The goal for the Bowl Mini was to take the Titanium Bowl and shrink it down to a compact undersized throw, but they couldn’t properly do so with aluminium or titanium unless they beefed up the rims. In order to preserve the aesthetic of the Bowl series - extra thin rims and subtle center bump - They had to go with a full stainless steel design. Steel is much denser than titanium so they were able to get the performance right where they wanted it, as well as the look, all in a sleek compact form!
The yo-yo plays like any of the yo-yos in the Bowl series - on the lighter side, floaty, comfortable and easy to maneuver. It also has a very peculiar high pitched ring that is only made possible with stainless steel!
This looks DOPE! But if I gotta spend 200 wing wangs this week I gotta go with the Ti 888… gonna spend $5 on scratch and wins to see if I hit the jackpot
I don’t think they could make it too much cheaper. Steel is difficult to machine, especially with walls as thin as this. Even the full steel TopYo yo-yo was $160, and they try to keep things as budget friendly as possible.
