If you’re going for a stable Yoyo, I think you should add a tiny bit more rim weight.👌 ---

You can add a lot of rim weight before a yoyo becomes bricky. If you want to keep those chief-esque rings in the cup, I don’t think any amount of rim weight will make it feel like a brick. If you’re that worried, make the hub area (behind the bearing) a bit thicker to add a bit of centerweight. ---

> [@Marm](#): > > Give it a go :joy: The cutaway looks like antlers! Also, I mocked it up in fusion and the rim weight is fine, thought you have a lot of room to add more if you wish. I used Zach lerner’s “rim weightedness” estimation process and it came to 54.1%, where the desirable range is 50-65%. 50% being unstable, 65% being super stable. ---

Floaty is a light, stable feel on the string, especially the feel when it hits the string. Lighter feeling yo-yos in general. The YYF Dogma is a bit floaty, the shutter not so much. Probably a ratio of width to diameter and rim weight among other factors. ---

The only CLWY I have is a Compass, which has a profile similar to your moose, but a very different cup. [Next page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/enough-rim-weight/295309.md?page=2)
