Selling this undersized Spinworthy fixed axle yoyo made from the third hardest wood in the world; gidgee.
To give you a idea, another Australian wood called waddy wood is the hardest in the world and has a hardness rating of 4,630 lbf. Gidgee has a hardness rating of 4,270 lbf, so it is only only marginally softer.
With a diameter of only 47mm, it plays pretty well. Because of its size, it does not have a very long spin time, but it’s adequate.
The wood is extremely expensive, about 6 times the price of anything else I use.
I hope you’re still making stuff when I get around to getting a fixed axle. I think the idea of having something one of a kind really lines up with the idea of modern responsive.
To me modern responsive just feels more individual and personal. Not that there isn’t a lot of innovation and creativity involved, but in comparison to unresponsive high level play the yo-yo feels like less of a tool to execute tricks that can be interchanged with almost any other modern unresponsive yo-yo, and more like an integral part of the experience.
