Man I have not seriously picked up an unresponsive for like a while now…
I have been pickup up an unres occasionally but not as often these last few months
@yoyospirit will make you some for $$
I’d like a laid back unresponsive. Something that plays slow, flow, and works with a lighter throw.
Mental notes from the first time we discussed it.
Full size diameter. 55-56
Slightly slimline. 42-43
Tighter gap 4-4.2
Mid wall with schmoove.

Very much a throwback style yo-yo.
Not a modernized organic.
Only a prototype. Working on a half spec bearing so it can be played responsive as well.

My apologies. I just couldn’t help myself.
I really like old school for its kickflipability (<<<new word, get at me Miriam-Webster).
How do the boomers feel about slightly higher than mid walls?
Go play the workhorse
Good point. Haha. It is one of my favorite UNresponsives. Konkave bearing, a couple 0.1mm shims, and some weight rings is all it takes to have the most pocketable retro unresponsive. Highly recommend.
V2 color will be up to those that grab one.
i like this blue. i had an old ford in this blue. also we need to bring back wood paneling.
That’s what the string is for!
i meant on cars but yes the wood wagon something string is aesthetically the wood panel of the workhorse.
^Oh, I meant hold your beat-up old wagon together with string…^
What’s great is…if you go back to the original inspiration for the wood panels, it was a merging of the skills of older carriage builders into the automobile design and these were essentially wooden carriages on top of an automobile chassis. I have found that many things have very interesting origins. And some of us have very interesting Origens too. ![]()
Since y’all are into this responsive thing then how about modified beefcake? Then you only need to remove a half spec to get instant responsive. Jmtc
I am kind of surprised we are not seeing more “Wish Lists” for the Club Unresponsive Yoyo.
i gave my oversized round idea for free you want more ideas… gosh i got to start charging for my time.
If we aren’t going oversized then lets go undersized not much more in the realm of the “mini” freehand area. mid wall a schmoove groove or two and double rims. give me something fun and challenging.
keep it a mono metal cause i dont have all the money in the world and rings just add cost. also if we like the idea we can play with rings and materials later for a v2.
if we go undersized i really like the idea of a d or heck make it an A bearing lets go small bearing with it and make it a flat bearing if we want a groove we can find a grooved bearing.
for the cup give it mini spikes honestly. i want the cup mostly open and not a massive amount of center weight just enough to keep it balanced but powerful. that might be impossible at a smaller size but those are my dumb thoughts on a unres from someone who isn’t super skilled in unres play so take it as you want to
I like the idea of being able to add weight rings, like with the Workhorse. I tossed some of those fatties in my Pilgrim and WHOOBOY.
Spikes are also rad because spikes.
I’d love an oversized throw.
I’d also love a pet Capybara.
