The Lead Balloon was an idea presented over on patreon when I asked for wacky ideas. This idea was a larger organic over 80 grams.
I ended up needing to give it some H flare because of the larger diameter. The larger diameter is used to help keep the yoyo from feeling like a brick on the end of the string with that high weight.
Specs –
Diameter – 61.1mm
Width – 46.65mm
Weight – 80.35g
Pads – G20
Diamond Blasted
Bearing – G2 Ripper
I talk a lot about the play in this first impressions video.
It’s really hard to put into words how it plays. There is no getting away from the 80 grams, but it doesn’t feel like a dense rock. It has a lively momentum. it’s a building momentum. I compared it to a old lincoln in the video. I am really enjoying playing this yoyo since it’s so different. I plan to make some size changes to it after hearing some public feedback from those that landed a prototype.
