FYI @G2_Jake

I concur here, V1 was great, but V2 was streets ahead. (EDIT: I’ll be honest, my experience with this prototype can be summed up by this meme. Template because I’m lazy and working rn)

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/c/6/4/c64f9a7c2f1ea8710fa1bcfb5a9e766834d4fb21.jpeg)

To reiterate, long story short, I ended up doing ONE August but I switched to V2 from V1 and my experience has been much more pleasant. Idk if its the psychology that nobody is looking at me anymore or if the V2 is just a much more pleasant experience of a throw, but ONE July with the V1 had me wishing I could throw something else. ONE August with the V2 just makes me want to keep throwing the V2.

If nothing changes between V2 and production, I’ll be ecstatic. If something does change and it’s somehow even better, I’m going to call Jake a witch and try to burn him at the stake because the only way this throw could be any better is if it… Hmm, idk, made me flapjacks on demand.

I think we also need to decide if there is a weight ring pack in?

Lets start this discussion.

For a full set of Weight Rings, Like the ones that were in the v.1 were around $18.00 (That is with me buying them with the company resaler discount we had at Grainger).

What is the group opinion on adding $20.00 to the Yoyo for Rings?

i would make it an add on. if desired 5 bucks more add a pair of rings or whatever. we bulk order two desirable weights and send them to jake to pack in if ordered.

Not sure if jake wants the extra hassle on that but i think the yoyo on its own is fantastic and the weight rings are going to be desired by a subset of folks.

I’m cool with us adding a medium weight as stock and then having two other sizes smaller and larger as options as well if we really want to have a weight sent with it

my only concern especially if you get folks who end up with multiple is people ending up with a bunch of weight rings and never using them and finding them as just extra stuff.

then again i got two mod 44 with a bunch of rims and i love that so idk it wouldn’t bother me but for a normal person i can see it being a negative

I agree with this, assuming Jake is on board. Personally, v1 needed the rings. V2, not so much, however, I would personally rather have the option should I choose to get them (which, I personally would).

I guess we could wait to see if it would be a hassle or not as well. Like Megachicken noted, I feel like I used the rings more with the V1 and the V2 for me is great just as-is out of the box. Could also just make a note somewhere that “if you wanted to add weight rings, they are standard xx diameter o-rings”

I like the idea of having the weight rings as an add-on, if people choose to get them. Either that, or buy them in bulk and offer them for purchase separately.

The logistics is probably the difficult part.

Is the juice worth the squeeze and investment to “Stock” different size rings? My initial gorilla math for a 5 Ring size set for 50 Yoyos (Half the Club) =$900.00

The heavy Rings are readily available for [$2.99](https://tomkuhn.com/shop/weight-rings/).

Might be best to let people buy them on their own, then.

I think it might be better to choose 1 size to include with them if any at all.

I would only do 2 to 3 sizes a small medium and large and the large and small could be added together for an xl feel

Honestly, if this (link) was added to the sales page, I’d be okay with that. I feel like this is as close as an “add-on” we can get without giving Jake extra logistics headache.

We could handle a good bit of the logistics on our end but yeah if the largest is what most would buy then that link would be good enough

Also I’m fine with supporting TK

The Orings are 50mm in OUTSIDE Diameter.

Inner Diameter changes as the material gets thicker.
