hspin x C3yoyodesign Antipodal Point Yo-Yo - 7075 Aluminum YoYo with PC Rings (Matte Silver Purple Splash w/Green Rings)

from C3yoyodesign<br><br>Hspin x C3yoyodesign: Antipodal Point<br>Global Collaboration! Unexpected Innovation!<br><br>Collaboration between Switzerland, France, and Hong Kong, part of C3's special 15th anniversary project! Designed by Hspin's designer and four-time French 1A champion Hadrien Bennaceur, along with C3 designer Ron Chan, this is a major upgrade after 14 years-introducing the "Antipodal Point"!<br><br>The "Antipodal Point" inherits various classic elements from Hadrien's signature yo-yo "Antipodes", reimagined with a 7075 aluminum body, a polycarbonate outer ring, and the heart of Hspin yo-yos-a Size-D bearing-combined with C3's modern design language. It's truly a remarkable combination!<br><br>With a small and agile multi-faceted rounded shape for ultimate comfort, the unique explosive power of Hspin's Size D bearing, along with a smooth grooved area, and the distinctive weight distribution from the 7075 aluminum paired with the PC outer ring, it offers an incredibly lightweight feel while maintaining a substantial weight sensation!<br><br>Specs:<br>Weight: 64.3g<br>Diameter: 52.88mm<br>Width: 46.52mm<br>Material: 7075 Aluminum YoYo with PC Rings<br><br>The following is the FULL STORY told by the main character, Hadrien Bennaceur.<br><br>I grew up near the English Channel in the north of France, spending summers near the ocean at my grandparents' place as a kid. As I was practicing reading boat names, one name, one word in particular, would stick with me for many years to come: Antipodes.<br><br>The idea of exploring and reaching the diametrically opposed location on the globe-the two locations being the "Antipodal Points".<br><br>In 2011, my signature series yo-yo from Hspin, the "Antipodes", was released. Unfortunately, all yo-yos came with "a flaw to love" due to production issues. Although we received many praises, as the yo-yos could be tuned to a satisfactory state of play, the full potential of the "Antipodes" would never be attained.<br><br>I only have one perfect prototype with me today, and I can't remember if there are any others somewhere in the world. That one prototype I received when I was living in Zhuhai, China, 14 years ago. At the time, I would take the boat on the weekend and go to Hong Kong, where I would spend weekends playing yo-yo, eating dim sum, and having fun with the C3 team.<br><br>The "Antipodes" was first played within the Hong Kong player community.<br><br>Fast forward to 2023: I tell Walter I want to make an "Antipodes 2". He tells me the 15th year of C3 is coming. That's how it started.<br><br>This is not the "Antipodes 2"-this is the "Antipodal Point".<br><br>Start from the "Antipodes" dimensions that felt so good in the hand.<br>Modernize the outer profile with C3 lines but keep the wing of the "Antipodes" for maximum comfort.<br>Move weight off the hub area while maintaining its overall design.<br>Keep the Hspin combo "D bearing + grooved area" for limited friction and fast acceleration.<br>Adapt the wing for a PC ring and increase the width of the yo-yo without affecting weight distribution.<br>Test proto 1 and validate for production run.<br><br>We hope you enjoy.<br><br>
