Prototypes. I need some feedback!!!-Update with new design

I have a software that calculate weight.
I’d like to help if you want me to.

I like #1 the best followed by #4.

I like number 4, but i think it needs a thicker rim.

and it needs an IRG

What’s up with everyone wanting irgs?

They’re awesome. Opens up a new realm of tricks.

People like options. When you spend decent dollars on a yoyo, you want as many options available to you as possible. People want a grinding surface to be able to do grinds, as well as it often fees better in the hand than a smooth/mirror finished yoyo. I prefer grindable surfaces even though I can’t grind YET. I can’t do IRG’s either, but I want the option.

Things like stacks are more secondary. People will seek out yoyos with this feature. But, IRG’s, a lot of people want that and expect it these days.

The more features you can offer, the more marketable the yoyo will be unless you’re just making them for yourself or a select small group.

Well I don’t know. I’m making ten. Keeping 2. Waiting list of 2 at this point. So o need to sell six more. Is that select enough? I wonder if 6 people would buy it…

So is this an IRG? Does anyone like this design, or no?

Looks a little weird in the middle of the walls… might wanna move some of that weight to the rims. increase spin times and all. but I’m not an expert, so don’t take my word for it :slight_smile:

Yeah i just noticed that it sucks. But I just wanted to see if that was an IRG.
Here is the updated old model. With an IRG. As far as I know.

Yeah, that one looks better :slight_smile: nice.

when will you be starting to sell?

July, ideally. I am waiting until summer, but Im spending June in Paris. So it’ll end up in July.
Should I make a blog about the process or something?

that’d be cool. I’m using a journal and making a video about mine. Posting pictures along the way :slight_smile:

That’s for the project part Haha. We are required to do that.

haha, I know. technically a blog counts as an electronic journal though :wink: I read over the project guidelines. they make it seem like a lot more than it really is.

That may be a problem. I go on vacation for a week and a half in July and there is no wi-fi so I can’t order any yoyos. But there is a store that sells yoyos on the boardwalk :wink:

I can reserve them since I don’t think I’m releasing them from any store…

Then I better start putting some money away :smiley: Ant BTW thats good to hear that you can reserve them. I was worried.
