Making performance rings
Why make Performance Rings?
Performance Rings do the same thing as Turbo Discs, but they are thicker, provide more friction, and they last longer.
How do I make them?
Materials:
- Rubbermaid Tub Treads (about $3 at Wallmart, in the Rubbermaid section)
- A big blue paper puncher (about $2, found at the craft section at Walmart)
- A regular silver paper puncher (about $1, found about anywhere)
 Stick a Tub Tread into the Big Blue Puncher (may be a tight squeeze). Then you just step on the puncher, and a circle will pop out : ) [If you don't have or can't find this puncher, you can cut circles by hand with scissors, or trace a dime and cut with scissors.]
Next, you have to use the Regular Puncher to punch out the middle part of the Tub Tread Circle, so it will fit over the bearing. So you just put the circle into the puncher, and punch a progressively bigger hole, until it will fit over the bearing without rubbing against it.
Now you just peel the backing off of one or two of 'em, and stick them into your yo-yo! If you use only one, put it on the non-axle side.
