That sounds amazing! Sign me up please. Squirrels are near the top of my favorite animal list, and I would love to try out a counterweight for the first time. ---

Question for those who have worked with SpectraPly: Is tear out a big issue? Does it tend to tear out more in one orientation versus another? Also what reputable places have you sourced it from? ---

You buy it from Cousineu Wood Products. Tearout can be an issue with spectraply because it doesn’t like to be scraped in bowl orientation, which is how most of us shape our halves. If you turn it in spindle orientation (grain parallel to the lathe bed), you will get less tearout. My spectraply yoyos are made with the grain perpendicular to the lathe vs TMBR who uses spindle orientation. ---

I’ve been really enjoying the Terra Pill lately (my own home made ones) and I’ve been wanting to make my own pocketsbe design. Enter the ‘Egg Cup’ 😆. This thing is loads of fun to play. I can also put my SW logo on this one when I’ve finalised the design. Its quirky and super playable; It’s very Spinworthy. ![20221002_162628](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/6/8/5/685ec8c99c30c47b09974279e4acf6418338c213.jpeg) ![20221002_162700](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/8/e/f/8efde8ebfdbe66ac9d0276a1d87bbbdf22ba5aa6.jpeg) ![20221002_162728](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/9/e/8/9e838ee9241e62d4cb03ead30a6070a356cdde44.jpeg) ![20221002_162745](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/b/4/e/b4e4c2a7b42fb03166210b81a74f028ec263c617.jpeg) ![20221002_170431](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/d/5/1/d51731934f3c6fbc9c02696fbad4a93f96c7eb4a.jpeg) ---
