I saw C3yoyodesign announced the Radius release date to be 2nd may and i’m really interested to buy one. I also saw they offered both finish for this model (Sandblasted and Shiny).

But my question is wich one of those two finish is the best; what are the pros and cons of both finish.

Thanks a lot

I know sandblasted makes it really smooth but ive never heard of “shiny”. It almost sounds like a raw finish but thats just a guess.

Blasted finish will be “grind friendly” - “Shiny”…will not.

4

shiny = polished

Thanks a lot, I think i’m going to buy the sandblasted one.

I think it’s actually “Bead” blasted, but I could be wrong.

7

Sand blasted, bead blasted, soda blasted - It’s all the same idea.

Agree, make the yoyo grind friendly, But tend to make a different feeling also, IMHO.

9

Beads are generally made from silica glass, and sand is silica, so one and the same basically. Beads tend to be smoother than the sand used.

Yeah I understand that, I was just saying “it’s all the same idea” as in they all serve the same purpose - Providing a better grinding surface.

Not meant to correct what you said, just commenting that they are basically the same. Fine enough sand grit will give the same finish as beads.
