The physics behind spin times, speediness, and float

I was amazed by this when I bought my first, and last yo-yo with cut-outs. Yes it looks cool but the air resistance just overwhelms all other factors of yo-yo play.

Same! Even “small” cutouts can have a surprising effect.. large cutouts, like on classic typical aluminum car rims, make the yo-yo unpleasant to play with ..

what happened to Innovative Yoyo Concepts?

I think this yoyo would make an interesting addition to a collection, and I honestly wouldn’t mind having one. I am realistic about cutout yoyos not being too great after getting my Hattori… the amount of drag (and noise!) from the cutouts is astonishing.
