New yoyo needs a name
Posted on March 3, 2010 by CYYC in News
Give me a name!
Just off the lathe, original working name was the Whitewall. Somehow that name just doesn’t do it. We would love to hear your suggestions for a name.
We went a little bigger on this one, and a little heavier based on local player input.
Slight H-style stepped profile with some additional trim features to give this a unique look, and allows for lots of rim weight. A notable undercut on the inner aspect of the rim allows for easy grinds.
Here’s the specs:
Diameter: 2.1in or 53.3mm
Width: 1.6in or 40.6mm
Weight: 68g
String gap: 4.5mm
Bearing size: Large (.500x.250x.1875)
Response: Large size narrow silicone pad (or flowable silicone)While you’re at it, drop up some input on the colors in this post too.
Thanks!
Update: March 17 > Comments are now closed. We’ll take today to list all the names and come to a final decision later today or tomorrow. Then the first small batch goes to get laser engraved this Friday.
The more i think about it the more i like barracuda. Like the bulldog it’s an animal you don’t want to mess with. The animal theme is cool. It leaves lots of options for the future. Throw down the BARRACUDA!
Fandango, Zambra, Flamenco, Emperador, Del Prado, Bolero, Derechos, Hilado, Girante or maybe Hilatura
I say you call it the
“Heavy Hitter” i know 68g is not crazy heavy but the name has H shape all over it =P I WIN.
The Cardinal
It`s big and heavy… Stepped profile reminds me somehow an old sci-fi movies. Let it be “Photon cannon”
whitewall. I really like that name.
I also think The Doppelganger would be a cool name too.
The Loophole.
i think that yoyo name: WWE (White Wall’s Eagle)
The Juxtapose.
Specter
The Ax
or
Bighorn
The Cochino. I think thats spanish for nasty.
Mad Dog
Phil Spectre
Going with your recent names, and the slightly larger size, this yo yo kind of separates itself from your usual line. That being said, I really think that “Desperado” would be very fitting.
Wow, a lot of great names have been suggested! Keep them coming!
We’ll keep comments open through next Tuesday (March 16th). We get a small batch in solid colors back from the anodizer next Thursday, then to the laser on Friday.
