I’ve stumbled across a new age of yoyo ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/4/f/d/4fd6618e4eece1abf746bf9898b7c0281f84629e.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/b/4/4/b44f895a20f73794e0e9c1a8303bed280913f17d.jpeg) ---

This is a half swap of two different yo-yos. The first one is the WHiP and the Sage, the second is a Shutter and a Shutter Wide Angle. The weight distribution is… interesting. Definitely reccomend experimenting for yourself ---

I half swapped a popstar with a horizon a few years back. Very odd. ---

Interesting. A few weeks ago I was swapping bearings and whatever and when I threw something felt…weird…I had a 1/2 Sage 1/2 WHiP Frankenyo. I was afraid of messing something up so I put things together properly. ---

Yeah, I did this experiment a while back expecting it to be unplayable, because we were discussing weight differences on the sides of yoyos… but it turns out to be 100% totally playable and not even that weird, if you pick yoyos that aren’t too wildly different 🙃 I did the Dread G (80g, large) and Crucible (50g, small) for maximum effect here: > [@What is yo-yo vibe and how do I test for it?](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/what-is-yo-yo-vibe-and-how-do-i-test-for-it/291714/5): > > I put together the most extreme half swap I could… half Dread G (80g version), half Smashing Crucible (50g). Massive difference in shape, diameter, and weight, see for yourself rofl [image] Again… dead smooth on the string. It does list heavily to the side and it wants to turn because of the weight differential, but it’s perfectly vibe free. Seriously. I wouldn’t have believed it myself if I hadn’t tried it! I’m starting to wonder if the halves matter less than the internal symmetry on each… ---

Don’t know if a video exists but I read that a Duncan demonstrator in the 1950’s showed people how he could play with a wood with one side very, very, very large and one side normal because people with a lack of skills were claiming their yoyos were “unbalanced” which people still claim based on what I read in yoyo reviews in online stores. ---
