Or you could just pop out the cage and balls from a broken 8 ball bearing, and you get a metal fixed axle sleeve… ---

This is a design that I’ve been playing with for some time. I first made it out of mahogany, which looked gorgeous, but that yo-yo was doomed because my axle inserts failed. After that setback, I decided I’d take the design to delrin to change things up. Specs: 56mm Diameter 44mm Width 4.0mm Gap 69g (CAD Estimate) ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/a/a/6/aa613e259206cc06caa3cd32a71db2946e532b79.jpeg) This is by far the best playing yo-yo I have made to date. The weight distribution is exactly what you would want it to be. It plays smooth even though I made a slight mistake on the bearing seat on one half. Hopefully, if I don’t make any mistakes on future models they might even play as smooth as current metal yo-yos. I’m exited to have gotten my production quality up to this point and I can’t put this yo-yo down. Now it just needs a name. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/a/a/2/aa2cf643aaf4363ccfb2e1626a5222f1adb33c0b.jpeg) I have also read all of your requests for grooved fixed axle sleeves. If everything goes as planned. I should have some for sale in this coming week. ---

I made some grooved axle sleeves and, while they take more work to make, they feel more like a traditional fixed axle. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/6/e/2/6e20c6b6622f37032ff908bfdd51c2ad6a1963c6.jpeg) …and guess what, [I have a few things for sale](http://yoyoexpert.com/forums/index.php/topic,51680.0.html). > [@A\_Soviet\_Locust](#): > > Would you accept trades on that beautiful delrin throw?

I’ve had this yo-yo sitting on my desk for a couple of weeks now, but with lots of things going on I am just now getting around to posting about it. [http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8339/8242058773\_bc9a5ef6a5\_z.jpg](http://www.flickr.com/photos/40551944@N04/8242058773/sizes/k/in/photostream/) Material: Mahogany Diameter 55.6mm Width: 44mm Gap: 4mm Weight: 66-68g (CAD estimate) The solid body brings the weight up to a playable level, but it has a few issues. A large portion of it is center weight, which means that it does not increase angular momentum and stability as much as rim weight does. Obviously, this means that it sleeps a little shorter than similarly weighted yo-yos. It also introduced a curious issue that I had not considered before. This yo-yo is fickle about how you throw it. On a good throw it plays smoothly without any issue. On a bad throw it has an ever increasing wobble. [http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8210/8242059281\_fa081413f9\_z.jpg](http://www.flickr.com/photos/40551944@N04/8242059281/sizes/k/in/photostream/) This development process has definitely been an interesting journey so far. I am currently working on fixing the final issues that I am having. To do that, 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… ---

> [@Yummy](#): > > 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. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/1/c/c/1cc8e77541b7e148eb3e83df698d543c639fb0fa.jpeg) 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. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/e/c/f/ecf2af6ae536ff13eceab12b853d77c69e65f823.jpeg) In terms of weight, this design features aluminum weight rings that fixes weight distribution issues and add to the aesthetics of this design. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/8/0/d/80d79a807d8c174578f449db801a30cacaf726c5.jpeg) I’ll close this post with a nice group shot that shows some of the wood I’ve been working with lately.
