Will the flight be a good beginner offstring yoyo? I have been look for a good one and haven't really bought one because I am too loyal to you guys. LOL
Yes, we think it's great for all skill levels and are looking forward to talking more about it this month
And long is the R&D and testing process for a typical throw? Or what is the range of time from design to public release?
Sometimes years. Sometimes weeks. If we get to hangout in the molding house machine shop and make active changes it flies. If your production is 1000s of miles from you and it's a signature player further away it sometimes takes years
Right now...Offstring is done. Finishing up packaging.. There are 2 versions of a new plastic yoyo. One is close to finished the other in final art stages. There is a top. There are atleast 6 metal YoYos in various stages of prototyping, a couple of them bi-metal. There are 2 seasonal collections on order, which means almost finishedThat will get us till like October....
I like the classic shape of the ricochet. But feel it could sacrifice proformance. If they walls were brought out a little bit "like the cypher for instance" I would drop $200 without thinking twice. I like classic O-shape. But there is a reason modern yoyos are shaped like they are.
Stock in stores has just about all gone. We have plans for FALL and will look at the market mid-summer to see if we can try again.
