M Ti
"The pinnacle of flagship models, perfected through relentless evolution."
- Development Background -
The mowl® flagship model, "M," has been the face of the brand since its early days, walking hand in hand with mowl®’s history.
With its rich variety of color options and derivative models like the now-discontinued bimetal "M+" and the current "M-PCS," the M series has continually expanded and evolved. Pursuing the further potential of the flagship "M" series has always been a crucial project for mowl®.
The initial design of the 6061 M weighed a hefty 67g. Over successive updates, the design became progressively lighter. However, the development of the M Ti 1st prototype sought to revisit the origins of the M series, aiming to recapture the distinct feeling the M was known for.
Guided by the concept of returning to its roots, the design process for the M Ti was shaped by the initial feel of the 6061 M. Despite this, the design team was concerned that a titanium yo-yo with a "heavy touch" might not be well-received, necessitating careful adjustments to achieve a balanced performance.
The 1st prototype was released in a limited test run at the 2021 Yo-Yo Shop NEST Pop-Up Store. While the initial feedback praised its feel, many noted it felt "too heavy," with comments about a "sluggish, tiring" play experience. Addressing these concerns led to the development of the 2nd prototype, which became the basis for the final product.
Unlike its predecessor, the 2nd prototype was designed from the ground up with a fresh approach. The design team's guiding principle for this iteration was simple yet ambitious:
"Let’s create the best M we can at this moment."
The most significant change from the 1st prototype was transitioning to a profile that, while maintaining the iconic H-shape, offered the smoothness and power of a straight H-profile. This new design not only provided enhanced performance but also ensured that anyone who saw it would immediately recognize it as an "M."
The widened body of the M Ti makes it suitable not only for casual play but also for competition. Its refined titanium feel, enhanced spin power, and impeccable balance reflect the culmination of mowl®’s history and respect for its legacy.
Experience the M Ti, a yo-yo that soars across the string with elegance, embodying the pinnacle of flagship performance and timeless design.
