No.

But most of them are pretty smooth considering they are hand turned.

The POM yoyos I make are about as smooth as most of the machine made POM yoyos I’ve ever owned.

I gave a quick search of ‘handmade 4A yoyos’ and it came up empty.

Looks as though it’s likely nobody has done this before. Maybe I should give it a try soon.

Thing is, I have no experience in 4A, so I will be making something based off what seems to be the average specs of what is already available.

Also, I will need to use a half-spec C bearing to get the gap about right. Not sure that 4A players would like that. It may mess with the spin or function in some way I wouldn’t anticipate.

I voted yes because that plastic has a very cool look, BUT…

Your plastics don’t need to be “more appealing” Glen. They look great, play great, and they are meticulously hand-crafted by a fellow yoyo player on the other sides of the planet. Those are all pretty good things. A small sample size here on the forum who “may not buy them” for $100 does not represent the entire market. There’s a spot for your products, no need to worry about making them more appealing or less expensive.

Made a recycled HDPE Fixie for @AKYOYOMIKE

Was going to call this model the Beater, but I think it should have a better name.

I doubt it will matter (as this is like the third time this is happened in the last year and none of the involved parties have cared) just in case you aren’t aware but Steve Brown’s upcoming signature CLYW throw is named Beater 🙂

You already produced and named the yoyo. Steve can fend for himself and make up a new name.

Sorry, I shouldn’t’ve mentioned it. I think Spinworthy Beater and CLYW Beater are distinct enough that they won’t confuse anyone, especially as they’re completely different style of yo-yos. I guess I just thought it was interesting and was more commenting that this keeps happening.

> You already produced and named the yoyo. Steve can fend for himself and make up a new name.

to be fairrrr the CLYW Beater has been publicly named since February

I don’t want to make my yoyos the same as someone else’s.

TopYo also have a yoyo called the Button. I made mine after theirs, but mine actually looks like a button and theirs doesn’t. Lol
