Thanks to a Pay-it-Forward box on the YoYo Expert forums, I recently tried the Motion Perpetual for a few weeks. This is the 3rd Motion yo-yo I've tried (the other two were the Centrifugal and Parallel), and it’s my favorite so far. Something about the hybrid shape of...

Specs: Diameter - 56.4mm Width - 48.4mm Weight - 64.4g Materials - 6061 Alu This is the exact type of yoyo I wanted the ThruLine to be, everything the ThruLine should have been, and everything I’ve been looking for from OneDrop in a yoyo. Probably one of my favorite...

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...

Specs: Diameter - 51.95mm Width - 46mm Weight - 65.15g Materials - 6061 Alu (likely) with SS Rims I think a full-sized version of this would’ve been incredible. This thing just felt tiny and restrictive to me. It’s powerful and has decent stability for its size. It...

Inspired by vintage Russel yo-yos, Layer Infinity's Classic is a design I've only seen, yet never played until now. Using Kasm guts, the Classic modernizes things and lets players throw modern 0a or use bearing locks for fixed-axle play. Since the whole thing can be...

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...
