Plamek shared this photo with me!
its his signature series yoyo from Hspin, the Phoenix!
after months, he finally got a prototype without engraving, imagine how badass it'll be after engraving.

Personalise your PYRO III
(Graphics layout of the "normal" PYRO III, available to the public after release in January 2011. The final version will be black with bright red flames and artwork. Actual colors may vary slightly due to normal variations in the anodization process.)
The first PYRO was released for Christmas 2005, it hit our community like an earthquake. It was a quantum leap ahead of other yoyos on the market.
The PYRO III is the continuation of the PYRO series yoyo legend. It embodies the same design principles, with a significant update to today's playing style preferences (including large bearing and flowable silicone response). 149 pieces produced only. Owning a yoyo of this batch is more than just owning a world class top definition Swiss made metal yoyo. You're part of a legend.
Specs:
Weight: 65.5g
Diameter: 52.0mm
Width: 41.9mm
Gap: ~4mm
Bearing: 13mm
Weight: 65.5g
Diameter: 52.0mm
Width: 41.9mm
Gap: ~4mm
Bearing: 13mm
If you preorder your PYRO III on or before November 21, 2010, you will be able to personalize your very own PYRO III. Put your own name, nickname or slogan where the engraving says "PutYourNicknameHere" (*). Maximum 25 ASCII characters.

HSpin Fall Sale 2010
Chris K:
You are a young player with limited pocket money, but the ambition to play with the best gear.
You have always fancied a proper HSPIN yoyo, but your girlfriend always thought you were nuts spending more than USD 40 for a ... yoyo!
You have been trying to convince your dad to buy one of those top definition yoyos, but so far the price tag was outside the budget.
Here is your chance. We are reducing the cost of our yoyos substantially to make room for new projects (*).
Those prices will be available through your favorite retailer as well.
Happy top definition yoyoing!
(*) Those new projects will "unfortunatly" be very limited in quantity, Swiss made and above $100.

HSpin V Shape Bearing
While we are working on the design of the next generation PYRO and the signature yoyo for Plamek, I wanted to update you on the custom-made bearing we are going to provide these yoyos with (see Hadrien's post http://www.hspin.com/webpage/?q=node/2810).
Our Swiss-made high end series of yoyos (like the two above) will sport large bearings. Not only that, they will also have a string-centering V-shaped outer race. V-shaped bearings are standard in other industrial applications, however, this size is custom made for HSPIN, 5x13x5.
String-centering bearings have been around for a while and in different shapes (Konkave from Difeyo, Grooved from e.g. Born Crucial, and center-track from Central Bearing/YYF). V-Shaped is the shape we believe in most (more pronounced center and faster centering... but let's not get lost in details).
Using string-centering bearings has an impact on the yoyos responsiveness: The yoyos are less responsive, and more evenly less responsive, which also reduces risk of snagging. In turn, the yoyos need firmer binding.
You'll love the new designs we are working on. Hadrien has been a tremendous support in updating the new PYRO and shaping Plamek's signature yoyo, prototypes for both exist as of this week. We are contemplating whether to ship the yoyos with two bearings, both flat and V-shaped, to give players an option, but that will earliest be in summer/fall 2010.
Keeping you posted,
ChrisK
