The Fusion is a collaboration yo-yo between Damian Puckett and Dressel Designs. It features a comfortable profile shape and the most complex ring design on the market (for its time)! The hanging ring allowed for placement of more rim weight to help create the most powerful and stable yoyo for this shape!
Fusion w/Brass Rings
In June of 2022 Dressel Designs released a version of the Fusion with Brass rings instead of Stainless Steel. This added another 2g to the overall weight of the Fusion.
“Our goal was to take a sub optimal shape for performance, and fuse as much performance into it as we can. It’s been given the nickname “Slimline Draupnir” by those who have been able to try it because of its unique play experience.
To avoid packing on endless rim weight, we decided to design the Kanto around the idea of making the weight, diameter and width add up to 151 as a tribute to the original 151 pokemon, and with 6061 aluminum to make it affordable for everyone. This made us get creative with the shape and design of the yoyo, most specifically with the schmoove groove portion of the profile. A tiny “bump” at the edge of the schmoove acts as another way to reduce tilting friction and keep the string centered with a comfy organic shape that is just so fun to play!”
“The design for the 5050 came about from a love of mid-school organics like the 888 and Hatrick with the idea of accomplishing 2 things in the process; getting rid of the “rock” feeling that plagues most undersized throws and making it very easy to play and catch. He took the diameter of most throws from that mid-school and made it 1to1 after enjoying a smaller ultrawide yoyo called the qubit for a bit.
The light weight makes the 5050 easy to throw for a long time and brings a joyful and zippy presence that usually isn’t felt with smaller yoyos.
It’s surprisingly stable for its shape and size and the D bearing takes everything you love about organics and brings it to the next level!”
“When creating the Assassin the goal was to keep the spirit of their previous 5050 release alive in a smaller, pocketable, and more serious design. The stainless steel gives it a unique and premium feel in the hand and on the string without a premium price tag. The organic profile is still front and forward, but with an opening in the gap that reduces friction and adds stability without compromising any comfort or fun. The D bearing adds to the unique feel and gives you a tight bind every time with impressive spin power.
The Assassin is the last EDC yoyo you will ever need. Perfect to play anywhere with a blend of comfort and performance you won’t find even in your most competition focused throws!”
