The Hideyoshi will be released on Dec 11th. The idea behind the Hideyoshi, was what would happen if a second ring were to be added to create a tri-metal? The only way to find out was to make one and so it began. The idea was to distribute the weight in a manner that I couldn’t do with a single ring. The idea of lots of weight on the rims wasn’t an option, since placing 2 rings all the way on the edge made no sense, since it can be done by placing a single heavy ring.<\/p>\n
While I was desingning the Nobunaga I noticed that there is a spot that affects stability. It can be noticed in Nobunaga\u00b4s inner cup, so I decided to place a brass ring there. I then added a larger stainless steel ring on the outer portion to give it power, I felt this was necessary given the low weight. <\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\nWhile no expert on metals or physics, I learned by experience that some times reality can be quite different than the results on paper, and even counterintuitive. I was still skeptical about a tri-metal until I got the first prototype, and in my opinion it feels different. Better, powerful, and stable. Having designed two full production products, and a slew of prototypes, I can say that I am VERY satisfied with the result.<\/p>\n
Of course there was another probem, the cost. It would be a shame to release the first tri-metal ever and only making it available to a few collectors that can pay 300+ dollars. The design needs to be economically sustainable. A difficult decision was made to move production to China, some people will not like the idea, but I believe that many others will welcome a tri-metal for under $200 with the standard high quality product people have come to expect from Sengoku.<\/p>\n
Based on the prototypes, majority of feedback I’ve received is positive and say it feels unique. It meets Sengoku\u00b4s high quality standards. A result I can stand behind.<\/p>\n
The first run will be limited and sold at REWIND, YYE, La tienda del yoyo and Sengoku store on Dec 11th. $198 USD (3 units pre release available now!)
