My idea for this yoyo came about at the beginning of last year as a project for my CAD class in high school. After working on it for a while tweaking things here and there I tried to get a local machine shop to assist with the production of a prototype but the operation fell short somewhere along the line.

Now here I am 6 months later with the idea again presenting it as an entry to the CODE two project!

My idea is to create and undersized throw that is comfortable to the hand and does not have a radical h shape. At the same time I would like it to keep a strong focus on stability with the outer rims act as a strong weight point.

Weight: 65grams
After a long while tweaking minor dimensions I came out with a weight that is a good midpoint for yoyos. I feel that this 65 gram range is a good stable weight while still giving a minor float that makes playing with it fun.

Diameter: 39.57mm
At this point most people are going what?! A yoyo that is less than 2 inches in diameter??! Yes, I still feel that this diameter is a bit small for the liking of a lot of people which is why I am open for suggestions in this area. I really like having a small undersized yoyo that is around 2 inches, 1.6 still feels rather small to me. Give me your thoughts!

Width: 44.45mm
This width is a little wider than your average throw but it seems to lay well in the hand with your middle finger laying nicely in the sloped profile. My width for this yoyo was inspired a lot by the DTI Bass Boost which I still love to death for the feel in my hand. Once again I am open to any suggestions about the width!

Gap Width: 6.35mm
The gap in this yoyo was created based on my other yoyos and how well the response was. I think that this is a good gap width but it may need to be changed or even sloped rather than strait down to maximize the binding response while maintaining unresponsive play.

Random figures:
This yoyo has an inner lip that can be used for rim grinds and as for arm grinds the width is ideal to keep it stable and in control when you decide to throw a crazy grind combo. As you can se from the pictures (below) the yoyo was not originally designed for the One Drop Side Effects. Instead it was based off of my favorite point that was designed by CLYW. This can be changed and in fact will be changed to be compatible with the Side Effects if the yoyo makes it through. Also on the note of Side Effects, the yoyos 65 gram weight seems great to go with the side effects because the middle ground weight combined with this system allows for both extremes (light and heavy) while still being in the middle!
Now for the pics!

As for now this is my starting idea. Please feel free to leave your comments, questions, and suggestions to my entry bellow!

It is a very interesting mini superwide design. The only thing i worry about is that gap, 0.25 inches translates to 6.35mm. A gap that size sounds like it might be a little too loose and cause the player to slip binds. Other than the gap it looks like an extremely unique design. Has me intrigued and wanting to know how it would perform.

Sorry, my mind functions under the metric system so I had to convert.

Diameter: 39.5732mm (Wow, this is small!)
Width: 50.165mm (Wow, that is wide)
Gap Width: 6.35mm (Is this possible? Isn't a bearing 5mm in width?)

Still, I would love to play with this. I'm really curious how this would play.

haha sorry for the inches thing... its the defualt on my program so thats what it turned out to be. Thanks for converting the measurments. Yeah the bearing seat is still an issue for me because im not sure what the gap would need to be, the bottom line is that it needs to be smaller though. It would also be better if the diameter was brought up to about the 2 inch mark. I will get to work on that!

UPDATE!!!!!

After sleeping on the design again i woke up feeling like something was wong so i hit the plans to figure it out. Then it hit me. The measurment of the width was WAY off. for some reason when converting it got messed up. anyway:

THE REAL WIDTH: 44.45mm
for comparison this is slightly larger than a gnarwhal

Also i have been thinking. Would it be cool to have the inside slope like the code1 with groves? I think it would jazz it up a bit!

I am loving this design! I want one!

This is probably my favorite entry so far that is actually feasible.
