Titanium is pretty darn tough. That is why I said they probably have something at the shop that could do a better job than a hack saw. Depending on various factors, the titanium yo-yo is going to be stronger than the steel blade of the hacksaw. ---

It is not that hard to cut titanium with a hacksaw, look it up. ---

It is probably possible to cut through titanium with a hacksaw but it will look a heck of a lot cleaner, not to mention cost no customers their yoyo, if it is done on a bandsaw with a factory reject half. That is what other companies have done. ---

I have #217 Blue. Mine stays in the lovely case, no sparks 🙂 I got mine through Yoyofactory808, and have the pleasure of throwing with Alex and the rest of the great folks here in Hawaii. ---

That is what other companies have done. We had to have the Sovereign cut by a company that has a water jet cutter. Needed big guns for this. Hacksaw is not going to do the job 🙂 ---

Aloha Ben! Great meeting you at the YYF808 class yesterday… I was the guy with the plastic box full of yoyos asking you all the questions at the tail end of class. It was awesome to have you here-the kids were still talking about the long sleeper contestant at the end. Awaiting your return in September 🙂 ---

We at NSCO support anyone who turns Ti. I personally threw a YYF team member’s Ricochet at NER. That blue is something else, wow. Nothing plays quite like a Ti yoyo too. I really hope your next Ti yoyo is “cherry chunk rocky road”. It would be cool to see a C22 successor, something outrageous, no compromise maybe a little crazy. You know you want to Ben! :wink: ---

Blue/Purple # 164. One of the most beautiful yoyos I’ve ever thrown. Love the size and shape. It’s like the 44 perfected. Thanks, YYF. ---

Raw Silver #94 About the casing, while I think it’s a great improvement over the other cases, the thing that actually holds the yoyo inside the case is just a plastic cardbox, so that’s a bit of a let down and could be improved a lot for the next releases. I really loved the Ricochet, mine is dead smooth! Haven’t gotten the courage to spark it yet, but once I get a ding on it somehow I’ll do it for sure. ---

Just a question to all of you elite guys (especially Yuki) with the Ricochet: Does sparking affect the ano on the blue one? Does it rub it off and expose raw metal? I’ve been thinking of picking one of these up. Looks like a nice organic throw! ---

I have a blue ricochet and I have sparked it. The worst of the damage is scuffs. No gashes, no chunks taken out, the ano just looks black from it burning every time it hit the sidewalk. A little bit of raw metal shows, but nothing crazy. Mine is still smooth as can be. Here’s what mine looks like ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/c/7/f/c7f49335509b35003f93005fb63c274137abaae0.jpeg) ---

I don’t own one, but I don’t think it will affect anything negatively if you put some Flowable Silicone in there. I’ve seen quite a few Ti yoyos with flowable , so it should be fine. Just make sure you do a good job. ---
