Tried to throw together a 7075 design last night and this is what I came up with. What do you guys think? 7075 aluminium Base weight- 65 g Width- 45.67 mm Diameter- 54.14 mm Thinnest wall thickness- 0.72 mm ---

Looks cool, can you show us the weight distribution? ---

Looks great, could think of any way to improve it, although the weight distribution could be tweaked. Would be a solid player. ---

I like the design, however, I can’t help but notice that just below the rims, the metal is cut really thin. ---

I don’t think you should ever use the lowest possible wall thickness. ---
