The End Titanium

The following is archived from RSO’s website:


FINAL CURTAIN CALL

More than two years ago, the Mecha-Bapezilla gave a kickstart to the RSO brand (again, I cannot thank Sonny enough). Since then, RSO has made various iterations of the original Eetsit / Bapezilla design, including a few Side Effects titanium editions and 7068 aluminium versions (namely the End Part II Prelude and Finale).

The End Titanium marks the third refinement of the End CAD and the final time I will be working on the Eetsit / Bapezilla CAD. For the last curtain call, there are three aspects of the End Titanium design which make it the ultimate tribute to the OG Eetsit / Bapezilla in addition to staying true to the OG End design – the catch zone, rim and Anti-Yo nipple.

THE CATCH ZONE

Sonny and I did not design the Mecha-Bapezila to be a 100% replica of the OG Bapezilla. Instead, we aimed to “upgrade” and “modernize” the Bapezilla CAD but retain its original playfeel. We introduced a subtle groove to the catch zone around the pad groove for the Mecha-Bapezilla, which resulted in a lower wall. This new modified shape is more suited for modern play as it reduces the chance of string contact with the catch zone, particularly with multiple string layers, making the yo-yo more resistant to tilt.

The Mecha-Bapezilla was very well received, but many hardcore Anti-Yo fans craved the more old school high walled catch zone of the OG Bapezilla. I hope their prayers have been answered with the End Titanium, which retains the OG End’s high walled catch zone. Incorporating Doc Pop’s signature Schmoove grooves reduces the contact area between the string and the catch zone.

THE RIM

The rim on the Mecha-Bapezilla has a curvier shape than the OG Bapezilla, but not to the extent of the Bapezilla 2. From the pad groove, the catch zone of the Mecha-Bapezilla forms a single arc, which dips down slightly at the rim. Conversely, the catch zone of the End Titanium terminates as a straight line at the rim, more closely resembling the OG Eetsit / Bapezilla.

THE ANTI-YO NIPPLE

There was a limitation to how tall the nipple could be for the Mecha-Bapezilla. Keeping its original height introduced additional centre weight, which altered the yo-yo’s playfeel. Fun fact: the prototypes for the End Titanium had the Mecha-Bapezilla’s shorter nipple.

Replicating Doc Pop’s Schmoove grooves on the End Titanium resulted in the removal of more weight from the centre of the yo-yo compared to the aluminium version. To retain the playfeel of its predecessors, this weight deficiency was compensated by adding weight to the nipple on the End Titanium, resulting in a taller nipple identical in height and width to the Eetsit / Bapezilla. If you were wondering, The End was never a Side Effects yo-yo in its lifetime and will never be. This raw End Titanium batch will be the only one – there will not be further runs or anodized versions.

DO I NEED THE END TITANIUM IF I HAVE THE MECHA-BAPEZILLA?

Playfeel wise, when the yo-yo is in the air, the difference between the End Titanium and Mecha-Bapezilla is subtle at most. The End Titanium is only 1.5g lighter than the Mecha-Bapezilla. I postulate that the weight difference is less apparent because both are generally “heavy” playing yo-yos.

The End Titanium more closely resembles the OG Eetsit / Bapezilla than the Mecha-Bapezilla. You would feel a stark contrast between the End Titanium and the Mecha-Bapezilla when you hold them in your hands due to their different rims and catch zones. Truth to be told, the End Titanium is a more challenging yo-yo to play with than the Mecha-Bapezilla due to its higher walls, making the catch zone more prone to string contact and the yo-yo more susceptible to tilt.

The End Titanium will transport you back to 2006, when you threw your first Eetsit.

COMPARISON WITH THE END: PART II

The End Titanium was derived from the End Part II: Finale CAD. As much as I tried to preserve the weight distribution of the aluminium Ends, the End Titanium plays somewhat differently. The End Titanium feels “denser” and heavier on the string than its aluminium counterparts despite being the same weight. After working on various titanium iterations of aluminium yo-yos, I realised that one could never precisely replicate the playfeel of an aluminium yo-yo with titanium. So… hold on to your Preludes and Finales!

A THROWBACK TO THE ARCADE ERA

When Doc Pop and I were conceptualizing the art for the End Titanium, we wanted to go for an “arcade theme” as it was the inspiration for the OG End. Doc Pop’s initial sketch showed himself and Phil Cox playing the game Road Rash, one of the first games Nick Corea worked on. Nick Corea was responsible for all the modifications on the OG End.

Because the game Space Invaders inspired the engraving on the OG End, we ultimately decided to add that to the artwork. The box resembles an arcade machine. The engraving and accessories of the End Titanium features arcade elements many would be familiar with, including redemption tickets.

TWO NEW MINIS

The RSO family will welcome a new mini member in March 2022 – a boy!

The second mini addition to the RSO family is STARSHIP, an undersized version of SPACESHIP. Coincidentally, my wife was pregnant with our first child while I was working on SPACESHIP. Because this release is close to the End Titanium release, I am making it one of the lowest-priced RSO titanium yo-yos to date for the benefit of the hardcore RSO collectors.

STARSHIP is the only yo-yo remaining in the RSO inventory, as future projects have been put on hold in anticipation of my second son’s arrival in the coming month. I am aiming to fulfill all STARSHIP orders by mid-February 2022.

This STARSHIP run will be the last SPACESHIP iteration. No other versions in any other form or color will be made.

Not much has been said about the design process behind the STARSHIP / SPACESHIP in my previous write up, so I will chronicle my prototyping journey here.

ORIGINS

There is a long story behind how I finally arrived at STARSHIP, which is based on one of the prototype CADs of the SPACESHIP.

Like most of the other RSO yo-yos, the prototyping process of SPACESHIP was rather arduous. Being new to CAD drawings and struggling with the sluggish Fusion 360 made things worse. It was during the design process of SPACESHIP that I eventually caved in and subscribed to AutoCAD, which made designing yo-yos more efficient, enjoyable and rewarding.

SPACESHIP was only put into production after 3 rounds of prototypes. The whole process took a surprisingly short 4-5 months.

The first prototype was a 50mm, C bearing, titanium yo-yo. The run was unusually sizable for an RSO prototype, consisting of 8 yo-yos (I typically only do 3 yo-yos for each prototype). The prototypes were machined by Magic YoYo and sold in a private Facebook Messenger group consisting of individuals from a yo-yo forum in October 2018. The prototype had an engraving by Jason Week, which was similar to the one on the production SPACESHIP. They loved the prototype. I was ready to put the yo-yo into production but changed my mind at the last minute.

Note that STARSHIP is machined from a revised CAD of this first prototype, with some ugly machine lines removed.

Despite the positive response from the owners of the first prototype, a second, larger prototype with a 54mm diameter was made. My thinking at that time was that a mid-sized yo-yo would be more well-received than an undersized one. An Instagram poll I created confirmed this.

An Instagram poll which showed people wanted the 54mm version more than the 50mm one.

The second prototype was unique in its own right. It had a more “solid” playfeel because it had more rim weight, as well as a D bearing instead of a C bearing. But, to be completely honest, I didn’t like how it played. It was machined by YoYoEmpire, which was (at that time) the only machinist who had readily available D bearing pads that could be installed in OEM yo-yos. Today, you can recognize D bearing yo-yos made by YoYoEmpire from the white pads with a smaller outer diameter of 18mm, depicted in the picture below.

The D bearing yo-yo landscape has changed in recent years, with the usage of the ubiquitous wider 19mm outer diameter D bearing pad specification popularised by Freshly Dirty. D bearing RSO yo-yos like the aluminium Bowl Mini, stainless steel Bowl Mini and TiRAMiSU come with Landing Pads of this pad specification.

I went back to Magic YoYo for the third and final prototype – a C bearing 54mm version. I changed the weight distribution slightly and shifted some weight from the rim to the yo-yo center (notice the chunkier rims on the D bearing 54mm prototype in the picture below). The changes resulted in a yo-yo with a more desirable floaty playfeel. Apart from being about 2g heavier, the final prototype was essentially identical to the production SPACESHIP. The process from prototype to production was lightning quick because Magic YoYo had designated a CNC machine specifically for SPACESHIP. The final prototype was machined, polished, assembled, shipped to me, CAD amended (with 2g less), and production completed within a week.

Those who owned both the first SPACESHIP prototype and the production SPACESHIP preferred the former. Since then, there have been calls for RSO to do a run of the first SPACESHIP prototype. Years later, the STARSHIP is born.

A WELL KNOWN BUTTERFLY SHAPE

SPACESHIP / STARSHIP is a reinterpretation of the classic butterfly shape made by other prominent companies in the past.

The pioneer of this shape was YoYoFactory with the FAST 401k, an aluminum 56mm small bearing yo-yo in 2005. It had adjustable knobs on both hubs. By twisting the knobs, the player could adjust how much the starburst grooves would jut out from the response area, altering the yo-yo’s responsiveness. The FAST 401k was a novel design and remains highly coveted by collectors today.

Fast forward to 2017, A-RT made an oversized 63mm large bearing version of the 401k aptly named the 420. Essentially a “FAST 401k Max / Plus”, it had almost identical catch zones, but was devoid of the adjustable knobs.

YoYoFactory FAST 401k (2005).
A-RT 420 (2017).

RecRev made a yo-yo called the Bad Rep in the interim period, an undersized hubstacks enabled yo-yo with a larger bearing. It had a steeper catch zone than the FAST 401k / 420, with a smoother transition from the pad groove to the rim. The Bad Rep is the only yo-yo out of the few I have mentioned in this write-up that I have never owned or thrown.

SPACESHIP’s catch zone mirrors that of Bad Rep’s, with a smooth arc from the pad groove to the rim. Being undersized like Bad Rep, SPACESHIP has a bigger width-to-diameter ratio and visually different proportions than the FAST 410k / 420. The rims of SPACESHIP are also sharper than the others. SPACESHIP is the only titanium yo-yo of the lot.

COMPARISON WITH SPACESHIP

STARSHIP is only 0.5g lighter than SPACESHIP – this weight difference is insignificant. However, if you were to blindfold yourself and do tricks with both yo-yos, STARSHIP feels paradoxically “heavier” as the weight is concentrated in a smaller package. An example of what you would feel would be throwing a CLYW Peak, then throwing a Wooly Marmot 1 (essentially a condensed version of the Peak) after. Weight distribution wise, both yo-yos are similar, but this is irrelevant as both yo-yos are of different diameters. STARSHIP and SPACESHIP are completely different yo-yos, and it would be worthwhile to own both of them.

For those who own the first SPACESHIP prototype, STARSHIP is identical except that some machine lines have been perfected and smoothened out. If you already own the first prototype, the only reason that would justify getting STARSHIP is its brand new engraving and package, which is, like SPACESHIP, by Jason Week. More on this later.

A NEW CNC MACHINED CANISTER

The first SPACESHIP prototype was the first RSO yo-yo that came with a CNC machined canister, which costs almost as much to make as an aluminium yo-yo. The black canisters were engraved with the words “SPACESHIP PROTOTYPE” in the alien language I created together with Jason Week, and had the number of the yo-yo carved on the side of the canister. Since then, I have included a delrin canister for the production SPACESHIP (in black and white), Doombot (in red), SPACESHIP ES (in blue) and most recently Droid (in black).

For STARSHIP, the canister is machined out of polycarbonate, the same material that is used to make many yo-yos on the market today and the one used to machine the custom caps and rings for Gravity. In addition, the canister is translucent, which showcases the silhouette of the yo-yo within.

The number of each yo-yo is engraved on the base of each canister.

ART BY JASON WEEK

The STARSHIP art, like SPACESHIP, is by Jason Week.

The story behind the SPACESHIP was an impending invasion of Earth by an alien species called the Nactaria, with SPACESHIPS sent to Earth by another alien species called the Eljasek to protect the human race. Since then, the human race has successfully fended off the Nactarians and have brought the battle to the Nactarians. The STARSHIP artwork shows human STARSHIPS travelling towards the Nactarian planet.

Will the human race emerge victorious?

These Limited Edition Droids are the last yo-yos of the Droid line. There are two colorways of this final release.

The first is a “Droid X” colorway with rainbow iridescent stainless steel rings.

The second has jet black stainless steel rings and is named “Droid 9E”, a tribute to the black-plated BB-series astromech droid last seen in the Star Wars sequel trilogy.

The package includes the same delirium canister and accessories as the regular edition Droid.

The name Droid 9E was inspired by BB-9E, a black-plate BB-series astromech droid in the service of the First Order, from the latest Star Wars sequel trilogy.

Sushi

SUSHIHOLIC

I am not a sushi connoisseur but definitely a sushiholic. Like most of you, I would be more than satisfied with a simple pre-packaged sushi roll from the supermarket! My love for sushi stems from my fondness for Japan. In 2015, I proposed to my then-girlfriend on top of the Tokyo Skytree and attended the World Yo-Yo Contest. Fast forward to 2019, with a 6-month old toddler in tow, our little family toured the beautiful cities of Kyoto and Osaka. I am definitely going back to Japan when travel restrictions ease.

Japanese sushi chefs’ love and respect for sushi preparation are awe-inspiring. Often lauded for their culinary excellence, they are immensely passionate about their craft and spend years honing their skills. You would easily find a delicious sushi meal in any random restaurant in Japan.

I have adopted a similar mindset for all RSO releases so far. RSO yo-yos are prototyped extensively, and the journey is comprehensively documented. Considerable time is also spent on the story, artwork, engraving, accessories and packaging for each release. These add production costs to each yo-yo, but RSO has been able to keep its prices similar to (if not lower than) many companies who mainly sell bare-bones titanium yo-yos today.

For an RSO yo-yo named Sushi, the intricate details had to be absolutely perfect.

LET’S ROLL

Production Sushi yo-yo.

Since the release of Gravity, I have been brainstorming for unique shapes that differ from the primarily organic RSO lineup. One of the most coveted RSO yo-yos is the titanium Bowl: Japan Edition, which had a ramen theme. Naturally, making a second yo-yo inspired by another Japanese food staple was always on the cards.

This may sound ridiculous, but I went to great lengths to ensure that the yo-yo halves would look like they were cut from a sushi roll. The pieces form a cylinder when lined up together.

Why did I choose disc Side Effects (SE) for Sushi?

Disc SE are the only ones suitable for Sushi, as any other SE would reveal the hub and make the yo-yo look… “un-sushi-like”. A piece of sushi does not have a nipple in the center. Note that while disc SE fit the overall Sushi look, the same cannot be said for most other yo-yos (particularly V-shaped ones like Droid).

Moreover, it has been a long time since One Drop released a yo-yo that ships with disc SE. A yo-yo equipped with disc SE would have a novelty factor and would have some appeal.

The disc SE are one of the heaviest SE available at 7.2g and only come in aluminium. One Drop does not make them in brass for obvious reasons. Even with disc SE installed, the shipping weight of Sushi is a very delectable 63.7g, due to the relatively low base weight of the yo-yo halves. With aluminium ultralight SE (2.5g) installed, Sushi weighs a mere 59.0g.

Having a palatable weight is a fundamental requirement for any yo-yo. Caps play an essential role in weight variation and changing the playfeel of the yo-yo, in addition to their ancillary function of improving the yo-yo’s aesthetics. I did not want Sushi to weigh a hernia inducing 70g with the caps installed. With aluminium ultralight SE and the heaviest caps available installed, Sushi only weighs 64.6g.

Sushi is not a rim-weighted yo-yo, less so than Gravity. I designed Gravity to closely match the Freehand 1’s weight (65.8g) with aluminium ultralight SE, and the Freehand Zero caps (2.7g each) installed. Sushi had to weigh less to avoid a “heavy” playfeel. Each half of Sushi is almost 1g lighter than a Gravity half.

The magical thing about disc SE is that because they are so heavy and have a much broader profile, swapping them out for another SE changes the yo-yo’s playfeel significantly more than other SE types.

With the included disc SE, Sushi plays unhurried, controlled and steady, just like an omakase meal you would have at a top tier Michelin starred sushi restaurant. I would describe the playfeel as “floaty”.

However, suppose you want a quick sushi fix; simply swap out the disc SE for aluminium ultralight SE (not included). Sushi weighs a mere 59.0g in this configuration and plays zippy and light, and is bound to instantly satisfy your sushi cravings.

Don’t be fooled by Sushi’s squarish shape – it is pretty comfortable to hold. Despite its reasonably high walls, it has a generous gap and handles multiple string layers effortlessly. It is also one of the more stable RSO throws so far. Without having to consciously try to ensure that the yo-yo does not tilt, you can be fully focused on the gastronomic experience.

DANCE TO A DIFFERENT TUNA

The Sushi shape might look simple, but it is one of the yo-yos I spent the most time prototyping after Doombot and Droid. My insistence on retaining the cylindrical shape was the root of all the problems.

52mm 6061 aluminium Sushi prototype with a hollow construct.

Sushi started out as a 52 mm diameter aluminum yo-yo with a hollow construct. My initial plan was anodize the caps in different colors to match typical sushi ingredients (for example, yellow for tamago, pink for sashimi and orange for uni). I could do a fairly large run and price them low so that more people would be able to own an RSO.

The caps were CNC machined out of 6061 aluminium, and measured 1 mm at their thinnest portions. They were also made marginally bigger than the cap grooves, allowing them to be pressed fit into the yo-yo firmly.

The aluminium prototype failed miserably. The yo-yo was smooth if assembled without the caps, but installing the caps would introduce intolerable pulse vibe. It was the most vibey prototype since I started making yo-yos. The problem was that the caps were too thin and had warped during the machining or press-fit process. This prototype plays extremely floaty.

The solution seemed simple initially – just make the caps thicker! However, I could not remove enough weight from the yo-yo body to redistribute to the caps after countless attempts. In addition, the inherent cylindrical shape of the yo-yo necessitated a significant amount of material at the yo-yo’s rims since the rims extend outwards to span almost the entire width of the yo-yo. Conversely, a V-shaped yo-yo with similar dimensions would take up less weight (if you find it hard to visualize this, just compare the volumes of a cylinder and a cone).

Sushi was only possible with a titanium SE design, which allowed for retention of a similar aesthetic with caps installed. As much as I love how yo-yos play in titanium more than aluminium, there was a lot of inertia to take this route because the small size of the market for such a peculiar shape. Would anyone buy a titanium yo-yo with a squarish shape? I decided to bite the bullet anyway, ultimately making a small run of 62 yo-yos.

52mm titanium Sushi prototype. Note the different engraving from the production version.

The titanium prototype had one thing I did not like – its size. It felt large in the hand at 52 mm, and… wait for it… it was not small enough to look like a convincing piece of sushi (you must be tired of my obsession with making the yo-yo look exactly like a piece of sushi by now). The 52 mm diameter also made the disc SE look relatively small and not “fill” the hub.

Ideally, I would have liked the yo-yo diameter to be 50 mm. However, I wanted to make the accessories backwards compatible with Gravity and was constrained by the 48 mm diameter of the Freehand Zero caps. Sufficient material is needed at the cap groove for the yo-yo to be machinable. I eventually settled for a 50.5 mm diameter for the production version of Sushi, with the thickness of the cap groove measuring a safe 1.25 mm.

Before I put Sushi into production, a final prototype with a 50.5 mm diameter was made.

TASTES BETTER, TOGETHER

I spared no effort in creating the complete package for Sushi.

Like Gravity, Sushi comes with a set of rings and caps, allowing for weight variation. Due to the collaborative nature of the Gravity project and associated cost constraints, a full set of custom CNC machined polycarbonate rings was only included with the Lunar Edition Gravity. This time, the full set is included with every Sushi, at a lower price compared to Gravity.

The components included with Sushi are as follows:

  • Yo-yo body, 53.7g
  • RSO CLYW Slim / G-grip Sized Landing Pads and Yoyorecreation NSK platinum double straight C Bearing, 2.3g
  • Aluminium disc One Drop SE, 7.2g
  • Pair of rubber cylindrical weight rings, 3.6g
  • Pair of custom polycarbonate thin rings, 2.8 g
  • Pair of custom polycarbonate thick rings, 4.4g
  • Pair of custom polycarbonate caps, 5.6g
  • Pair of FHZ caps, 5.4g
From left to right, custom CNC machined thin weight ring (1.4g), thick ring (2.2g) and cap (2.8g)

The polycarbonate rings and caps were custom CNC machined to achieve a perfect fit. They have a slightly different design compared to the ones included with Gravity. The hole in the center of the thick rings measures about an inch, which is a hair wider than the disc SE and allows the SE to pass through.

The weight rings, weighing 1.8g each, sit just underneath the caps. Sushi uses the same rubber weight rings as Gravity and the titanium Silver Bullet.
