I have to be honest, I am not a fan of this type of engravings but this is just personal taste. Have the say that the yoyo looks absolutely insane, would love to try it! ---

Still testing it and all, Its pretty alright at 1a but I’d need to get people who are far better than I am to try it. Its actually pretty good for 5A which was the main intention all along ---

And we have another update I’ve had a multitude of people test the yo-yo out And so far the consensus has been very positive! Two people have purchased one of the protos (Gotta thank Eric Tranton and Kevin Nicholas) Changes I want to make: One thing I want to change is the diameter, I feel like the yo-yo would perform a little better if the diameter was increased to 57mm Despite the yo-yo being dead smooth even when dinged and making contact with the floor I’m afraid of the axle failing so I may increase the axle length to 12mm+ aswell Anywho I’m excited to see where this goes ---

I got to try this yoyo for a few days, super super enjoyable. @chaosgow is a wizard per usual. It’s got a light presence on the string and moves very elegantly while remaining surprisingly stable for a yoyo of this width. Super far out of my preference range as I like yoyos… 10mm thinner in width, but I was really impressed by how fun I found this one. ---
