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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
Specs: Diameter - 53mm Width - 45mm Weight - 64g Materials - 7075 Alu Body w/ Acrylic Rings Undersized done right. Doesn’t feel like it lacks spin time or spin power. Solid little yoyo, plays good. Feels dense, though. Probably one of the most aesthetically done...
Specs: Diameter - 56mm Width - 43mm Weight - 62.5g Materials - Magnesium Body w/ SS Rings Man, I was stoked to try this yo-yo. It’s one of those yo-yos that everyone hears about but not everyone gets the chance to try, so the second I saw someone at my club with one,...
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...
