Each cup is a mere 9.5g of 7068 aluminum, adorned with a 21.5g stainless steel ring. The overall weight is kept slightly lower than what most would consider the norm. Sago weighs in at only 65.1g to maintain an easily maneuverable and incredibly wild flow. When you’re ready to move, just say go.
FPM’s PinkPads provide satisfyingly snappy binds inside of the 4.4mm response gap while still allowing for ample string layering, and a 12mm axle ensures endurance.
Each Sago comes with a @ziplinestrings ZS.AIR string, TRT sticker, and pog. All packaged in a hand stamped box.
Releasing at our direct store and some of our favorite retailers next Friday (3/28) at 7pm Florida Time!”

Fixed-Axle February has just ended, and for over half of the event I was throwing a quintet of 3D-printed fixies created by Ardeus on the YoYoExpert Forums. Available to order through this thread, the Stroll, Stroller, Sprint, Stride, and Strider make up a family of throws that are quite different from each other, but share many similarities that tie them all together.
Let’s take a look at the specs of each:
Stride: 64mm x 28mm x ~44g
Strider: 57mm x 28mm x ~51g
Stroll: 61mm x 33mm x ~45g
Stroller: 55mm x 32mm x ~42g
Sprint: 62mm x 32mm x ~44g
Looking at the five different Ardeus releases, the Stroll feels the most like a center-line. It’s the most “average” throw in the lot when it comes to size, shape, and weight. The Stride and Sprint are slightly larger, while the Stoller and Strider are smaller. The Strider stands out as the heaviest fo all of them, with the Stroller being the lightest. Each Ardeus yo-yo is 3D-printed and fixed together with a either a 1/4″ or 5/16″ hickory axle, and has a “tic-tac” 8 hole response system.
All of these fixies play extremely well, and feel amazing in the hand. It’s hard to tell they’re 3D-printed unless you look pretty closely at them. The quality level of each Ardeus yo-yo is top notch, and you can tell a lot of thought, preparation, and care was put into each and every one.
Out of all five throws, the Stroll and Strider stand out to me as favorites. The familiar feel and weight of the Stroll make it a perfect every-day fixie carry, while the smaller size and increased weight of the Strider really make it stand out from others. Keep in mind there’s not a single yo-yo in the family that under-performs, or that I would consider not worth a purchase. It all comes down to personal preference, and you really can’t go wrong with any of these.
After spending the better part of February using all five, I couldn’t see getting rid of any of them. They’re all a blast to play.

I recently received a box from Freshly Dirty containing a Featherweight Canary and their latest yo-yo, the Fluke. After finally putting the FC down, I spent a fair amount of time throwing the Fluke, and it felt SO different from the FC that it took a bit of getting used to. This is by no means a bad thing, just a major difference in weight between the two yo-yos.
My Fluke is Freshly Dirty’s blasted pink colorway, and it’s so pretty I can’t keep my eyes off of it. It is a super organic shape, with an awesome design on the inner yo-yo to designate the “catch zone.” It feels slightly larger in the hand, and with a weight of 66g it’s not a rock on a string, but the weight can certainly be felt when it’s thrown. Now I’ll say the opposite of what I just said and say it feels light and floaty while playing with it.
So which is it? Both.
It’s so damn pretty
The Fluke’s weight can certainly be felt upon first throwing it, and when it returns to the hand. Otherwise, you would never be able to tell this throw is slightly heavier than normal. The rounded organic shape keeps catches comfortable, and you’re never in danger of hurting your hand with a powerful return. Surprisingly enough, the spin time on the Fluke is incredibly impressive.
The Fluke isn’t meant for competitive play. It is more of a laid back, go with the flow kind of throw. It’s got power, but it excels with a slightly light touch; with your pedal not quite to the metal. The blasted finish is perfect for grinds, and overall the Fluke can handle a large variety of tricks. It’s a great daily carry. Perfect for a chill afternoon with some tunes and a setlist of repeaters.
