That would probably be crazy powerful. Has there ever been a hybrid with **steel** rims that chunky? Most use Al, and the Iceburg only has very thin SS rims. ---

The MMOI is 17000ish so I think it would be pretty powerful. I don’t know of any hybrids that have SS rims other that the Iceberg but I am not the most well versed in yoyos either. ---

Design goal: Modern Hybrid heavily inspired by the Yoyojam Hitman I thought of fixing the high wall issue but not flaring out the design into a V shape as that would completely change the play feel. The low wall makes the shape look like a combination of the X-ConVict step with the Hitman rims.

The hub was not intended to be optimized for fingerspins but for laser engravings. It was also intended to contrast the rounded and chunky appearance of the rims. MMOI of a half = ~11,307 ---

I made a bimetal design inspired by the yoyorecreation Messiah. I have two drafts because the first one had lower walls that gave it a streamlined shape like the Draupnir but undersized. The second draft is closer to the original beefier shape. I feel like I want to be faithful to the original cup design, so I may revise these two designs again. I also wanna make a bimetal version of the Six but I am unsure if I wanna make it an outer ring or midship ring bimetal.

Design commission I did recently. Client gave the specs but didn’t have a sketch ready.

There has been a recent trend in the last decade of yo-yos getting wider. This has been a relatively slow trend. It is time to change that. What we need is a rapid evolution. Presenting the next leap in competitive yo-yoing: ![IMG_2145](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/3/c/a/3ca254758f6269d699a13c068de845e5af45a8ac.jpeg) ![IMG_2146](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/9/a/2/9a2c8f0ef6d4d52c294a3356d4e940d8b54cb349.jpeg) ![IMG_2147](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/3/8/7/387c495e9b89eab16437547c7ce816ed384b23c1.jpeg) With a width of 100mm, you’ll have no trouble landing the yo-yo on at least one string!

So this is just what it would look like if it was aluminum. I think that this yo-yo would be extremely hard to manufacture successfully and also extremely hard to play with and throw successfully. If it existed I think it would definitely be a fun yo-yo. What do y’all think? ---
