Let’s just say that I have some new raw material being shipped to me, a material that I have not worked with too much yet. Stay tuned…

Keeping with the same shape that I’ve been playing with for some time, I present this yo-yo design.

It looks similar to all the other stuff I’ve done, so what makes it special? It has been redesigned, reimagined, and recycled. The shape is really the only similarity.

There is a new SPR that replaces my old bearing seat and response. This addresses issues in bearing seat durability and play between the halves when tightened. This yo-yo feels like an aluminum yo-yo when you screw it together.

In terms of weight, this design features aluminum weight rings that fixes weight distribution issues and add to the aesthetics of this design.

I’ll close this post with a nice group shot that shows some of the wood I’ve been working with lately. Padauk is on the left and Mahogany is on the right.
