Do you have a set criteria for yoyo design? Or are you more open to trying different materials/weights/dimensions?

After trying maple, it’s definitely the best wooden unresponsive I’ve tried and hope to own one one of these days!

Knowing how difficult it can be to make both a smooth and well performing (not to mention the modern wide specs) yoyo, at what point in prototyping did you feel confident with the design and play? Were there any points where you thought the project might not be worth it?

Thanks for doing this Paul! I love my Maple! I love the skateply! Any thought of making matching counterweights or maybe some knuckle rollers?

I would retract my entry and question just to get this peer pressured into existence. Pretty sure that’s not how this works but I’ll stand by my statement regardless lol
