I’m curious what people think of YYR’s new Whizy system on the [Fork](https://www.instagram.com/p/DUazOvZgaze/?img_index=1&igsh=MXQ2aXJjdWowMDZ6Zw==) (Tag-yo’s new sig). For those that haven’t seen it, it’s basically a small slope added to the outer lip of the bearing seat to increase the yo-yo’s gap width beyond the bearing’s width (see images below). The idea being to allow for thicker strings to be used while mitigating the usual drawbacks associated (snagginess, decreased spin time) as thicker strings are generally better for slacks. HKMT are releasing a new thicker string to complement it as well. The Fork in particular will have spacers to let you swap between the “Whizy system” and a regular bearing seat. ![1000033204](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/3/2/4/324eb60d74322db3d59c2d99a5b19e768b1b81ac.jpeg) So what do people think? Anyone remember similar ideas being explored in other designs before and is anyone thinking of getting one to try it out? ---

Cool concept. Guessing it adds what, 2 to 3 mm of gap width? ---

Looks dope to me. I like really big gaps with 1A. It would be very dope if they expanded this idea and added two spacers so you could go no spacers for narrow gaps (for 3A), standard gap width, and then wide gap width. I like narrower gaps for 3a and it would be sweet if a yoyo could do all that. ---

Sounds like a lot of missed binds with normal strings. Fat string is the new thin. ---

the whizzy string was the equivalent of XL string so at least theres some tight binds from the wider gap ---

i dont know if this is ‘new tech’ since brands have done this before to get gap widths wider than a C bearing, though being able to swap I seems like a novel contribution ---

Yeah, that’s one thing I was curious about since I figured this seemed like something that people have probably experimented with before. ---

You might be right. Do we know the actual gain? ---

I don’t think they’ve said anywhere but I assume it’s no larger than a 1-1.5mm increase surely, as that’s already a very big jump given gap sizes are typically 4.5mm. ---

Forget the Whizy system but kengo helped designed yoyoempires sig yoyo with an unusual bearing system that doesn’t have a bearing post from the alloy body but instead made one from the custom axle for the size D setup. ![1003672304](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/8/9/7/8974bf32f7c22fb04ba860734ed4a6b8a80024b1.jpeg)
