Asora test type 2 is straight up amazing. And it is very very fun. I highly agree with what u said in the blog the more u play it the funner it gets. If I can make a suggestion if fun is ur primary objective for the v.3 as well? I would suggest going one mm higher for the diameter. From 57 to 58. Honestly the one I say to myself everytime I throw is that I wish it was just a tiny bit bigger. Big organic yo-yos are fun. And asora fills a gap quite nicely slightly over sized and slightly slimish. I think if it was 58 thatās just perfect where itās not too much bigger than normal full size and not quite super over sized just barely oversized. But if it was 58 it would be game over. Fun factor x100. I think about how much fun it is to throw my wizard and the reason I constantly reach for it is nice oversized organic feels just amazing bouncing off the string. And the asora gives me that same feeling but itās awesome cuz itās different with the slimmer design but just lacking that 1mm would set it over the top. Anyway weāll done you did awesome I canāt wait for version 3 and for the record asora is definitely considered a favorite
Great read, Iām eagerly awaiting v3.
Thank you so much Mikie!
Right now Asora is 57.5mm, the planned reduction is taking .30mm off, so 57.2mm
I think that I actually would like the throw to be larger, but Iām working within so many constraints that balancing them all is just not possible to have it all. Ideally, this throw would be 59-60mm if I could live in a perfect world.
The issue with all of that is where the weight goes when you go up in diameter, and where I want the weight to go based on how I want Asora to perform. Going up in diameter means that at the same weight, Asora would likely become more unstable - though this would also increase that sort of floaty or light feel to the throw. Give and take 
The biggest problem I face is having the throw be at 61g~ so that with caps, itās at 66g~ With Aluminum caps it hits 74g~.
I donāt want the throw to be too heavy with caps. I really want it to be fun with any setup you choose and why Iām restricted to the current weight I have set. Bigger diameter either means more weight to replace the weight I lose from going smaller, or the same weight and less performance. If I pushed the diameter up I would be forced to make the throw heavier to achieve the performance I want.
Though, all that being said. I do want to do a small run of 60mm version Asoraās in the future. I fully agree with you on a larger organic throw being really fun, itās just that for my current goal I have to kind of balance all of these design queues along with the performance and feel of the yoyo. After that, I can kind of mess around, design a bimetal Asora, and maybe a hybrid or something, idk really, anything is possible.
Thank you!
Thanks Tempura, Iāll keep the thread updated!
Oh yeah I definitely get it. I havenāt designed a Yoyo yet so things like donāt dawn on me automatically yet. But it makes total sense. If you decide on the 60mm short run count me in for the presale! Iāll be lined up for asora 3 regardless as well
Oh baby!!! I love my type 2! It is easily in my top 5. But when I received it, my initial thoughts were:
- I wish it was a teensy bit smaller in diameter
- I wish it had a schmoove
I am beyond stoked for t-3! Maybe I missed it when reading the blog post, is there a release date yet?
This is seriously beautiful!!
Appreciate it Mikie! Thank you.
No release date yet, just wanted to give everyone an idea of what changes I made and hear out any suggestions or opinions on the design from people who played it. Iām still very much open to hearing any opinions from people and implementing those suggestions if they help Asoraās design goal. Planning to get them ordered soon though.
Thank you Shawn
