> There’s obviously a happy middle ground, One Drop is a good example
Honestly I wouldn’t really say that OneDrop is in a happy middle ground. I think they’ve managed to figure out the vibe and bearing post situation because a lot of OneDrops are very, very smooth nowadays, even their side effect yo-yos. My Aitch is super smooth and the bearing comes out with little effort, which I appreciate a lot. I think OneDrop can achieve such a feat thanks to their insane tolerances in the bearing post (I think it’s like 0.005mm or something crazy like that, which is even tighter than aerospace and NASA tolerances) and them machining their own 10 ball bearings (yes bearings play a huge role as well). Here’s some comments from OneDrop talking about the bearing post and vibe situation:

> I’m glad you raised this topic. The agreed upon terminology is “Bearing Post”. “Bearing Seat” is the ledge that the inner race of bearing sits on and you definitely don’t want to sand that. That might seem too pedantic but it’s an important distinction. Also, do we really accept that it’s normal to have to sand a new product that you just bought? If it needs sanding, shouldn’t that be done before it’s sold? Speaking of bearing posts and the now very common tight bearing posts, I feel it’…

> I disagree that there isn’t a difference in quality. In order to have a metal yoyo with a retail price of $40 means that something somewhere was sacrificed. Magic doesn’t exist yet so some corner or corners were cut. Could be cheap/exploited labor. Could be cheaper materials. Could be what level of tolerance is being held. Could be other things. Just be aware you aren’t getting something for nothing. Does this result in yoyos that play different? Generally not and that’s the sentiment I…
The things that OneDrop is doing to sell a smooth yoyo that you can easily remove the bearing from is just mind blowing.

> Brands like OD/ART can get away with it
Frankly, A-RT can get away with anything at this point. It’s now on brand for them to sell yo-yos with defects like dings, ano flaws, scratches and vibe at full price (which are sky high [a monometal for $140, really?] for subpar quality control and some aren’t even USA or Canada made) and people will defend them and say that if you don’t like it, don’t buy their yo-yos. Nevertheless, it doesn’t change the fact that their quality control is basically non-existent and they’re perfectly happy with selling what most other brands would consider B-grades at full price with an A-grade tag.

I think it’s still a bi-metal Hummingbird, just that the aluminum body is modeled after the specs of the TiSS Hummingbird, which are sightly different than the standard AL Hummingbird (in thickness of the walls, IIRC). Making the body incredibly light and increasing the ratio of the rim-to-body-weight
I could be wrong, of course.

Oh, you’re probably right about that. The ring is so seamlessly matched up with the body that it really does look like a monometal.

I got it from yoyofriends directly about 6 weeks ago, so I don’t think so. I have seen a couple posts about people having major vibe issues with the current run, mine is perfectly smooth.

Dude, IKR. Mine has what look like some slight surface level scratches around the bearing seat but it does not seem to affect play. Totally worth the price to pick up a different type of throw than I’m used to.
