Now that I sent my run of yoyos off to YYE, I can focus on other ideas. For a while, I’ve wanted to make a yoyo with high walls, a thin gap and no response holes drilled. One of my favourite fixed axle yoyo, the A/RT Orphan is like this. The combination of these three things give a powerful, almost elastic feel on the return and regenerations. It’s because the string wind covers a larger area of the inner walls, giving more wood/string interaction on the wind and unwind. This is a yoyo I made that utilises these concepts. I chose a gap width of 1.75mm and measured how much area the string covers wound up with this gap. I made the inner wall exactly as large as this. I gave it a 1/4" walnut axle so that it felt as powerful as possible. I wanted to emulate the feel of the Orphan, but I also made the yoyo wider so that backhand catches are easier. The feel of this yoyo is wonderful and has that powerful, smooth, elastic qualitu that the Orphan has. I love it. ![20200105_223927](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/d/8/6/d864aebdd740c80ff432fb887b37b1fc4b034a4f.jpeg) ![20200105_223944](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/e/0/7/e0710d2d84fc3fc0fe3f378e8e16d487e2512de4.jpeg) ---

Hello folks! It’s been a LOOONG time! curently spinning a lot of tops , and I still yo-yo too! Saw this post passing by, and today I found a worn out wooden yo-yo 🙂 It’s an fixed axle, never played with it before. .now is maybe the time? I decided to paint it, yin yang style! Looks better in real -life. … ![IMG_20200105_205141_500](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/d/8/8/d88b820a548afc788d6a3fa6781f8367cbd00839.jpeg) ![IMG_20200105_205141_502](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/d/4/9/d49d2aa00e6a2c41be719cbbd543ca81d36edc92.jpeg) ![Studio_20200105_204439](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/e/a/c/eac58300a4229c6f2a5a5b885450064c3b74a865.jpeg) ---

This looks so good. The idea of a wider, Orphan-inspired yoyo sounds sick. Orphan had some serious spin power behind it, if only it wasn’t so frustratingly narrow. ---
