A Look at the Edition Forma
Edition's first-ever monometal yo-yo, the Forma, needed to be something special coming from a performance-focused brand. Known for extremely powerful and performant bi-metals, Edition had their own very large shoes to fill with this one. Did they succeed? Let's take a...

Alchemik Roentgen | Overview & Review
A Look at the Bandlore Bandalo:re
The「Bandalo:re」by Bandlore is an odd little yo-yo. Its width is larger than its diameter, it's capped, and overall, it's kinda shaped like a doorknob. Being a fan of odd little yo-yos, I couldn't wait to give it throw. Bandalore is a fairly new company, and...
A Look at the Sengoku Tengu
The Tengu is the latest Sengoku throw, and the first monometal M-shaped yo-yo they have released. It also features a ”hyper-matte" finish that they claim delivers a "one-of-a-kind tactile experience." Well, it's certainly one-of-a kind. I tried hard to like the...
A Look at the MK1/Spinworthy Plasm
MK1 and Spinworthy recently teamed up again to make the Plasm, a polycarbonate version of the RBC. This new version of the much-loved throw features a tweaked design that works better with plastic and is available in a range of cool, translucent colors. I was lucky...
A Look at the Sengoku Shingen
Sengoku Yoyos recently sent me a Tengu to review, and to my surprise, also included a Shingen in the box. I immediately set to playing with my brand-new Tengu and left the Shingen off to the side because it looked a bit boring to me. The shape was very unassuming, and...

A Look at the Dressel Designs Nimbus
What do you get when you combine a "cloud-blasted" aluminum with stainless steel rims and recessed, polycarbonate caps? I mean, you're reading a review for the Nimbus, so the answers is obviously the Nimbus, from Dressel Designs. I'm not really here to make this hard...
A Look at the Dressel Designs Oasis
I have never had the opportunity to play a purely stainless steel yo-yo before, so I jumped at the chance to play with the Dressel Designs Oasis. This throw is a mid-sized, D-bearing organic with a fairly large gap width that feels a bit dainty, though that could not...
