Though, the response mean you have to watch out for snagging! And thumb grinds hurt, haha But yeah, I far exceeds my expectations! But I do wonder why the manufacturer isn’t see the one tiny detail that could have made the yoyo a trillion times better, and possibly saved money… Making the hub and rim connected… Mines starting to untwist during play, haha ---

It worked great! I tried to get them into the little lip, but they were hard to get in and they work just the same anyway. With the extra weight i can do rewind to skin the gerbil to buddhas revenge and still bind. I swear it spins longer than my ONE. ---

It trumps your copper wire becuase you can’t usually get copper wire at the dollar store, and its definitely not as cheap as paperclips. ---

After playing with it for a while I decided to move to a DM2! Whoever the guy was that said this is going to take away from yoyo manufacturers understand this yoyo made me go buy a better yoyo. And in fact, I bet it only costs pennies to make any of these yoyo’s for sale on this web site (CLYW i noticed is particularly expensive).

They cost like $1,500 each, so I think that it is not that bad. Take into account people need to survive by selling yoyos lol.

Prototyping would probably be the most expensive part of the process, but with CNC machines doing all the work, I’m really sure it isn’t that expensive to make a yoyo. I am however a firm believer of supply and demand and really don’t mind paying. Thats why I bought one 🙂 I will say that yo-yoing is wayyyy cooler than pinball, by far, and I def wouldn’t want to carry any of those around, plus I would really cry hard if it ever got a ding. ---

I agree, although playing pinball is really fun from time to time. Especially competing with friends. I only know cause my step father collects them. He now has 7 and he is getting another one next summer. But yoyoing is way better for a lot of reasons, so I think I will never switch to pinball lol. And you won’t ding it because you do not throw pinball machines around on a string :wink: lol [Previous page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/my-1-yoyo/61149.md?page=3) [Next page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/my-1-yoyo/61149.md?page=5)
