Pheasant
Developed and designed in collaboration with spingear and players.
Pheasant 2023
From Yoyofriends:
“Pheasant 2023 is a yoyo inspired by the Japanese players. We interviewed alot of players in Japan and designed accordingly. This yoyo maximizes the ease of use and control in contest situations. It features extreme weight distribution, lightweight for maneuverability, stability and large gap width for multiple string layering. Giving player the most confidence in high stress combo and in contests.”
Pheasant Monometal
From Yoyofriends:
“Pheasant Monometal is our first flagship monometal. Based on the Pheasant 2023, we tweaked the shape by adding more stages and weight to create flow and a splash of fun on top of pure performance. Resulting a yoyo that can not only perform well in contest, but also a great yoyo for everyday use. We truly think this design is a standout for our monometal offerings and proud to call it a flagship.”
Peregrine
From Yoyofriends:
“Peregrine is an all-out competition yoyo is based on the input of every yoyofriends player. Every design queue is clean, simple and with one goal in mind, Maximizing performance for competition. Peregrine has a wide catch zone for ease of sting hit, wrapped around stainless steel outer rings and 7068 for extreme weight distribution, and lightweight for speed and acceleration. Peregrine is the pinnacle of competition yoyo that gives full confidence to the player at all times. We chose the name Peregrine because it is one of the highest performing Avian with insane diving speed and agility, which perfectly represents the yoyo.”
