“alternatives”

“alternatives” is a Southeast Asian competition yo-yo brand founded in 2023 by Swee Jim Ho, a Malaysian competitor who returned to the hobby after a seven-year break. Built around a roster of Southeast Asian and international champions, the brand emphasises power, stability, and unconventional material combinations. The name references finding different possibilities. Products are competition-grade with novel constructions including bi-metal, tri-metal, and aluminium-plus-polycarbonate hybrids.
