Modfather's "Big Money" Freehand

[TheModFather]

So, I'm sitting at my lathe looking around for ideas today, and this is what I came up with.

A large bearing "Old School" (NOT 2010 model) Freehand, just sitting there in the package taking up space.

I then realized I got some BC large bearing SPR kits from Paul Yath.

Upon further hunting, I found some really cool pogs!

This thing plays like a dream!

The result......

wowowooo... this looks great!

[TheModFather]

This binds fine....gap isn't that much wider, if any. I'll measure it though.

Is there a parts explosion when you open up the yoyo?

[trevlor]

that thing is SWEETNESS! 

[TheModFather]

OK...I checked it out with a micrometer...this is what I came up with:

the gap difference is 0.080" (eighty thousandths of an inch) Not much really

It binds fine.....not loose or anything like that.

It plays like a dream.....very stable.

Bottom line...this thing looks great, and plays even better!

Hey big spendah!

OK...I checked it out with a micrometer...this is what I came up with:

That's, what, just over two millimeters...? Not trying to call you out or anything, but that is quite a difference when it comes to the gap. Especially when that difference brings it above 5mm.

[TheModFather]

There is a difference, yes....but I assure you it plays great!

I'll have it at MER if anyone wants to throw it!

[Mikers]

Oh, no doubt it plays great, lol. A bad Freehand 2 is like bad pizza, doesn't really exist. It's still gonna' get eaten. I'm just a sucker for small gaps.
