It's about 5 grams heavier and that weight is on on the rim. You can expect a big difference in how it feels and plays. The Delrin color is Emerald Heartwood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYear: 1991\u003cbr\u003eCity: Laguna Beach\u003cbr\u003eLocation: Club Post Nuclear\u003cbr\u003eMusic: New Beat and Industrial\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLaguna Beach is important and special in the history of One Drop because that is where the owners (Shawn and David) met way back in 1991. We happened to both be hanging out at Club Post Nuclear every Friday night and ended up being roommates and friends. It’s fair to say that One Drop started in Laguna Beach. It feels right to honor how this all came to be by calling this new yo-yo the Laguna.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat also started in 1991 was a life-long friendship. The idea to start a business together happened not too long after meeting and becoming roommates. It took a decade for it to actually happen and One Drop Design was formed in 2001. We started making yo-yos in 2007. “They” say to not go into business with your friends, and while that is probably generally true, One Drop is fueled by our friendship and it just works. Pretty cool!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first thing that happened in the design process was that we were able to buy blue Delrin in a reasonable quantity. Normally we can easily get black and white but other colors are usually really expensive and only available in large quantities. We jumped on it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe made only two Delrin models previously: Cabal and Cabal Gen 2 and it was definitely time for a new model. The goal was to achieve modern specs and proportions without using a weight ring. Because Delrin is less dense than aluminum, it weighs less, so you need more of it to achieve a desirable weight. The first Cabal wasn’t very wide so it had to be really thick to achieve the weight without a ring. By making the Laguna much wider and lighter (10mm wider and 5 grams lighter than the Cabal), we were able to achieve the correct weight without it being overly thick. This also allowed us to push a ton of weight out to the rim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur trusty physicist and good friend, Dirty Birdy, crunched the numbers and the Laguna is well into the “Dark Side” which means it has large amounts of rim weight and spins forever. The overall feeling of machined Delrin in your hand is always nostalgic to the old plastic yo-yos, but the performance meets modern expectations. It’s a joy to play.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSpecs:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cp role=\"presentation\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWeight: 62.35 grams\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cp role=\"presentation\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWidth: 50.55 mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cp role=\"presentation\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDiameter: 56.6 mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cp role=\"presentation\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStock Response: One Drop Flow Groove\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cp role=\"presentation\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGap Width: 4.25 mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cp role=\"presentation\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBearing Size: Large (C) stainless steel (One Drop 10 Ball Bearing)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cp role=\"presentation\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFinish: Pyramatte\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cp role=\"presentation\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAxle System: Custom machined inserts and hubs, 12 mm (“Cabal Guts”)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"One Drop YoYos","offers":[{"title":"Emerald Heartwood with Black Hardware","offer_id":55889143922761,"sku":null,"price":79.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Emerald Heartwood with Purple Hardware","offer_id":55889144971337,"sku":null,"price":79.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Emerald Heartwood with Clear Hardware","offer_id":55889145004105,"sku":null,"price":79.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1505\/7346\/files\/emerald_heartwood_black_nuts.jpg?v=1786642166","url":"https:\/\/one-drop-yo-yos.myshopify.com\/products\/blue-laguna","provider":"One Drop YoYos","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
