I’d like to see the same picture, with it being an undersized yoyo I doubt it has any extra thin walls, but I would like to see how thick the outer rim is with all of the long spin time talk.

$199 and a hacksaw you can take your own photos

Hacksaw would probably break before the yoyo was cut through.

I’m sure you have something in your shop that would do a cleaner job on a factory reject half.

Most hacksaws are designed to cut through metal.

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.

Yes, but hacksaw blades are hardened, yoyo’s are not. It is not that hard to cut titanium with a hacksaw, look it up.

What part of better is tripping you 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.

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

[jeffreypang911 (Jeffrey Pang)]

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!

[N8dogg]

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.

[Big_cat]

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!

[Sanchez202]

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

[Sanchez202]

I sparked it for the amusement of preschoolers

[Yoyo_Kangaroo]

Has anyone had a case of DGS on theirs yet? (Death Grip Syndrome)

[G2_Jake]

@Yoyo_Kangaroo

Shouldn’t happen with Ti.

Nope. I can take bearing off with just my fingers.

[Lordbluephoenix]

Ummm ok. Does anyone know if it is safe/recommended/a good ideo to use flowable silicone on a Ricochet? ???

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.

[jasonwongzero (Anodizer)]

I’ve hack sawed through titanium and let me say… It’s one of the most painful, tedious and time consuming tasks ever. Titanium is incredibly tough.

[anonyo]

that sounds like something i would wish on the people requesting it.
