Ikimono Yoyo | Tomo | A-Tier

Ikimono Yoyo | Tomo | A-Tier

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...

Kyo | Death Robot Mg | D-Tier

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,...

A Look at the Perpetual Motion

A Look at the Perpetual Motion

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...

A Look at the Freshly Dirty Fluke

A Look at the Freshly Dirty Fluke

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...

A Look at the Freshly Dirty Featherweight Canary

A Look at the Freshly Dirty Featherweight Canary

Freshly's Dirty's Featherweight Canary is a bit of an oddity in my collection. It is an inner-ring bi-metal yo-yo with a diameter of around 54mm and a weight of only 55g. It also sports a D-size bearing. Light and unassuming, it looks and feels smaller than it is. It...

Review: Caribou Lodge | Swan | C-Tier

Review: Caribou Lodge | Swan | C-Tier

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...
