We realized that goal by utilizing a large diameter, which in combination with a narrow width creates more centrifugal force. It was a hit, a pocketable slimline that didn’t pull your pants down and played like a real yo-yo instead of a novelty. We followed it up with the Slappa SS, a 1:1 bimetal version that drew inspiration from my childhood favorite the H-Spin Good \u0026amp; Evil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eA year ago almost to this day, my oldest friend and yo-yo life partner Randy Shreeves visited and tried out the Slappa SS. He loved it and offhandedly commented how it would be cool if it had a smaller diameter, the same size as his (our) longtime favorite, the Anti-Yo Bapezilla.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThat was all it took and within a few months we had prototypes of an undersized Slappa SS, dubbed Slap Jr.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eSlap Jr retains the same light weight and slim diameter of its predecessors but shrinks the diameter from ~58 mm to 52 mm. In order to keep the weight up while shrinking the size, Jameson fattened the SS rims and at the same time inadvertently created a rather unique scenario in yo-yo design: Slap Jr’s rims weigh more than the yo-yo’s entire aluminum body and guts combined. It’s literally majority rim weight, and it shows when you throw it.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jake Bullock","offers":[{"title":"Silver w\/ Rainbow Rims","offer_id":46683332575422,"sku":"JAKE_SLAJUN-01","price":93.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pink w\/ Gray Rims","offer_id":46683332608190,"sku":"JAKE_SLAJUN-02","price":93.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Orange w\/ Light Gray Rims","offer_id":46683332706494,"sku":"JAKE_SLAJUN-03","price":93.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0748\/4967\/files\/SlapJunior_ICON_1d1a96da-36de-47d1-a8df-fb56aea3e0e1.jpg?v=1778876144","url":"https:\/\/yoyoexpert.com\/products\/slap-junior-yo-yo-by-jake-bullock","provider":"YoYoExpert","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
