Well, and the Aesthetic… It just looks sublime!

I am happy to share my opinion about Aspen.

The yo-yo does not feel like a typical throw, many of which are on the market.  
It has its own unique feel.

Firstly, it is the design.  
At the time of Aspen’s appearance, I can remember only a few yo-yos with caps that were quite famous or popular (Motif, Anima, etc). But these are familiar yo-yos to which caps were added. Aspen’s rings with caps are a single element, which is something new. And that’s a titanium!

Secondly, it is the sound.  
The presence of caps on the yo-yo slightly changes the sensations of the sound. This is primarily affected by what happens inside the closed bowl. Aspen sounds really different, considering that the rings are made of titanium, which also leaves its mark on the sound. It becomes higher, and due to the design of the closed bowl, it is also more voluminous. I like the Aspen sound, but I know a few people who don’t like the fact that it’s so loud. If the bearing is even a little noisy, the yo-yo will amplify that sound. Even though the Aspen initially has an excellent quiet bearing, the sound is still quite loud.

Third - the feel.  
I didn’t have any particular expectations from the yo-yo. The only thing I was afraid of was that it was too heavy. I like heavy yo-yos, but even they sometimes scare me if there is a chance of flying somewhere in the face or my hands are just tired. But I was pleasantly surprised since the weight of the Aspen does not feel heavier than what I am used to playing with. At the same time, thanks to how the weight is moved to the edges, even at low speeds, the yo-yo still holds one line stably and does not fall out of the flow.

In conclusion, Max said on one of the streams that Aspen helps “reset” impressions from other yo-yos. And this very well describes how Aspen feels over long play distances over several days or weeks. After that, even familiar mono-metals seem like something new.

I’m glad I bought this yo-yo for my collection. It often falls into my hands to play, more often than many of the other ones I bought.

Hate that there aren’t any engraved editions left - those engravings look very high quality. Still a tempting price on what sounds like a great throw.

# Introducing our first monometal: **Forma**

Forma came to be due to a conversation with @fradiger and our shared love for mid-school throws. We were reminiscing about mid-school and modern designs and got talking about blending a few designs into something different:

- CLYW Chief
- Ikimono Tomo
- OneDrop Cascade
- YYR x OneDrop SYFO

A few messages later, Frad dropped this photo with the following quote:

> “Theres a good yoyo in there, _somewhere_, because i like all these yoyos.”

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/3/e/8/3e87e5216dd3c2129031419d7377f7e3e716dd19.jpeg)

The first concept would feature a polycarbonate inner ring forming a double rim, paired with a TP x CLYW-inspired profile. However as the vision evolved—leaning more into the Cascade and SYFO influences—we scrapped it for a cleaner monometal approach that better fit the SYFO/Cascade direction: **MMP-01**

 ![initial idea with PC inner ring](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/e/6/7/e67138347b248ed7df4aa058eb75e72d2d7a1741.jpeg)

 ![MMP-01 v1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/4/f/2/4f2ea4710394fcbc19844c0f1b2e4683951bdc95.jpeg) ![MMP-01 v1 Cup](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/2/7/e/27e2225d265dcdbe54a624a6431bfbe7b05cb44c.jpeg)

MMP-01 final renders prior to prototyping:

 ![MMP-01 Final](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/0/3/4/03472c76b6e556a2031aa7539f55f8033cfc389c.jpeg) ![MMP-01 Final CAD](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/2/e/a/2ea2f44b4dd79e6bc903ea8e635ad6f6a5e90349.jpeg)  
 ![MMP-01 prototype](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/d/c/e/dcebb0c01d3a7116850e59d041e3afa572461733.jpeg)

Sadly MMP-01 wasn’t it though. It couldn’t handle impacts and vibed slightly from factory, so we went back to the drawing board. Enter **MMP-02** , later named _Forma_.

 ![Screenshot 2024-10-13 003543](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/e/5/7/e57c0d2f5fd601575d6c92204f09d640f2ff92c1.jpeg) ![Lotaxi Machined 6061 Prototype](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/a/2/9/a29cfc7995abc6f0ecddd48223b4d2dac348677e.jpeg)

Forma went through three rounds of prototyping across three different shops: one in the U.S. (@Lotaxi), one at FPM, and one at TopYo. Around that time, there was a lot of behind-the-scenes chatter about inconsistent lead times, machining quality, and communication issues with OEMs. It felt like the right moment to test the waters and get a firsthand look at how each shop handled the process.

Although we would go on to prototype in both 7068 and 6061, the 6061 version just felt right—durable, comfortable, and locked into that midschool-inspired vibe that put _feel_ first. Let’s be real—this wouldn’t be an Edition yo-yo if it didn’t still pack performance as a mainstay trait.

The result?

Forma is about execution—pacing your tricks, constructing with intention, and feeling the flow in your play. It packs power so that it doesn’t demand perfection, but it shines when your execution is clean and your transitions are thoughtful.

I love the way the final version came out when I saw it a couple months ago. They did a super good job. Looking at grabbing myself one of the blue ones if I can.
