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! ![MiniBowl-Extra_1024x1024](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/d/3/3/d3323902dc49cbe4291bdb29e3c826dcc36b766c.jpeg) 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! ## Wednesday 7/24 @ 8PM EDT. > **[The Bowl Mini](https://yoyoexpert.com/products/the-bowl-mini-by-rso)** > > This new release from Elvin Lim and @yoyophotographs on instagram is the latest iteration of the organic Bowl shape - The BOWL Mini!

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. ---

I haven’t worked with stainless but have done regular steel and it’s pretty easy to work with. Again I’m not involved in this, so there are a ton of things I’m not aware of. Maybe it’s just a mental hurdle for me to get over. ---
