That looks so sweet, I might need one of those eventually.
@Glenacius_K How do you think the Survivalist material would fare with dyeing?
I have no idea.
He’s an honest man.
Delrin dyes great. I have a number of dyed spin tops that are delrin/Pom/acetal.
I’ve dyed a few delrin throws myself,but I believe Glen said the survivalist is specifically some other plastic.
Ahh. @Glenacius_K what is the material the survivalist is made of? I’m sure a google search would tell if it can be dyed.
I know it can be made in a variety of colours, but dyed afterwards, I’m not sure.
This is the best unresponsive I’ve ever made in my opinion. It has a good balance between performance, feel and comfort. Acetal is a very rewarding material to hand turn.
Specs:
Diameter: 53.25mm
Width: 46.4mm
Weight: 64.1
I’d love to keep it, buy sadly, this one is going to @Applepooh
It looks really good!
Thanks. I set out to make my dream unresponsive yoyo and I think I may have nailed it.
It looks amazing, specs are awesome.
I am super stoked.
Thank you @Glenacius_K , this masterpiece will be going to a good home.
That looks so nice
Carbon fiber yoyo?
Turning carbon fibre would be cool, but probably would just end up delaminating it. The dust it produces is also conductive…Not cool.
The yoyo I previously posted is going to be a new model of mine called the Stout. I’m really happy with it and I’ll make them by order.
Oh man, I love the yoyo and I love the name too! It definitely looks like a stout yoyo
Looks stout, but still pretty light at 64.1g.
Just got one similar to this and I gotta say I think that this may be the greatest yo-yo ever made. Plays like a floaty dream unresponsive and is hands down the best playing responsive yoyo I’ve ever touched. I’ve never felt a responsive yo-yo that was able to perform long string tricks and combos without snagging, yet still responds with the slightest of tugs. It can handle modern stall tricks just as well too! Ever wish you could do your unresponsive style tricks and then go straight into modern responsive play? Well you need one of these!
Hoo boy… that’s a great selling point. What’s the gap width on the one you got?
