I have debated long and hard about this and I think it is time I announced it.

This was a project I decided to start a year or so ago but it only became serious recently. I had many designs all drawn out but no resources to make it. Then someone sponsored this project and I decided to finally make prototypes of one of my designs. The prototypes turnes out pretty good and I was pretty impresed with myself but not completely satisfied with it so there probably be more prototypes coming. Originally, I planned to start a company but, as I am still a student, I decided to delay that and work on a smaller scaled project- “Ink”.

I did not sell any of my prototypes yet although I might consider selling them online later. I will be going to the DFW Open and selling them there though. I will posting pictures soon. Looking forward to hearing everyone’s feed back and thanks for reading.

Some people though it felt quite heavy while some thought it was light and fast on the string. Personally, the 7075 version is a beast. A definite change that needs to be made is the rims though as it can draw blood. However, I am designing this with my brother in mind and his style tends to lean towards the “Iori Yamaki” style so I am considering shaving off a few grams and readjusting the weight distribution.

Fast and stable then? sounds like fun.

Good luck.

Post more pictures, and maybe a video of your brother.

Doesn’t that mean “horse” in mandrin?
