It’s ok now I have a reason to support YYE and OneDrop again 🙂 and I might have a good start yoyo for someone learning to bind and it will be a reason for them not to worry about beating it up.

Ideas are stirring! And dang. ☹ I love that blue it is super sexy!!! 8) keep up the great work guys!

Could you please post pictures of the damage? I am curious to see what such a hit did to this yo-yo.

there’s not exactly damaged (there is a small flat spot) it hit extremely hard and it feels like the wieght shifted as now it sits in the half unevenly just enough to make it wobble very noticeably and vibrates fairly bad, it was extremely smooth prior to the huge crash and now its not. i ran my finger around the gap to the edge of the rim and the weight and there is a slight slope an a spot where the ring is not quite level on onside and thats the only thing i can reckon that would cause it to wobble and vibrate.

but i will try and get photos of the small flat spot and if i can picture where the gap between the weight and the rim edge is smaller then normal.

It kind of sounds like the weight ring is dislodged.

yeah thats my best guess but i am not wanting to try an fix it as i am sure id make it worse and now i have a reason to buy another and let some beginner have some fun and if they break it more no harm no foul. i mean it would be nice to have it not wobble again, but it leaves me in a fun spot to support a few of my favorite places.

Maybe try a couple light taps with something like the back end of a plastic handled screwdriver to see if it sets back in place.

I haven’t smacked mine on anything but it’s pretty much the only yoyo I’ve thrown for the last couple months.

The finest plastic yoyo I’ve ever used.

That is what happens to it. We don’t own a foundry so we can’t do it ourselves 🙂

That is beautiful. MUST HAVE ONE.

Are there other hardware options? The black is perfect and it’s what I’ll likely order, but I think white would look really nice, and I’d be curious to see it with colors.

That photo is in overcast conditions. The rings are actually polished raw aluminum - they look darker in that photo than they really are. This run will all be like this but we’ll do future runs with clear shells and colored rings.
