I’m trying to think of a name for this one. A few ideas I had were - the Zen Garden - the Ripple - the Colosseum @RC_yo-yo , you have solid opinions on yoyo names. Do you have any thoughts? ---

How about twist, portal, vortex or gyre? I think growth ring would be a great name for a wood yo-yo but not necessarily this one.
