This really makes me want one of these. I’ll certainly be a buyer.
No. They are press fit. They want to discourage people tinkering with it and taking it apart and causing degradation to the press fit.
What they are saying is they are going to do different models of the Rally, like Rally LS, Rally LX, Rally GT, Rally GP, etc
That’s really an ingenious idea, polycarb inject mold the body, and then fine tune the shape with machining. I’m curious if they played around with celcon before they decided on polycarb. Put me down for one of every color.
Well if it’s machined like metal and has Side-Effects, shouldn’t it play just like a metal?
With no vibe?
it dosnt have side effects.
I’m curious to why just the catch zone is machined. My guess is they are doing it so they can change the shape of the catch zone to make it play differently and keep the same cup but I have no idea wether or not that’s true
It has a hub system similar to side effect, but they are not swappable with side effects.
The catch zone could be machined for a variety of reasons but my guess would be for better finger grinds.
I had a chance to play one this weekend at MA States and it played very smooth. It was the smoothest plastic yoyo I had ever played. Mind you the version I played looked like it had a TON of play on it and it had a few marks too. Also, I played the lighter version. The finished product will be a bit heavier 66.5. I have all the confidence in the world in One Drop beeing able to product this yoyo dead smooth. Although if it is not and has a touch of vibe that would be totally fine as well. The YYJ Classsic has vibe and everyone (including myself) love it!!!

Cool!
I guess Paul can’t get his hands off of it…
Not bad, not bad.
Ok so I’m interested. Is the machining more or less so you can make it smooth because polycarbonate has vibe because of cool down warp? It makes sense anyway. I may pick one up via bst but I doubt if I will buy one any time soon.
Yep we can machine it to be concentric to the metal ring. It also makes for a finish that can grind - something not normally found in plastic. Third benefit is that we can change the shape to some degree. We might even do a version with Projection Profile.
I new it :
I can’t wait to get a Yeti AND a Rally.

I can echo this. The heavier version I have is also the smoothest plastic I’ve ever played. It’s got great stability and maneuverability for 1a and 5a, the spin time is on par with metals, and it handles string rejections awesomely. I’ve been very impressed with it all around and wouldn’t change a thing about it.
Yes! My thoughts exactly!
That would be cool.
