Finally got a titanium yo-yo and want to spark it up. I tried my concrete driveway didn’t work. But I got a couple sparks on asphalt. So what surface would produce the most sparks? Maybe rocks?

Most probably asphalt.
Brick works pretty well. For demonstration purposes you could stick some sandpaper to the floor or wall and scrape it on that.

Wish i could afford to wreck a titanium. This hurts my heart.

Sorry buddy. If it helps. I bought it used and it had vibe to begin with. I wouldn’t have intentionally damaged a perfectly fine titanium. Plus this is my new permanent edc yo-yo. I don’t want to worry about damaging something that is going to hang from my belt loop everyday. That’s why I wanted a titanium beater. Plus it did very minor damage.

Front teeth are the best
5 of the worst choices for sparking would be:
Water
Butter
Pop Tarts
A Human skull
Baby diapers

haha, no worries, i’m just jealous and would really be too afraid to even throw a titanium based on cost alone… but it would be cool to throw walk the dog and fire a shower of sparks from it too.

I think the idea was to be less afraid to throw a yo-yo made of a titanium. Please get one I am sure you will enjoy, if you do get a titanium I am also sure it will not be your last.
As for sparking a new titanium why? That seems like abuse no use to me.
I guess if it had already been beat up…. and you did not get taken to the cleaners on price when you picked it up. Do us all a favor, have at it make a variety of videos of different surfaces slo-motion and post them. That way we can all get the this buggy idea out of our heads or maybe for sum the bug put in our heads.
I would like to 2nd a surface, slow! descent into a stick of room temperature butter in slow motion

I sparked my brand new raw Ti-Vayder within a week of owning it. What I find amazing is how little damage it actually does. Ive also used it as a 5A beater and it has been dropped on brick countless times. I could still probably sand/buff/polish it down to look almost mint. Dropping an aluminum yoyo once will do far more damage.
I get good sparks from my cobblestone brick patio.

Be careful, there are many city ordinances prohibiting the sparking of titanium yo-yos due to drought conditions and global warming.
