They all play great! And only the burger Chef needed a vinegar whip!
if you look at FTY’s PV44, Project Y and Project Ti we’ve incorporated what we’re calling a ‘schwall’. a nod to schmoove grooves, but reducing a significantly larger part of the wall above the response…. this was also to reduce friction as the schmoove grooves were intended, but also to see how much we could reduce that.
Thanks for the clarification, I confess that having been away for more than a year I had lost most of your work, I have seen it now, including the website and I give you my best compliments for it.
I understand what you tell me, the origin of the idea and the purposes of it and actually it can also be a kind of “trademark”.
On the practical act, and returning to the schmooves, what I was detecting is only a factual situation that has remained constant over the course of many years now (that is that of not adopting solutions similar) and this I think may depend on a couple of factors… the practically almost total adoption of bearings with string centering systems (kk, v-cave, groove, central-track, beffcake, etc.) which practically prevents contact with the walls of the wall even if these are very high. … I wrote “almost” because one of the few exceptions (perhaps the only one) that by choice has always remained faithful to flat bearings is OneDrop which, however, it should be noted, has never adopted Schmoove solutions.
The other factor, namely that those grooves help and favor the opening of the noose in suicides I have always found it quite unlikely, for two motives at least, the first is that it has never been tried to understand or study in any way what are the real modifications to which the air flow can be subjected (therefore a sort of fluid dynamics study), the second, more empirical one is that I find it very unlikely that “air games” even if generated by these grooves in an area so narrow and limited they can influence the motion of two sections of string so long and above all they can influence its opening in its section diametrically opposite to them.
the 138 should fit you nicely in regards to that lineup
This is my first time seeing it. I want one for sure. Are they going to have a fiendish logo? Did you see them on the reunion tour? I got tickets for my birthday and went. It was so cool. I assumed it was just never going to happen.
That’s the way!! I approve of this throw use. Dings happen. Then they don’t matter!!!
I’ve got a question here.
Is that supposed to be two tone??
I once made an all black AntiYo with red hearts that was supposed to be all black. It turned out to be black and a really dark gray almost black. Traded it to a Mate across the pond. Once you see it you can never Un see it. Jmtc
It’s a subtle purple fade and I just happened to choose two more opposing colors in that catch zone photo.
As pictured here with another late 90s FOMO driven purchasing obsession that now my kids have way too many of.
Very nice.
A couple new friends, liked this colorway of the JDS Shutter, and decided to grab a hummingbird. Happy with both.
This is pretty sick. Get that girl into 0a!
Nice find! Thank you
Expecting same combo in the mail 
They stuck in France for some reason.
What is the deep red one on the far left?
