There was an old yoyo done like this, I think I even tried it ages ago, I do not remember the brand, not a great one in aesthetic and playing honestly but again I speak about ages ago! Edit: Found it! > **[Roo-Yo SV](https://yoyo.fandom.com/wiki/Roo-Yo_SV)** > > The SV is a yo-yo produced by Roo-Yo, released in 2005. It is a smaller version of the Roo-Yo, with a slimmer Butterfly shape, but still retains the distinctive aerodynamic golf ball-like dimples. It also features an authentic KonKave C-bearing from... ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/2/5/4/254b882833419c7aec3f6208a09809feb26befe6.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/1/b/1/1b1418ad48bf9035d2ce156d30114b188e77a0d5.png) ---

yeah its quite a cool concept, amazing it got made, the response system looks quite unique too? I’ve never seen what looks like 4 individual pieces of rubber like that ---

In Italy we had a lot of experiments with the return system (this yoyo is italian), look the one from Rollout if you are curious, I think we are some of the first to use the Arexons silicone back then. The response system is basically 4 little o-rings in the hole, as said I played it and look at it in real life. The yoyo played far from good also for that time, this was more a game between friends ---

yeah that would look cool! “hexagons are the bestagons” if it was dimples a plastic responsive might feel nice in the hand with those I wouldn’t mind some laser engravings based on hexagons ---
