Update! Capricorn Design has changed! For real this time! No more nub, but instead a flat cup! This gives the yoyo a better look and is great for fingerspins! Also, and a popular demand, we rounded the rims a bit so it won’t hurt when a tight bind comes your way. The yoyo is NOT skinnier than the original, it’s just because of the close up view. Same specs! Hope you guys enjoy! ---

We finally got the files in for the Capricorn prototypes! After 18 days of trial and error we finally got it! You guys won’t be disappointed at the end result. ---

Looks like a solid design with great specs! I usually don’t comment on up and coming companies since most of them never get past the CAD stage but glad you guys are actually making progress. I’ll make sure to be on the lookout for these. ---
