For the CODE2, One Drop went in a different direction and picked one person who's dream to be a yo-yo designer would come true. The winner was Jason Rodriguez, and here's how he described his design goal :
"The rationale - I'd like to see the One Drop boys put out something big and wide that's all catch zone and geared specifically for performance, including 5a and horizontal play, but that's still comfortable to hold, has a solid IRG; something that integrates the side effect technology and starts with a higher base weight than has thus far been available with side effect yoyos, putting as much of that added weight at the rims as possible."
The CODE2 features One Drop's standard setup of Flow Groove pads, 10-ball bearing and Pyramatte finish. It ships with Spike Side Effects, with a base weight of 63.54g and 66.7g with the Spikes.
