I was imagining more of a… and I have trauma around vintage cars… my dad has issues… but a yo-yo with the look, feel, of some chromed out part of a vintage car. Be it a wheel, some curvy trim piece, or like an old Studebaker bullet nose. Granted some of those had retro futuristic tones so maybe it would circle back to that lol. ---

I’m trying to split the difference on most of my designs, like the two protos you are getting (out for delivery to you today!!!) are matte finished or semi matte even the outrageously blue one, but some designs just call out for shiny. Like a chrome design, or a polycarbonate idea I’m toying with, or that shiny pocket watch. ---

I totally get it. I have no problem with shiny from a looks perspective at all just my brain goes ick when there’s that shiny almost tacky feel to a yoyo. Idk same issue I have with a contact coin or roller or even begleri I don’t love the hand feel and tactile is a strong part of the hobby for me but I’m just one person lol ---

When the waiting time is long enough you start trying to film one handed stalls that you normally can’t even do. First time I’ve been able to land these even semi consistently on any yo-yo. Forgive the horrible filming :joy: [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/f/2/1/f21a780833f43cbb75b5d6aef8fed8c2fa1a8125.jpeg "Demons Fun - Titanium Prototype Yo-Yo One Handed Trapeze") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXzW5GoPHjw) ---
