That totally makes sense, especially when you compare the Shutter’s success, where there would be no way a Ti yoyo could recreate that, based on the price point of Ti. ---

> [@lytelvin](#): > > I created RSO to make yo-yos with an old school feel which I find has been lost in recent times, which is partly why I have been collaborating with older companies. I love to work with titanium because again I love the premium feel of the material and how it plays compared to aluminum - it’s something I realized time and again as I collect Ti yo-yos over the years. Thanks for all the details on your experience with collecting and making Ti-alloy yoyos, your post should be a reference guide on the topic. I think the original discussion was born out of a bit of provocation about whether Ti was worth it or not with respect to performance characteristics. From what you say, Ti does offer nice advantages but it is more for a premium product, right? Well, that is considering the necessary price point on Ti yoyos. In any case, I’m happy with the choice of yoyos reflecting a whole range of inexpensive high-performing yoyos all the way up to expensive premium/luxury yoyos with special play and feel characteristics (as in Ti yoyos). I hope to get an RSO yoyo at some point, as I do like what you are doing with respect to high quality standards but old school feel (I’m an unapologetic fan of organics :wink: ). ---

Dang man that is some real evil kind of decision there, it could be right out of one of those saw movies. Maybe my perspective is warped since I first got serious about yoyos in the mid 90s, around the time the first web browser was released. The yoyos sucked and my skills sucked. It was hard to improve your skills without youtube, instagram, etc, you had to shell out mad money for a vhs (dvds weren’t yet a thing). There wasn’t even a really good trick book available until the yonomicon was published. ---

As much as it pains me to freeze my yoyoing skill, the other option would effectively end my yoyo company, which is the most fun I’ve had in years. ---

I had almost exactly the same experience. Bought a Kuntosh 5000QV recently, threw it a few times with the standard flat bearing and was underwhelmed. Swapped the bearing for a NSK concave and was blown away - it’s so good it almost feels like cheating! I also have a Legendary Terrarian on the way… and I bought the game to prepare myself 😆 ---

I’m gonna say no, just to make the choice harder. A random number generator would decide which yoyos would be gone and which ones you get to keep.
