So the cat’s out of the bag now that our YYE x YYWS Giveaway has come to a close.
The new YYWS model will be a complete overhaul of the original Capstan. We’re calling this “Capstan '22”
Here are the specs:
Material: 6061
Diameter: 53mm
Width: 40mm
Gap: 4.64mm
Weight: 62.1g
Bearing: D Sized
We’re aiming for an April/May release. As usual, I’m interested in community feedback. So without playing it - what are your thoughts based on the specs alone? (you can also see a picture of the profile and the artwork in the “YYWS x YYE Giveaway” thread under “General Yo-Yo”)
Thanks!
-Wayne

I like the specs . Not a fan of crazy wide YoYos . Looks like it will be a lot of fun.

Thanks, Chris. We opted for something a little smaller and ‘pocket friendly’ this go around. Think…“clyw pickaxe” sized.
Would you consider the Redacted to be crazy wide?

No redacted is okay I think a lot of YoYos are going into that 47mm and above width . It’s not a deal breaker for me but it’s just not really in my preference.

Slim shape…organic…d bearing…
Sounds like you’ve got a hit on your hands! Especially among forum users.
Congratulations! I anticipate good sales.

I like what I see! I’m a big fan of under-sized organics and of D bearings.
I like where you have the weight at right now, too.

Oh, completely unrelated to the Capstan…
…but a little birdy told me more VonBoom Redacted’s are coming this Friday.
Just sayin’.

I tend to go against the grain on some things… I love the specs, but I’m not a fan of the D-bearing simply because of the fact I own mostly C’s and I like to be able to swap different ones out if needed (i.e. they get noisy and I don’t want to clean them that day)
However, with that being said, the D-bearing is very good as far as play style goes, and a good choice in that regard.
Excited to see pics and get one into my hands, perhaps I’ll be converted to the D-Bearing club!? :+1:

We’re toying with the idea of shipping the Capstan ‘22 with two bearings, both D sized, but for this exact reason.
If one gunks up or gives out on you, you’ll have redundancy. 🙂
I look forward to hearing about your membership into the d bearing club!

Slightly Undersized D bearings are my jam I’ll defiantly snag one. Any chance you’ll do that same Tiffany blue on these? Love that color.

Sorry for the delay, I thought I replied.
We may bring Tiffany back, but for Capstan '22 - we’re going back to our splash and speckle anodizing.

It’s a great color indeed! I’m wrestling with the idea of doing a speckle or a splash with that tiffany color as a base.

That’s a hard color to pair because it’s so distinct I think black would be about the only way. A fade to black would be sick.

The specs look awesome! I can’t wait to snag one, if I’m lucky enough to get one that is… I love the way a D bearing throw feels and plays, my only complaint is that you loose spin time with the smaller bearing… It’d be really cool if you could use a C or a D bearing in it! Oh by the way I’m guessing if it’s D bearing there won’t be side effects in this design…?

Correct, we are ditching the side effect as part of our “revised and reimagined” concept!

Frieza is absolutely gorgeous on the Halyard, and will be nearly identical on the Capstan '22. Great choice!
