I prefer the ease of pads, but silicone fits any pad recess and is customizable for height. Some people prefer it.

Here is mine, they are a little different. Those are some special caps on yours, @colinleland didn’t make many of those, and they would have probably been gifted.

When I got this from @gcoomans it needed some tuning, so I put in a 516 Maple axle to get snappy response with these relatively lower walls due to the size of the winged catch zone. Beautiful piece.

Just got this in the mail, good thing it’s Friday. Based on the color I think it’s a later wooden butterfly. Never seen another one in this color before. It’s in amazing shape. All in, I paid $21 😃 Probably won’t run across another find like this.

@Nic_from_Adelaide got to ask what cotton string did you send with your YoYo’s. I broke into the handful of them I have a they are fantastic. I need more

@Captrogers I made those, I’ll get some more sent your direction.
If you had a preference of the red, white, or naturals let me know. For apparently identical thread made to the same recipe they’re all a little bit different in play.
If you have old fashioned loopers that need burner string I’ve got a recipe I’m working on, they feel and look the same but shred in a day or two. Whereas the string I sent won’t shred, but the torsion gets annoying to control when the string hits full stretch

Ha that’s awesome. Yeah I pulled one if your string out and tossed it on my no jive and when I played it I was super impressed.
Natural would be fine. I would love some wood looper string too. I’ll message you and we can figure out specifics and payment. Definitely one of the best cotton string I’ve used to date s as bd totally get it that each plays unique kind of like wood.

Blueberry 🫐 got an upgrade recently. The machining on these is excellent. It fit in perfectly and also come out without a tool. The outer diameter spans almost all of the bearing well, so there is minimal gap.
Still getting used to the feel but I like it. It is very smooth since it eliminates pad rubbing while spinning. It does make the yo-yo slightly less responsive with a fraction less consistency since it takes a bit more wrapping around the axle before contacting the pads ( same with CT vs flat bearings).
Overall enjoying this so far, looking forward to putting one in my PLASM when I get the time to tinker some more.
Thanks for making these @jeduardo. I know I asked you ~ a year ago about helping me make plain bearing blanks and I’m glad that I didn’t follow through with those because these are really great. :+1:
