Me, when Chappell says he’s already working on the Potoo:

So this proto was not the best, but after a while of studying it…i think i fixed the issue it was having.
The rim weight was too far to the outer rims and it was scooped out to much near the mid-mass, while playable and good, it wasn’t stable enough and could get thrown off-kilter relatively easily and did not demand the spin power I wanted.
The next prototype/ mock up moves the weight closer towards the mid section, and redirect the design for a D-bearing.
Its almost there…going to get it right…

So as i did with the Corvus, I want each colorway to have relation to the bird, so the thematic im building is something like this
Silver and Red - winter
Silver and brown acid - summer
Green / yellow - leafs
purple, pink and silver - berries!
Im totally all ears for other ideas too!

Very much worth the design revision, fixed the instability issues, increased this bad boys power, and changed to a D bearing.
A production release is coming soon!
Sneak peak: This Ice Blue preproduction color will be in the Christmas Charity raffle, stay tuned!
All the love,

Very excited to see the changes! Is the yoyo the same weight, but the weight is redistributed to the rims? Can you tell the differences visually between proto 1 and proto 2?

D bearing! My wish has come true.

Its the same weight with the area of mass adjusted to the mid section rather than on the very edge. That minor change helped a great deal with stability, no more vibing off of a poopy throw (which im sure @AudreySickburn could tell ya from the first proto 
)
The only real visual difference is the inner cup/ lip placement went further in, which imo is a lot cleaner presenting.

Yes speaking as someone with very unclean throws and a proto I struggled at times lol. I’m really excited that was resolved

If you’re still thinking of colorways - a clear w/ blue splash would be dope, and the name? Birdbath 
Can’t wait to see this bad boy take flight!
