I ended up postponing the above design due to the design complexity, but here's another one I've made prototypes of in the meantime:
It's hollow, turned from 7068 aluminum, around 48 grams, and comes back with a quick tug. The bearing used is part MR85 (5x8x2.5mm) and it has a 12mm long m3 axle.

Re: Ball-bearing yoyo designs
I have been designing many yoyos in the meantime. Here's a unique one that combines some elements of spin tops.
I wrote my own macro to help support my yoyo design workflows: https://github.com/mdiehr/FCMacros/blob ... fo.FCMacro
Rendered in Blender, imported the model using Sverchok nodes:
Here's the prototypes I ordered for this and another yoyo design:
