Undersize FHZ? Check! Updated 1/14/10

Yo-Yo Mods and Maintenance

Had this translucent blue FHZ here and had some time, so I decided to do some modding! I ‘highwalled’ it to get rid of the sticker lip, silicone recessed it, cut some shmoove rings, and then started cutting on the rims to make it undersize. I finished it off with a spiral satin. Weighs in at 66.4 grams and is 51mm in diameter now. I’m putting it up for sale if anyone’s interested!

1/14/10 Update

Just got out of the shop. Finished 4 of these babies. I call 'em MOMZ (Maxed Out Mini Zero). What 'cha think? I decided to go a little smaller this time and cut them to 50.5mm instead of 51mm. I also ‘wiped’ the caps. First time doing it, and I love the result! Sorry for the crummy pics. I will get better pics tomorrow.
