So many yoyos look similar. There’s only so much innovation that can go on. It’s little things here and there. At some point, someone will come up with something way out there. Like, say the Chief. However, this yoyo inside a yoyo, I saw it coming with the rings inside the Bassalope, just now taken extreme.
I think the community and industry benefits from individuals, especially individuals with little to no design skills, screwing around with CAD programs and coming up with designs. Just as with everything else, not everything is going to stick, but that’s OK. It’s the sharing of ideas and concepts. We won’t see established companies doing this because it’s bad for business. What’s funny is that some companies HAVE to do this, considering One Drop is doing manufacturing of yoyos for a few other well known companies as well, yet One Drop still comes up with their own original designs.
I had the same thought about the stampede, but the stampede if I remember right, is a 56mm throw, while this one is a 52mm
I rarely post in these threads, but for one, I’d like to see this design come to life, I like it (but I recon, I know absolutely NOTHING about yoyos designs, I understand roughly how it works, but yea, I just don’t care as long as they look good and spin well)
Ive never played a metal with that design although it does look very interesting. What I dont like about it is the same with the PSG. It will most likely be a bit awkward and possibly painful to catch because pf the shape. Still, Id like to test one to put my theory on trial
I like the hour-glass shape, and it is getting more popular.
I especially like that you decided on a D instead of a C bearing.
Makes me think of an Exit 8 without the cut on the inner lip that Duncan uses for caps.
