Let me say somenthing: In my opinion (and itā€™s just a personal opinion) Titanium is not ā€œbetterā€ than alluminium, just different. But, if you like the feeling, good, itā€™s good for you to use that. What I want to say, itā€™s, to me, one material is not better than the other. For this reason, plastic is not worst than alluminium. 99.9% of plastic is not machine, itā€™s moulded, and this make the yoyos very innacurate. BUT, if you machine a plastic yoyo, AND you make a good weight distribution, probably the yoyo will be awesome. One of my friend made the Rooyo - HF, that was machined in delrin, a very good quality plastic. It worked very good. Good as an alluminium on. ![HF](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/b/6/1/b61fff3655b43636faaf3006e2c800aac61bcf3d.jpeg) Thatā€™s it, Iā€™m not a titanium hater, I just think itā€™s a good material as many others, and the amazing material quality of this one, in yoyo making, are not helpful ---

Itā€™s a yoyo a made with bronze and fishing wire. Itā€™s a good example to explain how weight distributions can be wrong. More weight in the outside itā€™s not always a good solution. For the same reason I donā€™t think titanium is always the best solution. (I donā€™t have a yoyo store, Iā€™m just an entusiast) ---

I think yo-yo design these days, while arguably at the high point of its history, has reached a sort of standstill. Nearly every yo-yo made is pretty good, but theyā€™re a bit similar. Iā€™d very much like to see some companies working with experts like Mr. Ettore Ferro or @yoyodoc to create some truly unique pieces. Why arenā€™t we seeing that? If I had a company, Iā€™d throw crazy ideas at them all day long, listen to theirs, and see what would happen. I realize this has gone a bit off topic, of course, but I felt the need to state that. ---

off topic, but why do people never blast their ti? The slick finishes feel awful like an unanodised/raw aluminum yoyo. Even if they play good their bad feel in the hand keeps me away from using any ti as my main throw. ---

My Ti yo-yos: Luftverk Daytona, 5 YYF Ti Dreams, Fulvia BTMR Fulvia, One Drop Citizen, Magicyo REX, 2 Ti Walkers, YYR Dazzler, Throw Revolution Lotus, Ti Peak, Ti Phiter, Oxy Hyperion, Ti Shutter, a few YYJ Titanium prototypes, a Japan Tech Ribira, etcā€¦ I have never even had a thought that any of them felt like a raw/ unfinished aluminum yoyo. To me; nothing quite feels like Ti in the hand. Iā€™ve never thought of them as slick; with the exception of the Luftverk Glass dust Fulvia, the AMS Daytona or the Gold plated Iyoyo Tiger.

> [@MrBist](#): > > Many yoyo builder (except Xela from X3 and a few more) do not think about the fact weights in different places act in different way. Really!? Statements about weight distribution are a constant refrain from yo-yo designers. I understand your point that as an added weight there are other denser materials that are more effective, but the ability to machine it so thin, while maintaining enough structural strength, allows for designers to easily move the weight distribution around on mono-metal designs. At least that is my understanding. It may or may not be the ultimate material for yo-yo design, but surely itā€™s not useless? Please post more pics with any rebuttal! ---

^ Thanks! Did it work? Is it like a barking walk the dog? Well whether or not they actually used Ti to the fullest, and regardless of the actual merits of Ti as a material for manufacturing yo-yos, I enjoy all of my Ti yo-yos. My Rook and Castle are amazing performers. My Fianchetto is like an old school EDC, thatā€™s been hotrodded. Even the seemingly much maligned Ricochet, is pretty fun; an organic with lots of spin power. It could totally be ā€œall in my headā€, but whatever, I enjoy them. ---

This post has refueled my desire to hunt down some of those magnificent pieces made by Mr. Bist. Which is not good at all, considering that the probability of finding one is extremely low. Iā€™ll go look at some dog/cat videos to feel better. Or purchase more titanium yo-yos. Thatā€™s always good for the wallet. On another off-topic note, is there a post where people get to upload pictures of their designs, such as modded yo-yos, prototypes that never got the chance to be produced, etc? Iā€™d love to see something like that. But Iā€™m not sure if other people would be interested. ---

There was one, called the d\*\*\*runner, which was designed with a slightly wider gap and to take modern 19mm slim pads. Iā€™m not sure how many were made but @chaosgow already said they arenā€™t doing another run of these, either, since apparently VsNYYC resurrected itself at some point. I picked one up on BST a couple months ago and itā€™s one of my favorites.
