Spinning plate INNE [Restock date undecided]

This item is currently out of stock. We are changing our production setup, so the date of the next restock has not been decided. We will announce it here as soon as it is.

Designed by “the master of plate spinning” Masa. The dream plate for plate spinning.

Concept

For a long time, there have been only a few choices for spinning plates in the market, and they were all cheap models for beginners. Advanced players have always been forced to modify plates somehow to better the balance, for example covering the edge with tubes to add extra weight. Now Masa, “the master of plate spinning” finally breaks through the situation. He designed a whole new generation of spinning plate from scratch. INNE naturally is the best plate for classic tricks, and furthermore, it opens up a whole new world of juggling with plate spinning.

Special features

*Patent pending

A thick rim around the edge gives the plate great stability and keeps it spinning longer. There is also a small dimple at the centre of the top face. With a hole on the top as well as underneath, you can balance a stick on it or hook a finger into it, opening up tricks that were not possible with earlier plates. The material is a harder, thicker plastic than that of conventional spinning plates, which makes tricks more stable. A slight flexibility also means it stands up well to the impact of a drop. The smooth matte finish feels premium and pleasant enough that you will want to keep it in your hands. The simple look of a plate has been preserved, and every idea is realised in a single beautiful moulded piece.

Design process

In spring 2015, Masa and PM JUGGLING decided to design a new plate for spinning. However, it was very hard to make a new plate from scratch on an individual level, so we talked with a local model manufacturing company, Watanabe Model Makers, in Wako city. Mr. Watanabe, the owner of the company, was generous enough to gladly accept the offer to collaborate for Masa’s passion. Thus we started our journey for the best spinning plate together.

However, it was not an easy path. Even when the design on paper seems ideal, once it’s materialized and juggled, it can be far from what we intended. Juggling props are so delicate that even 1mm, or a few grams of difference affect a lot. According to Mr. Watanabe’s advice, Masa kept revising the design to optimize all the angles and sizes. Not only the shape, but also the hardness and texture of the material were examined very carefully.

After over a year of work, the plate we had dreamed of was finally complete.
Here we proudly introduce the ultimate spinning plate, INNE. Masa, who pioneered a new world of plate spinning, now brings that same revolution to the prop itself.

There is still a lot to discover with this prop. We are confident that INNE will be a fascinating prop even for jugglers who have never tried plate spinning. Pick one up and feel it for yourself.
