Squid Industries Squiddy-B Trainer – 5.20″ Black Acetal Unsharpened Trainer Blade, Black Acetal Monoblock Channel Handles – SQUIDDY-B

The blade and handles are machined from black acetal — a dense, dimensionally stable engineering plastic that machines cleanly and holds tight tolerances over extended use. The CNC machined brushed finish on the handles gives the Squiddy-B a more refined surface appearance than raw machined stock. The phosphorus bronze washers at the pivots deliver a smooth, slightly more deliberate rotation feel than Teflon washers — phosphorus bronze provides more feedback and resistance than Teflon, a characteristic many experienced flippers prefer for control in structured trick sequences. The nose momentum pin is an additional pin at the blade tip area that adds momentum and affects the rotation dynamics of the trainer, producing a distinctly different flip feel than a standard zen pin configuration. The dual rubber O-ring silencer system dampens the handle clash sound during flipping — a feature that reduces noise in shared spaces or practice environments where quiet operation is preferred. Neutral balance distributes weight evenly between blade and handles, producing consistent rotation in both directions.
