Keep at it.

Too bad you can’t tell how it will play from shape and computer drawings. Only real way to tell is to have them made up and play them.

I would see about knocking some weight off that 70 gram one, maybe at least one gram.

Your designs are very simple. That isn’t bad. Simple can be good.

22

Ill defiantly try lightening up the 70 gram one, i have kept the design simple so far to keep costs down if I decide to get them made, but that might change soon. Again thanks for the input!!

23

plannin to sell these?
i would try it

24

Which One?

Ill be adding the cross sections soon,
Also I am working on a more complex Design, any ideas.
Also What specs do you guys want for the next yoyo I design.

25

Is that a schmove like ring I see there?

Will be waiting for the cross section, I want to see the weight placement of this beast.

that has potential

34

More so than the other ones?
Thanks!

35

Yes, the shape is innovative and fits into many people’s likings.

36

cool!, so any other changes you would suggest? or should i save up and produce that as the proto?

37

Well, seeing as the hubs don’t do anything but look nice on this design, I would make them look nicer. I don’t really like that hub design much, no offense. Look at stuff like Werrd yoyos for inspiration. A lot of people just use spikes though. Look nice and you can do tricks with them.

Alright, working on the Hubs, but what tricks can you do with spikes?? I thought you could only do tricks (using hubs) with hub stacks? Please enlighten me.
thanks for the help and suggestions, I really appreciate it.

Search “matador.” It’s like using hubstacks but with spikes.
