Not too heavy but I like a little heft. I was thinking maybe see if jake would add 4-5 more grams. What say y’all? Here is my opinion, as someone that’s played responsive for a very long time. I firmly believe that the super light yoyo is a fad and will burn out. It’s nice for some things. I’d bump up the weight to around 56-58g (give it a bit more rim weight, not a lot, just a little), and widen the gap to around 3.5 mm. This will make for a great all-around yoyo. It could be used as a responsive yoyo with little to no maintenance but clean the bearing and you’ve got a great semi to unresponsive yoyo. ---

I like it so far. I wouldn’t mind adding a few more grams either. I like the gap around 3mm personally. ---

It is 48g and has a narrow gap. Its 0A performance will be top notch, though. ---

I will say, I do miss my Harbinger. Probably right about the weight because that spun very nicely and stalled like a dream. ---

This vote actually mildly depends on how soon the responsive and unresponsive jackal are coming from a budget perspective on my end. If Jake releases multiple responsive back to back I’ll go broke lol ---

Yeah, the light yoyos are good for fixed axle type play, lots of stalls and flips. For me though, the type of 0A I play (a mix of fixie and 1A), they’re just too light. I don’t think they truly match a fixed axles play either. Not knocking any of the yoyos designed like that, they just have a different style of play than what I prefer. ---

Part of my thought on the Responsive; Since we will have a Unresponsive, it should lean more towards 0A than 1A. If the end user puts a bearing blank in, will it play decent? ---

That’s my thought too. Might as well get the yo-yos to play more toward a specific style and be really good at it instead of doing something that tries to cover all the bases. ---

Yeah. This goes back to what the designer said earlier. You end up with a watered down throw that doesn’t excel in any way. I don’t play 0a style at all but more like 1a and some of the throws I have that are designed to excel at 0a are problematic for me. This is where caps would be nice. Options of plastic and aluminum could add variety. Also o-rings were mentioned earlier as well. I’m pretty stoked about the design and I think even at 50 grams it’ll play very nice. Thanks for doing this Mr Jake. ---

Howdy Boomers. How is everyone? Is anything interesting going on? My current pet project; Yoyo Weight Rings Through our discussions for the responsive yoyo, I ordered some different size O-rings from Grainger. This is a for Science Project. (Note- This hasn’t been a confirmed avenue on the responsive yoyo yet.) All O-rings have an Outer Diameter of 50mm. As the Thickness of the Oring gets larger, the inner Diameter is what changes. I just received the 5 sizes I ordered. I am going to commandeer my wife’s food scale to try and get weights for these. ![20230919_111910](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/9/9/3/9935939a210de088aa0ad790043488335741ba3c.jpeg) ---

I agree that those will add the most weight. But the “For Science” part I am curious about is the other weights as well. I plan on trying these in my SB2 and seeing if I can notice any difference. “Can I tune the weight with these rings to get the play I want out of the yoyo?” ---

I like this approach a base yoyo that plays great and then a few “options” to tune it the way you want. ---

I can say that with the proposed shape of the “Ultimate Boomer Yo-Yo” it looks like it will have a nice lip to fit an o-ring behind. So even if it’s not an actual option, with some experimentation like you are doing now, I think a suitable o-ring could be found for this purpose. There’s pretty much an infinite size range on o-rings. 😁 ---

They will be open to anyone in the club. We are still in design stage for the Responsive. Club voted to do that one first. I havent mentioned it yet, need to confirm with Mr. Jake once we get further down the road. But, I think it would be cool to have a “Limited” version Engraved with “Charter Member”. As things progress, information will be provided here.
