Ti is known for being lightweight relative to its strength. While they will be heavier than aluminum, they will still be much lighter than their brass counterparts. And since the brass SEs sell out all the time, I don’t think they will have much of a problem offloading these.

Lol I’m not saying that they won’t sell out. I just think the reason these haven’t been previously made is that you’re not getting any of the benefits of titanium and the weight range from aluminum UL to the heaviest brass (energy domes?) is pretty well covered anyways.

Ya ya ya hear me out… all that engineering stuff is neat. They just are and look really cool.

That is all I need to justify my feelings to get them all.

When are they expected to drop? Anybody know?

you should probably use a thick grease or anti seize with titanium where there SE surfaces will meet the yoyo halves.

The gap width is a little worrying.

Not that 4.27mm is a bad gap width, but one that narrow is best suited to heavier throws around the 67g+ area. Too small a gap in lighter throws causes them to feel a little unweildy and gives less than optimal binds.

Onedrop know what they are doing though, you don’t need me to assure you of that.

I honestly had the same thought about the gap width… interested to see how it plays. I’m still overly hyped for this new release, though 😁
