Rough schedule for the first part of this year:
Sliver - this month
Exia 3rd run - In production, hopefully ready by March
Spyglass - In production, hopefully ready by March
Various - signature yoyo prototypes - in the works. Waiting for latest revisions.
Contact - Thinking about making an update/variant, either 7075 or POM.
Regarding the Contact, both updates sound appealing to me, and I have draft CAD files ready to be cleaned up and sent for prototyping. I’m not certain what folks are looking for in a new Contact, either - in 7075 I think I’d want to push rim weight a bit, because getting the same weight distribution as the 6061 version seems kind of pointless to me. The POM version would similarly end up playing slightly lighter (while also being a bit larger), just on account of the material change. This shape really likes rim weight, so it sort of happens naturally.
For either version, the profile/shape/schmoove would stay as close to the original as possible.
- Contact 6061 - 3rd production run
- Contact 7075 - Bell sounds and rim weight increased
- Contact POM - The nifty plastic version
- No choice / not interested

Just wanted to drop by and say thanks for your videos on CAD. I was able to use your video as a guide to help me make a 3D model of my dream throw just so I can stare at it.

I’m very online, so I’ve been on Discord ever since it displaced Ventrilo & Teamspeak as the main way to chat with my friends while playing games. There’s an MK1 Discord server (run by a fan, for a while, now run by me) for just over two years now.
This is not a big discord user-wise, and it’s not trying to be everything at once. I mostly use it to post extra yoyo renders and ideas, talk about yoyo design stuff, etc. Anyhow, stop by and say hi!

Awesome! I got back into the yo-yo scene after these were pretty much gone, so I’ve never had the pleasure of throwing one. I’m looking forward to rectifying that

Totally coming in late to the party on this one, @MarkD, but I would 100% snag a POM Contact. Did you decide to move forward with this idea?
