Looks great! I like the tiny undercut right before the response grooves.

Thanks. Itā€™s the little undercut with a big heart!

Itā€™s got the rims of a Skywalker, the inward curve of a Primo, the undercut of a Canvas, and the beefcaked bearings of a 4XL! Who would have thought that would work lol.

Iā€™m posting about this on yoyoskills what are the specs?

53mm diameter
42mm width
4.2mm gap
64g

Thanks Melford!

Also, could you put up the gap shot? Itā€™s on here, plus I just added it to the Facebook page. Thanks!

could you perhaps make it heavier, or are those the final specs?

Thatā€™s actually hefty, when you look at all those cuts and rims. I think thatā€™s a good weight, but that may be me.

It is a nice weight, but I think that maybe 66-67 won;d make it really awesome. especially with those double undercuts. :o

Bah humbug ā€¦I like that set weight of 64 ā€¦itā€™ll feel heavy trust me. It still looks smexy nonetheless, yomorrow!

A little sad to hear that The Answer is going on the backburner for now, but the AA7 looks neat as well. I like that youā€™re trying some unique ideas. Small-bearing beefcake? No other company would even try it.

First off, yomorrow is a genius and hilarious lol. With that being said letā€™s get to business. All three protos look pretty beast and are very original. His ideas for promotion are calculated and smart, not to mention the company name grabs your attention immediately. I would think from a business stand point, heā€™s taken all the right steps to starting a successful company.

Secondly, doing this on your own is nearly impossible but most wouldnā€™t admit that. He reached out to people known in this community and made it happen. I am willing to bet that every person reading this thread has wanted to create their own throw but it didnā€™t go anywhere beyond a drawing. The ambition all of this required deserves an applause in itself. Judging by all the posts thus far, it is clear that he is in it for the love of throwing. Not for profit.

I guess Iā€™m saying this because its good to see someone take a passion and turn into something more. With that being said, itā€™s on us now. As fellow throwers we need to support what he is doing(not that any of you arenā€™t) and help build it up. Even though my opinion probably doesnā€™t matter as much as some of the other members , youā€™ve got my co sign 110%. The originality and clear passion youā€™ve put into all of this is clear and I commend you on that bro. Good luck

With what was said above, yomorrow is indeed doing something neat, and at the same time, unique yet functional. Iā€™d say yomorrow has a lot of potential with slithering hippo. Heā€™s already proving his ideas are worth while. It is hard to be unique in design with yoyos these days. I need to save up so I can buy one!

Thanks Landon!

For those who didnā€™t hear, Landon did the CAD work on this yoyo and advised/consulted on it every step of the way. This project wouldnā€™t be possible without 3YO3!

Also, special thanks to Casey Schock of Custom Auto and Accessories for pimping my yoyos.

Redirecting... - we got a vid up with the emerald rings on, in addition to the ruby now. Go check it out!
