Someone help me understand why 7068 is super dope. I believe you, and I now want a Deepest State made from one even though I am unsure of the benefits, just wondering what attributes it brings over the commonly used aluminums

More compact is my preference, but these large diameter designs can deliver a lot of power in a lightweight package,

Think there must’ve been a typo, yoyo is between 56.5 and 57mm, ill check at work tomorrow when I’ve got calipers in front of me :sweat_smile: David might beat me to it.

I was prepared to trust the process at ~60mm, but closer to or even below 57mm is perfect.

Is this ODs first 7068? Oh wait, 7078?

These are engraved, to be clear

I think 7078 is a typo. It is 7068 in the text:

This is our first 7068 aluminum alloy yo-yo and it’s shipping with a brand new Side Effect called “The JT”.
