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.
Wow, it has such stately lines I’d go with a roots name like Plaza, B-99, Park Avenue, or Esplanade.

Thematically, you’ve gone from a bulldog to a bull itself. Next step would have to be a Bullfighter/Matador. That would only work if it had spikes though.
A couple less thematic ideas:
Sierra
Zephyr
Japanese Demons
Raijū – a beast that falls to earth in a lightning bolt
Raijin – the god of thunder.
The Boxer??? perhaps
Well thats what i got
Spitfire
the e-quake
the side winder
” ROAD RAGE “
Flash
Frontier
My suggestions would be:
El Oso
El Bruto
León
Flash
Frontier
