Weekend (John Wolf Edition)
This bimetal model sports a 7075 aluminum body with a stainless steel rim.
Along with the Joyride, Recess released the Weekend at the World yo-Yo Contest in 2015, and became an immediate hit. The Weekend uses 7075 aluminum for its body, and balances the design out with a stainless rim.
Both materials used are known for their strength and durability, and might make you expect a more tough, hard feeling, but the Weekend has a surprisingly soft playfeel. The stainless rim isn’t just there for looks, it really improves the yo-yo’s spin and balance. Pick one up and feel what Recess considers the ideal bimetal design.
Those who have followed the changing trends over the years will be especially impressed with what Recess has come up with.

Firstbase
You hit the ball, now it’s time to round first base! This full plastic yo-yo is a perfect step-up model for beginners.
Great for pure beginners or old school players, First Base is the first plastic yo-yo from Recess, and it’s a doozy: low price, very stable with the option to customize the yo-yo’s width, making it a great beginner-intermediate option.
First Base comes set for tug-response with no need for any special tweaks, letting new players hit the ground running. Just adjust the length of your string and you’re ready to experience competition-quality plastic! You can hit all the classics like gravity pull and around the world, and even harder tricks like Brain Twister. Thanks to its low edge and superior design, First Base promises long sleep times, so when you start dabbling in more complex tricks you can swap the bearing out for the included Center Trac bearing. This turns the First Base into a bind-response yo-yo, and nearly doubles its sleep time. In bind mode, First Base is even better suited for more complex tricks. From pure beginners to more advanced veterans, the First Base has you covered.
Recess has no doubts about the quality of this yo-yo, and it’ll surely appeal to players of all levels. The First Base will prove a good companion for a long time to come.
