I run the greased up flat c bearing it came with. The only yoyo i have that I can compare it to is the theodore, which has basically the same outer dimensions, but a narrower gap. I do like the Theodore more for the more reliable response, but i play both just as often
Its fairly forgiving letting you give it a bit more slack than the workhorse or the theodore before it starts responding, which is nice for learning and not busting your knuckles, but does result in binding being necessary at times unless you really grease it up, but then you lose more spin time.
I think i recall tyler mentioning plans to get a d-bearing version out, which might help make the response snappier, so if you want a snappy response id wait, but if you’re cool with it being on the unresponsive end of responsive, the c bearing is super fun
So I forgot to upload this in the “What Did You Get in The Mail” part when I got it, I got this with my purple Plasm as well. But boy howdy does it match well with the YoYo holder I’ve got. Perfect match I’d say.
This is my Hello Kitty Butterfly XT

Same here. My RBC, PLTPS, Weekender, El Tio, all get more play due to the FS aspect. However, I did 3d Print some of the FS caps for the workhorse that @AudreySickburn designed and they work amazingly. Definitely recommend getting your hands on some.

Yeah - if you kept reading - I have some. Wish they were lighter - but put them back on and am giving it another go.

For some reason I didn’t associate “Andys FS caps” with the 3d printed caps. They do add a bit of weight, for sure.

Gotcha! @AudreySickburn is Andy. They are awesome and do some pretty dope prints. I have several of their creations, and have printed a few on my own as well - but not nearly as nice as when they print them.

Andy is sending me a waffle stomper soon and I can’t wait to compare the quality difference between their prints and mine lol. My PLA prints are ok but my PETG prints need tuning.

I doubt may people here can match @AudreySickburn’s prints

Sounds like I should try to design some kinda lightweight version of the caps, I like the added weight in 0a on the workhorse but for those that want lighter maybe I can design some “milling” to lighten it or something.

You have a great question on the Gap. I honestly dont know and cant find where we have that documented.
Stock is a 5mm D Bearing. I run a 4mm D Bearing and prefer the gap narrower. I will keep digging to see where the information on the Gap is.

From Mr. Jake - Operator changes were done, got rid of the wall after the undercut, and increased the rim weight slightly.
The ulitmate goal with the v.2 Prototype is to stabilize the yoyo a little more while still keeping the Shape and feel that we love in the v.1.
This is almost identical to what we did with the Workhorse. v.2 was VERY minor shifts in design that made a huge difference. It was very difficult to see the changes between the two designs on paper. Unless you know what you are looking for, it can be difficult with they yoyos side by side too.

Is the operator responsive/semi responsive or full unresponsive?

Unresponsive old school like organic yoyo with some modern tweaks.
It is our Full Unresponsive.
The concept of this throw is Resto-mod style. 2010 styling and feel with modern performance.

I like the Origen. MR85ZZ with an extra-large pad makes it dependably responsive.
