Specs: Diameter - 54.5mm Width - 41.9mm Weight - 66.5g (with caps) Materials - 6061 Alu (likely) with PC(?) Caps If you put the enjoyment level of this yoyo on a graph, it’d be an exponential function where the Y is the enjoyment and the X is the age of the player. It...

Specs: Diameter - 54mm Width - 47.6mm Weight - 61g Materials - Damascus Titanium If you can buy this yoyo you’re in a different tax bracket than me. Consider donating your cordovan leather boots and Versace sunglasses to someone who needs them (me). At least it’s...

Review: Enso | Gear 5 | S-Tier
Specs: Diameter - 56.19mm Width - 50mm Weight - 66g Materials - 7075 Alu Body w/ Double SS Rims Cool yoyo. I was super stoked to try this at Worlds. Good too. Ticks the boxes. The general shape could’ve used a once-over to fix some strange edges and cuts though. Play...

A Look at the Dreamcraft Asora
