I am sure a lot of people who don’t chime in still throw wood everyday. The only real problem I see in Wooden Yo-Yo’s is that not enough company’s back it and the technology for what would be Wooden 1A is not up to spec.
Basically…, ONE OF THE COMPANY’S NEEDS TO MAKE A 55mmx44mm/65G (or so) C-SIZE BEARING YO-YO WITH BRAKE PADS…Then there might be more attention to it. And it IS possible, my theory is that it is possible to make an equal performing Yo-Yo out of all the basic materials of Titanium, Aluminum, Delrin/Plastic, or Wood, too.
