I'm sure they would spark if they were ano'd, but that would make it ugly...
On string burn live(awesome show.) this morning in the review for it they said that it grinds well for a raw yoyo. And honestly I have no idea if soda blasting would even do anything much to titanium...

thats what i was guessing. but i think sodablasting would be cool cause it should still spark then. i dont know if the soda would have much of an effect on Ti though and sodablasting would also raise the price.






i quoted you on that one :P

Yeah the dingo does look really sweet, is it more so a micro yoyo (due to it being smaller then mini/undersized throws)?

Like where would it fit into my mini yoyo collection? haha I just really like little yoyos, I find them to play easier for me and they are awesome in for the chopsticks.

But yeah I think may have to get a sovereign for sure but cash flow will be an issue on hand..

I don't have the specs for those.

We did a similar thing and it falls between a Mini Dert and an M1. It's bigger than any other mini we've come across but its smaller than undersized yoyos.

We actually picked the diameter with all this in mind. We wanted to hit a range that really hadn't been done.

It is NOT a replacement for the M1. It is a pocket sized mini that plays great for the size.

Oops sorry, and this is an older pic and I didn't feel like taking a new one where the yoyos were more visible haha

starting from the right
YYF Mighty Flea, Alchemy CU, Duncan Keychain Freehand, YYF G.5, YYJ Mini Motu, Anti-yo Busine$$, then a YYJ BigYo2

But yeah I remembered too that you probably wouldn't have the specs, and I haven't played with the baby dert but it sounds like it would be around the size of the YYF G.5 maybe?
