Just wanted to see if I could do it (make a metal looper that is)
« on: September 12, 2009, 01:53:36 PM »

With orings it feels very similar to a NXG. I have silicone drying in a few now. I hope they play like NXG's with silicone once they dry (my favorite loopers). Also those are FHZ caps that pop in the sides.

Not sure on the specs at the moment other than it weighs 49 grams.
Pics from Iphone so please excuse the quality.

personally i dont see how they could perform better then any other decent looper like NXGs or 720s but it is still a cool concept, and if you sold them relatively cheap i could see people buying them.

This was more of a personal project for me. I would love it if I made a better looper but as you say there are pretty good loopers out there already. As for selling them cheaply, I don't even know that I will sell any besides a few of the prototypes.

The real reason for making these is this. I always have a NXG or beetle on me at work and around town. So when people see me yo-yo they ask and I say I make yo-yos. Then  they always say, is that one of yours, referring to the NXG/bettle. I have to tell them no this one is another company and then they always ask why I carry another companies yo-yo around. So now I can loop with one of my own.

well it is a very cool project, its always cool to see yoyo manufacturers try new things.

keep up the good work doug!

I'm not the best looping guy, but they seem to play ok to me. They feel very similar to a NXG.

What are the specs on it.

As I said in another forum, I would love to try one and I suck at looping. Smiley
