I’ve turned away Space Cowboys and SS Genesises because I prefer single metal yoyos, even after having owned both.
I haven’t tried the holy grail bimetals, but I will always buy a single metal more willingly than I would drop the value of 2 yoyos on a single one.
MORE ON TOPIC
I played the Ti Dream, and it was the best performing yoyo I’ve tried. It played stupid light, but retained all of the things I love in a single metal yoyo. Way too expensive to become the standard metal, but way too good to just be a gimmick IMO.
The Al Dream was great, but it didn’t have the lightness I loved in the Ti, I think that’s the main advantage for me.

Question is, could titanium become the new benchmark?

Or could the next OD Benchmark be titanium?

Here is an idea that I thought of a long time ago. A single metal yoyo with 2 pieces per half. I think that will bring the price up but it is worth a try. Also, I would like to see more plastic/hybrid yoyos play the same, if not better, than metals. Just a question though, would brass bi metals be more expensive than ss bi metals (like machining cost not material)?

_cocks eyebrow_ Could the same process that allows budget yoyos like the Benchmark to be produced (less cuts?) be applied to create a “budget Ti?”

Titanium YoYo will shure become a steady market member from now on and will hold it´s place alongside with Plastics, Al, Al/Ti. Just remember the Delrin hype few years ago. now we have many great plastic/delrin yoyos to choose from. TI won´t replace anything, but it is definitely here to stay for good this time.

Unlikely, unless we find a source of free energy to create replicators.

I think Alumigo hard alloy would be good. It can have an even better weight distribution than titanium and it’s less expensive.
