I love the freesolo, how do you compare the Burnside 2020 to it?

@hobby_master - Here’s some thoughts and a comparison between the two (with pics, if you go to the post) I made back in January:

> [@Burnside 20/20?](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/burnside-20-20/332671/5):
>
> I own both. Free Solo without a doubt or question in my mind is a better throw. Burnside 20/20 is great but is not as wide and plays a touch heavier than the FS. Also I feel as though the Free Solo is definitely more comfortable in hand and returning to the hand due to the more pronounced edges on the Burnside 20/20. Here’s some some comparison pics for you. [image] [image]

Nearly a year later, I will say that the Burnside is growing on me more and more. It kinda just sat for awhile, but I’m realizing the more I use it that it’s a very powerful and fast spinning throw - even more so than the Free Solo. I’d also say due to the rim weight, it’s a bit more stable as well. In my pic above your comment you’ll notice how the Free Solo’s weight is pushed towards the middle, and the Burnside’s is pushed towards the edge. Someday I hope they make a “rim weighted” version of the Free Solo, ideally an inner ring bi-metal version - I think it would absolutely just KILL everything else (and they could call it the Free Duo! [sorry, dumb bimetal joke]). With all that said, I still pick up my Free Solo more - I just find it more comfortable and more “relaxed” feeling (in the best possible way) than the Burnside 20/20 - but not so relaxed that it can’t be pushed to go fast. I still contend that the Free Solo is the best non-organic monometal you can buy right now.

It’s good! The finish is extra-matte, somewhat like Atmos does.

After having it a little while, what do you think? I’m going to be making a larger run with different woods and styles very soon. Is there anything in your opinion that I could do different to make a better or more desirable design? I’m going to try at least some without the axle being visible. I like the response so I’m going to keep the gap and axle the same.  
Great pictures

I would increase the width and diameter overall, and maybe widen the catch zone a little bit as well. I love the way it plays now. It just seems a bit on the small side compared to what I’m used to. I really don’t do more than a handful of basic 0A tricks and the occasional loop or two, but I have big hands, and I think making it slightly bigger will be awesome. Definitely don’t change the gap or response, because this thing is snappy!
