Pulsefire Yoyo

So I saw Tyler Hsieh posted some yoyos he made in the B/S/T yoyo group in Facebook, and was thinking of asking him more about it to see if I could post anything useful for those who may be interested in getting one. Here's the whole conversation we had.

  hi

  i would like to know more to see if i can blog anything about it.
• 2:12pm

  Tyler Hsieh

• 2:28pm

  Jayson Lim

  ok
• 2:31pm

  Tyler Hsieh

  hey im back

  so

  here is the story of the pulsefire

  when i first made the pulsefire, i was interested in making a yoyo that would feel neutral, and perfect for competing, where every input would respond correctly and put out the output that you want it

  so for that, i wanted it to be very stable, yet be able to change axis at will

  long spin, and light

  all the parts must be the best, so i chose a 10 ball kk bearing with groove, and IR pad

  and the pulsefire was born

  if you want pictures, pulsefire.tictail.com has those pictures.

  i then wanted to push the boundaries even more, where regular unimetal yoyos couldn't do that

  so i added on the most reasonable yet aggressive rim weighting, which is the stainless steel pulsefire.

  the yoyo plays a bit heftier, but the ease of control is still there, with all the same concepts

  Jayson Lim

  that's pretty informative for a quick intro
• 2:36pm

  Tyler Hsieh

  haha

  but thats about it

  and right now the regular unimetal one

  is 55 dollars for anodized and 50 for raw
• Jayson Lim

  if you don't mind i'll probably copy and paste everything here to the blog.and the price hasn't been set for the stainless steel one

  Tyler Hsieh yeah no problem
• 2:37pm

  Jayson Lim

  so pulsefire is the name of the yoyo

  no company name yet?
• 2:37pm

  Tyler Hsieh

  well it was kind of a crucial endorsed product

  and i made it with the approval of paul
