I think the Ricochet looks pretty darn cool! I’m saving for one.
Ben, is this the same yoyo you had at BAC last year?

That was a prototype yup, that one was basically a titanium Protege.

Kinda just wanted to say a small something:
Ricochet looks amazing as a classic shape that is made with the Titanium material.
Not just that, but keeping the price in the $200 range is a heck of a lot better then past Titanium yoyos, specifically lets all remember Anti-yos BSP.
So seeing this type of shape, at that price, at that material… Pretty dang skippy if you ask me.
I can’t get this unfortunately, as I had a previous Yoyofactory order.
I’m just wondering where the term “Ricochet” came from in order to name this. Due to the sparks?
Hope this throw is successful in sales.

It is just the pictures here. Maybe we could get a picture of a MIB one here at YYE?

We will get some new pictures up tomorrow too - the titanium is so reflective when you picture it at an angle it reflects the engraving making it look not as sharp. But we will try to get it a little clearer as it does look great in person and the current picture does it no justice.

Thank you Steve for your awesomeness. I was real close to ordering one myself, but I actually have the opposite view as ^ Chris here. Like the shape, like the hub design, but the undersized dimensions will most certainly break me out in a rash. So put me on the “no” list.

You can move me from the “didn’t say” to the “no” section, Steve.
I’m not good enough to deserve a titanium throw.
And yeah, the size is kind of smaller than what I’ve found I’m comfortable with.
But thanks to Ben for linking me to those videos! They were a blast to watch.

Made me laugh a little. Thanks Steve. I’m expecting mine in the mail tomorrow.
The hard part will be waiting until Saturday to spark it at my yoyo club meet up :wink:

Reply tomorrow or whenever with how it is, and your first impressions on a throw 🙂

I am not getting one but I won’t lie, I was excited when i saw it. I thought it sold out for some reason, don’t know why it was showing zero in stock yesterday but now it’s showing up.
Tbh, if I can try one… I wouldn’t mind spending the $ if I liked it. I am sure I am not the only one either… If only we could test throw yoyos 😛

The first batch of them sold out and they restocked them. The first release I think had 12 of each color.

Wouldn’t mind having one, but I sure mind spending that much on a yoyo. Not sayin it’s not worth it, just that cash is low and need to pay bills and food. I’d sorta buy two onedrops. I’ve been avoiding undersized.
