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. ---

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. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/9/e/6/9e610ca57805d5b9109f5a81a0284b8d2e2373be.jpeg) ---

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.
