Speaking of raw strips…

Gotta love those eye candy videos. I like yoyo manufacturing videos more than yoyo playing videos.

OneDrop has always been a clear cut winner for machine tease videos.

Its true! It’s awesome seeing these things being made. The Summit video was absolutely fascinating, it was the first time I had actually seen the process from start to finish. Keep up the good work guys!

Do you know what color (or combinations) will be available? I’m unbelievably impressed with my green and can’t wait to get more.

I appreciate it you are correct - those are the colors.

Small question:
Why does the color of the catch contain small marks and why is it different (not as vibrant) than the cup? Is it because the insides of the plastic doesn’t dye as well as the outer layer? And with the machining of the catch zone it shows that?

Is is from the machining… The machining is giving the feel of a blasted or “matte” finish while the inside is glossy. I think its the shine that you are seeing…

Saw this over on One Drop’s Facebook Page.

The Format:C Challenge: design a 7075 yoyo for competition play from the ground up. The “C” stands for “Competition” or “Contest”.

The testing process was intense with two rounds of prototyping going to every single member of our team for extensive play. The Format:C probably has the deepest “beta testing” of any yoyo we have made.

We had an unexpected extra challenge on the manufacturing side. We had to change and refine some processes to be able too make these consistently balanced. Shawn (The Machinist) was up for the challenge and was able to solve the problems. There was a point where we thought we may not be able to release this but now the Format:C is here.

Weight: 65.15 grams
Width: 43 mm
Diameter: 57 mm
Stock Response: Flow Groove
Gap Width: 4.45 mm
Bearing Size: Large (C) stainless steel (One Drop 10 Ball Bearing)
Aluminum: 7075

Arriving to your favorite retailer soon!

First run colorways will be Grey, Blue, Green, Purple, Red and Orange.

Yes, this is on purpose. We call it “marbleized”. Plastic that grinds well!

The “marbleized” plastic effect looks great. My green rally has slight hints of light blue throughout the catch zone, gives it an interesting effect.

Whoever does your pictures is amazing. Also anything on the georgia yoyo contest?

I do believe their company photographer is none other than Paul Dang. He has an incredible eye for detail.
