One Drop Warlock Yo-Yo - 7075 Aluminum - Will Prater Signature YoYo
From One Drop: The Warlock is a Boosted Wizard. The Wizard was the first signature yo-yo for team player Will Prater. It was a very large diameter 6061 aluminum alloy yo-yo with a very unique feel. What is Boosted? It is a re-designed 6061 alloy yo-yo made in 7075 alloy. The trick is that 7075 has a higher density so it weighs more. If we took the same design and made it out of both alloys the 7075 version would be heavier - we've done this and we called it GZR. The yo-yos ended up having a very similar feel in play save for one feeling a bit heavier. Boosted is a much more interesting idea. We change the design significantly so that the resulting yo-yo is LIGHTER! At the same time we try to keep the profile shape the same. The changes are mostly invisible to the eye but they are felt in a big way when you throw it. Our experience and physics (hi Dirty Birdy) have taught us that the most impact to how a yo-yo feels in play comes from the weight distribution. If you throw a Wizard a
