From Spinworthy:
“I’d like to announce my latest unresponsive yoyo design – The Spinworthy Flying Lemon
50mm diameter yoyos, particularly organic ones, have always caught my attention. It’s a size and shape I really love to throw. As good as many are that I’ve tried, they have never felt quite right to me. They lack a certain feel and performance that I’m craving for. The Flying Lemon is my attempt to create the exact thing I am after.
I knew what had to be changed – the bearing. C bearings are just too big to get the most out of undersized yoyo designs. D bearings are significantly better, but stil don’t quite make the cut. A bearings are better still but are just a tiny fraction too slim. Enter the 4mm wide variant of the MR85 bearing: this is the key.
The MR85 bearing is something I’m familiar designing yoyos around. Mark from MK1 Yoyos and I have released a couple together (the RBC and the Harbinger).
The benefits of the MR85-W4 include:
- Very smooth throw and return feel (greatly reduced ‘clunk’ at the end of the throw)
- Tight winds and powerful regens (enhanced further with the RBC pads)
- Good low RPM play and bind performance
- For organic design, the bearing takes up less inner wall estate, aiding regens
- Lower weight still allows powerful performance
- smaller (bearing) size means flat bearing negatives are significantly reduced.
I think I’ve succeeded in what I set out to do. The lemon is fast, spins furiously, stable and feels fantastic in play.
The colours will include Lemon, and Lime (lime green/lemon fade).
I love it and I hope you will too.”
