Magic YoYo – SKYVA

skyva2

Jeffery Pang, the owner of Luftwerk, had a hand in designing this impressive plastic yo-yo!

Luftwerk, the company specializing in full-titanium yo-yos, has collaborated with Magic YoYo to create the SKYVA. Owner Jeffery Pang brought his material design knowledge to the table, creating a low-cost plastic yo-yo with impressive stats. SKYVA makes a great step-up model but won’t disappoint advanced players as a premium plastic yo-yo. At 58mm in diameter and 45mm wide, the body is slightly larger than standard full size yo-yos, but its weight is on the light side, giving it a soft, casual playfeel despite the power given by its large body. The result is both powerful and fun to play, and the more you throw it the more appealing it becomes.

A great yo-yo at a low price, SKYVA also hides another hidden power: its top-on game is phenomenal! You’d be hard pressed to find a yo-yo that handles finger spins as well as the SKYVA, thanks to its special concave spot in the center of the side face. Just throw the SKYVA horizontally and pop it onto your finger; the yo-yo will center itself and spin on your fingernail for ages! Check out the promo documentary below for more about this amazing new throw.

Pool Party  – Banana Hammock

CLYW owner, chris Mikulin has branched off with his own solo project. Banana Hammock is the first of his new lineup.

A new wind is blowing through the world of yo-yo, and it’s called Pool Party. With a new style, Canadian yo-yo maker CLYW’s owner, Chris Mikulin has breathed new life into the scene with this new solo project. With small, single batch runs, Chris is bringing a new sense of exclusivity to his yo-yos. This production model also lets him get really creative with his designs.

The first release of Pool Party YoYos is the Bannana Hammock is slightly on the large size in both diameter and width. It has an H-profile with a soft, curved feel to it that fits nicely in the hand. There’s an interesting gap in how it looks and how it plays, so we recommend everyone give it a throw and see what you think. With plenty of power and a fun playfeel, Banana Hammock is good for competition play as well as casual practice by the pool.

C3yoyodesign – M.O.V.E

A superb yo-yo, particularly well-suited for top-on style tricks.

Using the excellent cost-performance Level 6 as the base, M.O.V.E. is designed to stand out amongst the other full metal yo-yos. The big differences are in the size and the face. Although it has the same step-round profile as the Level 6, the other changes in the design add up to create a complete different feeling. It has the same long steady sleep as the Level 6, giving you time to spare to hit all the long combos your heart desires. C3 has also taken their know-how from the Movitation and applied it to the M.O.V.E., rounding out the side face to make it perfect for top-on (fingerspin) style tricks. Spinning the yo-yo horizontally on your fingernail has never been easier! Ethan Wong Wing Hang (the signature player of the Movitation and a top-on master) helped make the M.O.V.E. even better for fingerspin tricks, so you can be sure it’s no slouch!

Not just a cost-performance model, M.O.V.E. gives any player a tool to hit new tricks, and has impressive potential for high performance and contest play. Move it!

Japan Technology – Aire

The Aire is the updated version of Japan Technology’s flagship model, Kamui.

The Kamui is the yo-yo that helped usher in the off string revolution. And now, the evolution of that model is the fusion of many designs. Japan Technology has created an off string yo-yo that is even more easy to use than its predecessor.  Aire is the cutting edge of off strong design, and is the signature model of six-time US off string champion, Bryan Figueroa.
