Thats look like a kahiji from revyolution, which i really love, and i think i would like this yoyo too.
and with your hex nut axle, this would be awesome.
and if i might sugest, you might want to rounded the edge a little bit. My kahiji has a very similar shape at the rim, and kinda hurt if it smack you.
great job btw. . .
And I like my yoyos to spin for a respectable amount of time. Iām not saying it has to be āouchā shapedā¦ In fact, Iām not saying anything becasue itās not my design and therefore not my choice.
less lethal IMO. 8)
i like that shape a lot better, actually hoping some company make that kinda yoyo with that kinda spec.
i might snatch one if itās readily available. if i got the money that isā¦ ;D
nice yoyo, but i think you need a little bit more rim weightā¦
So, the "after"shape is more sharp on the edges than the āBeforeā?
I thought every one was complaining about the sharp edges. The āAfterā pictures have edges that make me hurt to just look at them. Plus, there is very little rim-weight on the āAfterā pictures.
I like the āBeforeā yoyo much more. The āAfterā you is way too sharp on the edges and seems to concentrate weight in the center and less on the rims.
Let me clarify, I made this thread with the Before pictures. these were the original changes (forgot to change the title) the after pictures are the changes of the changes.
as for the rim weight, ive got (what I believe to be) plenty there, besides, I am trying to keep a nice little chunk there in the middle for stability reasons.
i think itās not that very angular shape, itās more to the 90 degree cut after the bubbly outer rim to the inner face of the yoyo, that could hurt you.
i have a kahiji with very similar cut at the rim, and it hurt if i donāt catch it the right way.
as for the angular shape, i donāt think it would be uncomfortable to catch, almost like phenom or sleipnir, angular, but still comfy to catch.
I have a Phenom. While it is an amazingly smooth, stable yoyo; āComfyā is not a word I would use to describe it.
The CLYW Gnarwhal has a shape that I would call āComfyā. Still open and angular, but the rims are rounded and wide enough to spread the impact out on a sharp bind.
