Definitely looks good… are you able to share dimensions/specs soon?

Yup

@Mikers

Prices for bar stock from the first website Google listed, not saying this is what OD pays, but it will let you know this is not going to be under $200.

Eight feet of Grade 2 bar stock at 57mm is $2,480.
Eight feet of 7075 at 57mm is $254.
Eight feet of 6061 at 57mm is $202.

We have Grade 5. And yes it’s an extremely expensive metal.

I mean it’s obviously going to be over that, but material costs aren’t the reason why. The cost of the aluminum stock used in even a 7075 yoyo is a few dollars, maybe $5-$7 at the most, no big deal. Even at 12x the cost the Ti used isn’t a spectacular cost compared to machining/overhead/labor/whatever. Also since most Ti throws aren’t anodized that right there should shave off a decent chunk of money. From what i can tell there’s no need for a Ti yoyo to cost as much as some of the ones we’ve seen lately. $250 max seems like a sweet spot where everyone’s making money and the consumer is happy imo.

When will this new titanium be released?

[jrodriguez]

^^That’s the question.

Can’t wait to check this out once it drops!

[DKiminator]

Ah I think I know how they named the company now - One (yoyo) Drop and all our money is gone.

At first glance I thought it was a yyf supernova. Looks great.

Please, educate the manufacturers on the where their profits should be. I’m sure your masters in yo-yo economics will come in so helpful.

While you are factoring in your calculations you may need to keep in mind that this is One Drop. They have a habit of pricing as low as they can go while still making a profit for the company.

Looking forward to the release of your $250 titanium yoyo

[S3TH]

Is there an estimated release date? I am torn between yyf’s Ti and now onedrops Ti, can’t decide.

[mrciurleo]

nevermind…

[S3TH]

@mrciurleo

^^^ Onedrop and $250 or YYF and $300… no brainer.

Except for the fact that there are 31 second chance yyf Ti’s still up for grabs from yyf for $200.

Where did you read the One Drop Ti would be $250.00?

My bad, I interpreted the above post wrong. I will be modifying my previous post. Sorry about that.
