You really like the top deck? I’ve never tried one
But isn’t the point of a signature throw to be what the professional wants and thrives at? Like- here’s a yoyo shape I made a few prototypes and this is the one I destroy at…?
I’m all in when we finish up our projects!

I just wanted a sOMEThING Slasher in TiSS version.
When I asked/looked around for recommendations for my first One Drop, the Top Deck seemed to be regarded as their best. As I progress as a player, it continues to impress me with how good it is. It’s exactly what I want in a yoyo. No signature needed.

I had designed a crazy bell shaped yo-yo a while back. If I had the wherewithal to produce it I would tweak the design and throw a ton of weight towards the rims. Bimetal, then Ti. Blasted finish for grinds and vapor wave splashes.

What are some of your favorite yoyos?
For me if I had to design a signature throw, I would probably go with an small to midsized hybrid organic. Try to bring my love of old school yoyojams into a modern setting

I would want one made of brass so it produces a pleasing ring when inadvertently struck against a boney point on the body. Preferably a very loud pleasing ring to mask the burst of profanity that inevitably follows.
String gap would have to be wide enough to admit a crochet hook for undoing knots easily. Ideally several crochet hooks would be included in the packaging since they would get lost easily.
Also included in the packaging would be a color-coordinated mouth guard and some super dope elbow pads.

For performance, I would want to make an inexpensive monometal that combined design aspects of the Spin Dynamics Alter Ego and the Unprld recognition. I would keep the diameter somewhere between 55 and 56.5 and keep the width 45 to 47 mm wide. I would want it to have the stability and spin time of the recognition, with the maneuvarability, float and change of speed of the Alter Ego. I don’t know if that is possible but if it is it would be awesome.
Honestly it could end up looking like the Japan technology 2020 Mirage that I have shipping from Japan as we speak.
For fun, I would like a slightly undersized 52-54 mm diameter yoyo with at least 43 mm in diameter. With an interesting V,W,H typish shape with a lot of midweight but still maintained decent spin time and stability. It would need to be floaty as can be and super maneuverable.

You prefer grooved bearings?
Slimline stainless PV44. The pv44 is my favorite overall yo-yo for performance, feel, and looks. Slimlines have always been favorites of mine and I assume a stainless yo-yo would be stronger for less worrying about pocket carry. I’m sure titanium would be stronger but that’s too expensive.

Undersized (sub 50mm, not the usual 50-54mm range) H-shaped yoyo with outer bimetal rims for that stability and also rainbow rims!
Diameter 45mm, width 35mm and weight 50-55g.
