I have to add that 2015 was the year of the titanium material-wise, but play-wise it was “finger spin” year. One of the most frequent questions I get when I post a photo, is whether it’s good for finger spins. That was HUGE last year, and I think that trend will continue. For those of you who make yo-yos, just make sure it’s good for finger spins.

Is it good for Fingerspins?

That IS one thing I’d like to see if the ever do a remake of the G2 Marvel, an easier to hit fingerspin cup, it’s just a little too… Shallow, I think.

New Barracuda, I own one. They’re nice. Since they’re made overseas, they should sell around $60.

Wow, seriously? I thought that was thing in 2013-2014 and nobody really takes it seriously anymore.

> sOMEThING anglam TISS

You think it will be the year of bimetal? That’s not particularly insightful.

Had you noticed that there were LOADS of bimetals releases last year? Way more than the titanium throws you mentioned.

I was thinking the same thing. Who really does fingerspins much anymore?

Yes, I’m serious.&nbsp; When I’m watching videos on social media, a lot of times they are just video clips of fingerspins.&nbsp; I’m not talking about professional players, I’m talking about the consumers who are buying their yo-yos.&nbsp; And, specifically, lately the complaint is that they do not want engraving in that finger spin zone.&nbsp; So, the comments have evolved not just into wanting a finger spin zone, but preferably with no engraving in it.&nbsp; The companies paying attention to consumers, are going to have to make some finger spin friendly throws in 2016.&nbsp; I’m not a finger spinner, but a lot of other people are.

And, you see the comment above, regarding the Marvel. When the yo-yo is good for finger spins, people are thinking about how it could be even better at finger spins.&nbsp; I mean, even pro players, are doing finger spins too, if they’re promoting a new 2015-2016 release.&nbsp; And, it’s a smart move.&nbsp; YoyoFactory is with the program. Look at 1:54.&nbsp; Dogma is good at fingerspins.&nbsp; More companies should answer that question right in the video, because trust me, it matters these days.

While I feel like fingerspins are cool right now, they’ll fade away in time, much like the IRG did.

With the Imagine Breaker and Railgun out within a minute of the new year, I think they’ve hit the nail on the head.
