Im quite sure plastics and bi-materials are more susceptible to internal structural damage, but what about solid metals especially 7075? #behindthebackfortheding meh just gonna use my beat ironyjp. dont think wood flooring can do more damage than another yoyo in 3a lol derp ---

Yes. 6061 dings very easily. Although my 7075 Shu-Ta has hit the floor multiple times, and there’s no damage on it. As for a titanium, like my Ricochet, you’ll have an easier time breaking the floor. 😃 ---

Wood flooring is more forgiving than most other surfaces. ---

> [@Coffelt](#): > > Wood flooring is more forgiving than most other surfaces. Agreed. Also, if it’s really nice wood floor, I would still be extra careful not to hit the floor and damage the actual wood… That can be real expensive to get fixed! ---

Hey guys, a bit off topic but I smacked my cyborg off my basement floor yesterday like 10 times, and a few of them were like “wrath of god” collisions but there is only 2 exposed dings and 1 long flat spot but it is made of 6061. The yyf page says the 6061 handled hits better than 7075 (maybe 3a hits??). Iwas actually shocked when i inspected it to find no damage after almost every hit. ---

More than likely you’ll put a ding in the floor rather than the yoyo, though there is the possibility of damaging the axle or bearing seat due to the impact. ---

My house is almost entirely wood flooring. Usually the flooring gets scuffed up before the yoyo does. I’ve hit the floor many times, 6061 or 7075 99% of the time survives when the wood doesn’t. ---

I have dinged a yoyo over a carpet. Thin carpet, yes. But carpet nonetheless. I have no doubt that a wood floor could cause a ding. ---
