do the external holes help with the response? ---

The external holes are the end of the response holes drilled from the inside. The through-hole response has 3 functions. It reduces the weight of the yoyo, allowing for heavier woods to be used and to be kept at a lower weight. The wenge wood one pictured is 53.2g. It would be close to 60g without the holes. They also reduce centre weight, which increases spin, even with a low weight variant like Spectra Button I made. Lastly, they allow for knots to be picked out much more easily. ---

The oak one weighs 43.9g. What I love about the Button is how goldilocksy it is. A wide range of woods can be used without the final product ending up too light or heavy. It opens up a lot of options and all feel great to play. ---

@anon5341354 how come we don’t see more walnut throws? I just got a walnut knack and it’s become my favorite fixie. I thought it would be too light but it just feels right in the hand while my beech knack feels light even though it’s heavier than the walnut. ---

Walnut is beautiful wood. I just can’t find any pieces suitable for making yoyos. The stuff I have tends to yield yoyos that are too light. ---
