 Re: Introducing the Sovereign
So yes, the Sovereign is made out of titanium. It's looking to have about a 50mm diameter and will weight in the 64-65 gram range. Large bearing and flow groove response.
It is intended to be a great playing yo-yo and titanium allows for some really cool weight distributions.

 Re: Introducing the Sovereign
So this new Sovereign is a yoyo aimed at making the throwers purposely ding it on the ground?

 Re: Introducing the Sovereign
Consider this an anecdote, but from what i've seen from the one time I've seen someone spark one, there was less damage on the sovereign than I would have expected on an aluminum yo. Yes it will be damaged by sparking, but the sparks are *much* larger looking than the metal removed.
With that being said, void yer warranties, blah blah, etc., don't do this at home kids.

 Re: Introducing the Sovereign
In a word, yes  Sparks == material being removed == messing it up. Now, it should be less than aluminum, but kids *don't do this at home  *

 Re: Introducing the Sovereign
Sorry Jeremy, but I have to disagree here. Sparking isn't really a big deal. It DOES remove material, but very little. The only damage I noticed afterwards was small hairline scratches along the rim. You can't really even feel them. However, I also have 2-3 dings, but those are from dropping it. Anywho, it's a yoyo. You won't ruin the yoyo by lightly touching it to the ground and watching the fireworks.

 Re: Introducing the Sovereign
someone should post a picture of what the damage from sparking is.
do these have any kind of finish or are they raw? im guessing they have to be raw to spark, right?

 Re: Introducing the Sovereign
So, you make a yoyo out of titanium, then you purposely make it hit concrete? Where are we going with yoyos now?
It's a TWO in ONE yoyo! Do you love to yoyo all the time, but your depressed because it doesn't make sparks?!? Well, now you can do both! WIth OD's new Sovereign, all you have to do is have pavement and an attitude for destruction! *pavement and skill not included*
