The Ti-Vayder Experience

For sure! I’m guessing no yoyo company weighs each yoyo as a part of the testing process. Again, I’m not trying to be a picky jerk at all this whole project has been awesome and fascinating and so it kicks me into deep investigation mode. Fun and exciting stuff does that to me!

As for the play - SUPER fun. I notice some gentler curving as compared to the Drunner, especially in the cut in the cup as well as in the IRG. Beautiful hand feel and super smooth on the string.

@HVizier and @codinghorror kudos on a job well done - you got an amazing yoyo that I’ve always wanted into my hands, and these finishes are fantastic!

I will likely ano mine purple in the future (it’s raw so no need to strip). I think I will enjoy it raw for a while first.

cool! I’ve got black so I’d need to strip it first. I uhhh chose black because I wanted those big numbers :sunglasses:

Fingers crossed I get one that is over 64 lol. I tend to like yoyos on the heavier side.

The grey and black are not typical titanium oxide, they are likely Titanium-Nitride or Aluminum-Titanium-Nitride - pretty tough stuff (it’s like a ceramic coating). You might want to consider keeping it but if you really want to strip it, I would do some research…

I’ve carried a Ti-Ni coated space pen every day for about 8 years now. The finish has held up/ aged very well!

Is this the classic “space pen” that was all the rage?

Yes? It is the bullet style one - it collapses down to half-size and goes perfectly with my Exotac fire-starter and my Madbob’s pocket lockpick set. :slight_smile:

With modern CNC machines, I don’t really see how this is even possible. :wink:

Love the space pen! I had one when I was young. I was a total space nerd. Even went to Space Camp one summer! Placed 2nd in the class in the placement exam and got to pilot the simulator!
