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.
Rendered with both an old school glossy surface and modern matte transluscent surface

This looks cool! I like the fingerspin hub. What’s the MMOI for one half?
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. Thankfully, I asked them for existing yoyos that can be used as reference, and some design cues they wanted to incorporate. Thankfully I zeroed in on a design.
