From the One Drop website:
"This run is version 1.5 [of the One Drop Clique] in a Machine Finish. We shifted a little bit of weight to the rim and reduced the overall weight by 1.5 grams. They have a great machine finish.
The goal: Make the best mini unresponsive yo-yo we can using standard Flow Groove response and a standard C size bearing. A mini is never expected to play quite as well as a full size so we wanted to see how close we could come. This is the Clique [1.5].
The challenge: The reason most modern yo-yos end up with diameters in the range of 50-65mm is that anything outside of that range presents certain difficulties because play characteristics don't scale. However, these difficulties can be overcome. If you go bigger, the yo-yo tends to develop "kick back" and starts to move really slow and laggy. We feel we did a pretty good job manipulating the weight distribution with the Par Avion as it has minimal "kick back" and is actually quite nimble. If you go smaller, you will either have a lighter yo-yo (possibly way too light), or you add thickness to make up the weight and then the yo-yo tends to feel like a rock on a string. One solution is to use a higher density material as a way of "hacking" the scaling problem - the increased density makes up for the lost weight.
The solution: For that reason, we choose 303 Stainless Steel. Stainless is close to three times as dense as 6061 aluminum alloy. This allows us to use a lot less material, but have the total weight be in the range where it still plays well. We have also found the total weight should scale down a but from the standard range of 60-70 grams. For the Clique [1.5], the total assembled weight is 56.8 grams.
The finish is Machine Finish.
We are releasing them in small batches and direct only from our site."
