AL7 doesn’t hold pigment as well and is known to wear off. However your trading off great ano for metal durability and stronger material able to shift weight more to the rims in material without risking the hub.
Al6 is weaker but holds pigment way better. It deforms easier on impacts and doesn’t machine as easily without sheering resulting in thicker hubs aka more center weight.
I don’t like this thread. It got very defensive and aggressive from multiple parties
@JEA86 is amazing, makes fantastic YoYo’s and is just a good guy, that’s my takeaway.
This is the takeaway. Also I learned a lot from this thread regarding AL. And the arguing was misunderstanding. Water under the bridge now. Mod could clean it up. That said I do have a lot of al7 throws that dont chip anno so it’s interesting how inconsistent it is
100% agreed, I thought some one was using photos from a girl who recently sold me this synaptic (it was him on his partners account on Facebook) but rather than just asking it was them but on a male account now i was trying to trip them up never occurred to me it was the same person, and besides that jer stepped in before I ever commented here, entirely unnecessary on my part, should of just asked if it was the same person as I felt there was potential scammer stuff happening when there wasn’t
Your heart was in the right place . This all could have been avoided had I not deleted my Facebook years ago when I was having an anxiety attack about cyber security and stuff . Never bothered making another didnt need it
Yours as well. Did you get the synaptic yet? If so where does it rank in your motion lineup? I only had the two which I didn’t throw long because I didn’t wanna mess em up. Liked both but I think the synaptic was
I mean could be they just happened to be in heavy rotation while you were doing certain kinds of tricks. (I Get into phases of specific types of tricks) also splashes fade easier than solids and some pigments just hold better . I don’t know the science to it but what I’ve observed
I had just gotten them was the thing. Under 20 minutes of playtime or so. If I had been grinding em hard for a while I guess I wouldn’t have been sad about it. Either way things have been learned
I wacked my Baryon yoyo into the ground before and dropped some of them and never dented them. Perks of thick aluminum.walls. I get the best of both worlds <3
I’m late to the party but I have an unrelated comment about a related issue. I’ve owned a lot of yoyo’s over the years and 2 of them had some anodizing rub off during cleaning with Buff wax from monkey finger. A Smashing Yoyos about 8 years ago and a OneDrop Crucible a few weeks ago. Both are excellent yoyos and of the highest quality but it happened. I sold the smashing long ago. I have no intention of selling the crucible. When I rubbed the buff into the yoyo some of the color rubbed off onto the microfiber cloth. The smashing was worse than the crucible. Color completely disappeared onto the cloth and was left with areas of raw aluminum. The OneDrop crucible just left some purple on the cloth but there are no bald spots. It’s shinier than it was and the silver speckles are more prominent now. It’s the hindberry colorway. I’m curious if anyone else ever had this experience with buff. I’ve used it on 7068 7075 and 6061 and only those 2 yoyos have had this happen.

imo if you fingerspin your yoyo or thumbgrind with your fingernail this is gonna happen with a lot of 7000 series aluminum
In my experience it has only happened to a few yo-yos out of a couple hundred Ive owned and many are al7. Cannot confirm if all the ones that have had this happen are al7
