I can’t begin to tell you all how excited I am to finally change this thread! I finally got them! Trust me, this is a day that will never be forgotten. So here it is; the first moose prototype. Don’t even know where to begin. First off this yo-yo first time I threw it, surprised me on how light feeling and floaty it is @JWaugh yet still floaty. It glides along the string effortlessly and still has power behind it. The response is perfect for my liking, however this might not be true for all as I use very thicc string such as Ammo and plutonium. The combination of a 4.5mm gap along with the blue yyf pads with ammo string makes binds feel great. I would almost compare this yo-yo to something of the likes of the shutter in terms of the floaty feel. It is still stable enough for me to pull my long combos. Fairly good at rejections as the raw finish give me for a stickier area for the string to grasp onto. It is very comfortable in hand, and I can only imagine the feel for someone with larger hands. My fingers are a little skinnier so it’s not as a snug fit as I might be for some of you guys. On the profile where you finger sits the yo-yo has more of a matte finish, unlike the polished cup and rims. Not sure why this is but that’s how I got them 🤷‍♂️. I would almost compare it to a chalkboard, but it is good for finger grinds. Although this yo-yo does have its cons. This yo-yo cannot fingerspin or thumb grid at all. I do want to give some more rim weight l, but that’s more of a personal preference as I play with yo-yos such as the edge beyond on the daily so I like more rim weight. Specs: 58mm diameter 45mm width 4.5mm gap 34.5 grams per half 12mm stainless steel axle YYF blue response pads Gold budda bearing Ammo String And of course some pics ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/3/d/5/3d55074eb83e3a8586cffbc828905a2f3ee824f2.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/8/9/c/89cc3c15f132d6d767e8b5921fafe4da46972572.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/0/6/6/0661c4f2e77e3c8a0b862646637a36cf0d5df2cf.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/f/8/e/f8eb4c4ab624888fee86caa50f892bb5f7968a9b.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/1/d/9/1d974d7a7c3a0d55bd997ff32e18fecc23689f33.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/8/9/b/89ba8c720cfdf313fd5005c489701a7d41af839d.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/0/9/f/09f686b136122dada8aa9bc9ca63a4d5f10e574a.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/4/2/d/42deabfa935635b448b0b7d91296b7c0c315dd37.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/8/5/f/85ffef9d12df9789ce2ea2d61eb6ae090079dad6.jpeg) ---

Thanks! First time I thought it up about a year ago the first thing I thought was just to do something no one else has done: triple rims like this. Sorta fits my motto “break the mold” ---

It is and I plan to change it depending on the feel. But also it is big, so the weight is more distributed ---

To my experience this yoyo is: Pro: Very fast (Low CX) Nice in hand Able to take a lot string sections Cons: Extremely heavy on the string Low gyroscopic effect Low spin time But I could be wrong, please tell me if I’m right.
