boutique, they bring out new finishes, release itinerations of old yoyos or make the next signature bimetal or titanium. There is absolutely nothing wrong with any of this, it’s just the way things are now. I don’t have anything new to say in metal either, which is exactly why I haven’t bothered to make a CNC run up until now. All I’m trying to do is release what I can’t find easily in yoyo stores; a clean, standard spec yoyo at around 70g. I want a durable, powerful yoyo that I will reach for very regularly. That is what I had made. > [@persson](#): > > honestly I don’t find anything particularly interesting to push me to get one. I’m appealing to buyers who want performance heavyweights.

I’m not banking everything on my CNC efforts. If the small number of yoyos I intend to get machined have a very mediocre response, then I can personally hand make other ones. ---

There is absolutely nothing wrong with any of this, it’s just the way things are now. I, on the other hand, find it very sad and very often even in bad taste, this is the reason why some Brands that hinge exclusively on these aspects, even with “premium” products, will never have my favor as a buyer. > [@anon5341354](#): > > All I’m trying to do is release what I can’t find easily in yoyo stores; a clean, standard spec yoyo at around 70g.

If that’s not you then walk on by if you like. yes, thanks for the advice, I will continue to walk but not because these are roads that don’t interest me, on the contrary, I am the happy owner of a Dreadnought G that I will never get rid of… and I’ve known for several years how one behaves yoyo very similar, both in shape and size, to the Sleipnir with a weight of 70 gr, here it is, again made in China, paid about $25 in the Shop… [![Imgur](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/c/0/e/c0e934602bfbf39355d1f9fa47460ad15a8e7577.jpeg "Copy 6061 Yoyorecreation Sleipnir 70 gr. - "Orange Sunset" custom blasting and...") ](https://www.flickr.com/photos/95224858@N08/51750670537/) and of these they sold in wagons at the time… that’s why I find the yoyo you had made quite useless. But it will be just my opinion and for what it’s worth, I wrote it to you in the introduction to the previous post. A greeting 👋 ---

I get the thought your trying to get to bud but honestly I would rather support a small business or someone who takes more pride and passion in what they are doing vs some mass produced carbon copy of everything else With that said yeah a cnc metal yoyo isn’t going to say anything new cause there are plenty of them out there. However finding a gap in what’s available today and filling that gap is worth while and how am entrepreneur should operate. Yoyo as a market is already a pretty small niche. As great of a community there is it is small and boutique or small yoyo shops have to be specific on what they create and why. Heck in the topic of re releasing designs there is a point it’s annoying but many of these small batch become collector items that sit on a shelf collecting dust or get traded around in BST groups over and over. It is fantastic when a yo-yo I have to dig through eBay and marketplace BST sites for hours to find becomes commercially available again. All in all I would say if Glen has a thing he wants to make that fills a gap in what’s available then why not throw it out there and see what sticks in some small batches. Personally I wish I had the funds right now to throw at this but I have a specific list of throws I’m interested in snd a heavy metal yoyo isn’t on that list today. The scale is going to come at a premium vs something mass produced but honestly that’s not a concern for those heavily invested in the hobby. The unique stand out vs the dozens of similar throws in a collection. ---

Spinworth Glen is a cross between and artist and an engineer. He produces exceptional products that appeal to the yoyo community. I am not in a position to purchase this throw but I hope to purchase some of collectable works in the future. ---

> [@persson](#): > > that’s why I find the yoyo you had made quite useless My yoyo is not like the Sleipnir or the Dreadnaught G. Useless is also a ridiculous word to use to descibe my yoyo. I think people think that my yoyo must be like the Sleipnir because I’m calling it Slapnir. I’ll have to change the name. ---

Most metal yoyo’s look nearly identical. There’s only so many shapes you can make the thing before it’s hard to continue classifying it as a yoyo. ---

The Sleipnir is way slimmer, has no inverse curve and a flat face. ![sleipnir13a_1_5a830642-3a57-46ff-83db-a9a4d456c563_1024x](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/b/1/c/b1ca8d826310c15d1b4fde36c1c51701efb9b4d0.jpeg) ![yoyorecreation-Sleipnir-Take-That-Sleipnir-Professional-Yoyo-Made-in-China-Edition-Free-Shipping.jpg_Q90.jpg_](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/9/8/a/98a8951dc24ad307fb4f5c5e429b0aedb7eb5dbb.webp) ---

I mean there certainly are some differences, I’m not contending it’s a an exact copy. You yourself named it “Slapnir” which means you must have seen the similarity, right? ---

No thats not the reason. I just thought Slapnir was a fun name. I wasnt thinking about the Sleipnir at all when I designrd this yoyo. I gurantee it plays nothing like it either. ---
