Thoughts on Yoyo feedback

I teach golf for a living and I use technology to do so. When looking at the flight of a ball we use top of the line tech to determine characteristics of ball flight. While teaching I had some thoughts the other day.

Is there any technology that will measure the RPM of a yo-yo? If so what would be the variation between titanium/metal/bimetal/plastic? I feel that this could uncover a lot about how they are made, how to help players get better, and help progress the industry forward etc…

What materials do you think will be the next big trend in yo-yos?

Thanks in advance!

There is a Hyperyoyo machine that measures the spin of a yoyo. But a yoyo is so much more than that. No one throws a yoyo and sees how long it sleeps for anymore. I think more people like certain yoyos for reasons they can’t really explain. And that’s always hard to measure. I like the Skyva more than some titaniums Ive designed. But it doesn’t make it better or worse - just different.

Material wise - I think different grades of Aluminum are being pushed which is nice to see.
