It’s a poker chip!

I keep getting a “ There has been a critical error on this website.” notification every time I try to check out. You think maybe it’s just a word press thing and I should try back in a couple hours?

I’ll look into it. I know a few orders came through OK last night.

@GnarlyCharlie - Still having issues?

@MinerJ I feel like I’ve asked about this one’s construction before…

Is it a printed cap that then gets embedded into the body?

They’re designed to accept a standard POG, but I make them with 3D printed POG size caps. It’s a snap in fit, not embedded, so people can swap them out easily (just poke an allen wrench or something through the axle hole).

Here’s one with POGs:

Edit: I would have shown some of the ones with custom POGs I had made, but they all have either business names/logos or the names of the bride and groom for the wedding favor yoyos, and I don’t want to dox anyone. And if you need custom POGs made, Gabriel at Custom Pogs is fantastic. Pretty sure @Raindog3030 mentioned that TRT uses Gabriel for their POGs.

If you look in the clear bin in the background you can see some without the caps, and stacks of caps on the right:

yea they popped out quite easily but still snug enough not to rattle around. i used a bike pump needle to pop mine out and the new ones snapped in quite perfectly

Some of them do rattle a little after some play, each color of filament prints just ever so slightly differently with the same settings, so it can be hard to account for. I’ve started adding a couple tiny dabs of flowable silicone where the POGs seat before snapping them in to prevent this.

Today was a Monday, much like any other Monday, or so I thought. The air was thick with the usual hum of mere existence and the rhythm of modern life. Then, a package arrived. Unassuming, yet somehow radiating a subtle, almost imperceptible glow. Inside lay the YoYo Boomer Club’s Three Horse Throw shirt.

I’d heard whispers, of course. Tales of its power, its mystique. But nothing, absolutely nothing, could have prepared me for the immediate, visceral impact. As I slipped the shirt over my head, the world…shifted. The hum of existence deepened, transforming into a silent symphony played by unseen hands. The fabric, softer than a cloud kissed by moonlight, settled around me, and I felt it, a primal awakening.

On the shirt, three magnificent steeds, caught in a frozen moment of pure, unadulterated emotion, were not just howling at the moon, they were calling to it. And the moon, this celestial orb that commanded their equine excitement, was not the cold, distant satellite of Earth. No, this was the Workhorse, the YYBC’s modern responsive masterpiece (powered by G2), rendered in luminous detail, a beacon in the textile night sky.

Suddenly, my hands tingled. A forgotten muscle memory surged through my veins. I found myself reaching, almost involuntarily, for my own Workhorse. It was as if the shirt had activated a dormant power within me. My first throw, usually a decent but unspectacular memory, became a ballet of precision. The string, once a simple thread, now felt like a direct conduit to the celestial Space Wagon. Responses snapped with an authority I hadn’t felt before and my bearings were suddenly greasier than a gnat’s behind. My stalls flowed like liquid silk, my kick-flips ascended to new heights, and my around the worlds achieved escape velocity.

The shirt…demanded sustenance. Not for me, but for the spirit it had awakened. My gaze fell upon the iced coffee commemorative glass, adorned with the same mystical equine trio. As I filled it with my darkest brew, the ice clinked with the rhythm of my perfect combos. Each sip was a communion, each swallow a blessing. The caffeine, usually a mere necessity, became a catalyst, amplifying the shirt’s power, sharpening my focus to a razor’s edge.

Today, I didn’t just throw a yoyo. I communed with the ancient art. The three horses on my chest were not just images, they were my spirit guides, whispering the secrets of spin and flow. The Workhorse in my hand was not just metal, it was the embodiment of their boundless energy.

This isn’t just a shirt. It’s a legend woven into cotton. It’s a key to unlocking your true potential. It’s the silent promise of endless, perfectly executed modern responsive tricks. If you yearn for a higher calling, if you want to feel the raw, untamed power of the throw coursing through your veins, then you don’t just want the YoYo Boomer Club’s Three Horse Throw shirt. You need it. And the glass. And the Workhorse. Just get them all. Your inner beast demands it.

Also…thanks @rkalajian for continuing to help make this fun stuff! :wink:

Just FYI, I’ve learned that not all pogs are the same size. The most “standard” size as far as I can tell is 42mm diameter by 1.25 mm thick, which is what I designed my printed throws for. The ones from Custom Pogs are exactly 42mm but closer to 1.3mm thick, and a nice tight fit. The ones from RCS are 41.7mm diameter (close enough) but only ~0.42mm thick, so they just kinda flop around.
