Retch bought this yoyo from yoyoplay in a Team Losi combo; Cherry Bomb, Da Bomb, and strings for $10 USD. This yoyo was too light, even with the "weight rings".
He figured some solder would solve the weight problem. He had to squeeze it with pliars to make it fit.
He stole the bearing from his Da Bomb (well, swapped for the wooden axle), and proceeded to beefcake. He didn't like it at full width so both o-rings were pulled out. Making the gap about as wide as the Freehand's. He then put a brake pad on the non-axle shell for some responsiveness.
Then I went down to Sydney and suggested that since it was his fault for getting me into yoyoing he should give me a yoyo. I was given the cherry bomb. It's now back in its original configuration with one bearing and o-rings.
