One Drop YoYos Official News

Update: The Rally will launch at 66.5 grams. Thanks for the feedback team and friends.

Wow! Amazing to hear the weight increase! I definitely want one now

Are you guys going to be at nationals? I am dying to meet you guys in person!

Yes, we will most certainly be there.

Are there any more ongoing contests to win OD yoyos?

We’ll do something around the time we drop the Rally.

Any updates on production run of the Rally?

Anodized rings are getting picked up this week. Once they arrive into the shop, we will be working overtime to get them out and into your hands!

This is great news! Very exciting!

Can’t anything be a surprise anymore?

Jeez. You can probably wait until tomorrow to see the specs.

Thanks man :slight_smile:

Oh! Quick question, do you guys have a special patch of concrete that you use for your pictures? Where is it?

Looks like those parking lot cement things.

Yep, it’s just outside the One Drop shop. Paul Dang is the photographer. He does a great job.

Do you plan on using different weight rings, like titanium or brass?

Does the process of installing different weight rings cost a lot more other than materials?

After gaining this experience with weight rings do you think you’ll get into applying weight rings to aluminum throws?

Not likely we’ll use other materials for the weight rings. If we did the process of installing would be the same though. There is not reason to use weight rings on aluminum yoyos because aluminum weighs enough that you can just incorporate it all into the design. We felt plastic needed the weight rings in order to get the proper weight distribution and total weight so the yoyo would play well enough.

Thanks for the answer. That’s what I thought. I was just curious why some companies use weight rings on their aluminum yoyos when they could just incorporate it all into the design. Some examples YoyoJam (Phenom and others), C3 (Berserker), YoyoOffice (Eager). Apparently it’s all cosmetics.

Other companies might have a different opinion on that. Just from our perspective there aren’t enough gains in it to justify the added difficulty in making it balanced - its hard enough as it is to make balanced yoyos on a consistent basis.

Is it safe to say we will see a different sized weight ring in the future to offer a couple more or less grams?
