Hey guys. If you could make your own yoyo, what would you name it? which company would produce it? which shape would it have, colorways, bearing, response etc? 😃  
Be creative =D

There was a “signature yoyo” thread, which was really close to this, but it has been inactive for a while.

My yoyo would be called the Theory. It’d be a SPYY. I’ve just had a thing for SPYY for as long as I’ve been yoyoing. I used the name “Theory” in a piece of flash fiction for Doug Brown’s writing contest on YYN, so that’s kinda special for me.

Imagine a classic round butterfly shape, but as it reaches a flat rim it continues the radius back towards the axis. The catch zone would be reminiscent of a Pyro, with a very choked catch point and gap. Very bubbly and strange. Needs the spike; none of SPYY’s “no spike” bologna they’ve been doing recently.

Prolly 53mm diameter, 42mm wide, 69-72 grams, 3.5mm gap, D bearing. Raw raw raw. No beadblast.

This would be more for fun than function I guess. Radiyo made by Duncan. A nice solid plastic butterfly shape, with speakers instead of caps and a way to play music inside. Don’t ask me how it would work, I just know it would be a combination to two awesome things.

matte black, pink engravings  
maybe a gold plated limited ed too  
assorted counter weight and specific string type/color  
49mm diameter  
probably less than 60g of weight  
butterfly/rounded shape  
fairly wide gap, fairly wide throw (no numbers in mind, but probably very “square” throw dimensions wise)  
most likely hspin size bearing
