 Back at the board
Back at the CAD board doing some new ideas. 2012 will be a fun year. Team is pumped, and we might take on a new thrower.

 Re: Back at the board
ON TOPIC: I am psyched to see what the General has in store. I love the Entheos. I can see the stealth inspiration in the design at work every time I play it. The string, like radar on a military jet, is just deflected aside on my many imperfect loops and boingy-boing's; leaving the yoyo steady and unfazed to zip through the next trick. Nice idea.
Looking at the product line to date; dare we hope for a larger, oversized throw? Whatever it is - I eagerly look forward to anything from Ernie.
OFF TOPIC: I gotta go with the Indy's. The Bennetts lost me when I snapped my third or fourth plastic baseplate. By the time they introduced a metal one - I was gone. Taught me LOTS about product marketing and customer psychology though.

 Re: Back at the board
The design is finalized and material has been ordered. I hope to have a proto in a couple weeks. I will post a pic as soon as I am holding it. Full size, v shape, no wall, 99% catch zone. I worked close with my team and friends to produce what is need by Gen -Yo. If all goes as planned, I hope to have pre-pros at Cal-Staes. Hoping for the best, but the machine shop world does throw curves.
