Got bored and and designed this. (pictures attached)
« on: December 29, 2009, 01:19:21 PM »

Got bored and designed this.  Probably would play like junk haha.  
Weight: ~67 grams
Diameter:51 mm
Width: 41 mm
Bearing: C size
Response: Recess sili
Response area 2 mm wide x 2 mm deep
Gap size: ~ 4.2
Matador spikes and thumb grind lip

Raised rounded rims sloping down into a shallow curve to increase weight on near the edges.  It is followed by a steeper drop that leads to a small slightly angled high wall.  From here, you hit 90 degrees and into the response area.  I wanted to minimize string rubbing, so the vertical wall almost immediately hits the response which lies right next to the bearing.  I tried to recreate a snap in bearing seat.  The axle would be a small yyj axle.  

I don't know if this would be possible to machine because I have no idea what cnc machines can handle and how strong this structure would be machined out of aluminum.

Looks alot like a Luchador as well

Not that its a bad thing, there are only so many shapes that will work well. Eventually things start to look similar.

 Actually, it doesn't really look like either to me. It is more flared, and has different angles. I like the width and diameter alot, but I too would like to see no matador spikes. I would rather see something like the Anti-Yo flat nubs. Still, if that came out I would buy it.

It looks sweet Afro But also fairly heavy. I would want to keep the matador spikes but loose 1 or2 mm in width.

67 grams is on the heavy side?  Well I guess i designed what I would want.

I like 67 Smiley

It definitely depends on the yo-yo. I've thrown 68 & 69 gram yo-yos that play faster & lighter than 65's

I don't think 67g is going to be heavy if matador spikes are there. well I like yos to be 65-ish anyways
