Carpfin

There’s something unique about this double-rimmed full metal yo-yo.

grooved H-profile, rounded with a double rim, the Carpfin is blessed with many unique shapes. The side face has a polished rim that is sure to draw eyes on the stage. Despite the slight roundness, Carpfin is pretty much a straight silhouette with a lighter feeling than you’d expect. The gap is wide enough without sacrificing playfeel, which is great for speedy and combo tricks. The price is even so low, it makes a great first metal throw!

Anglam Ver.CC

From an inner rim to an outer rim design, this yo-yo was built for power.

This version Anglam, the signature model of 2011 Asia Pacific Champion Christopher Chia, is the most stable horizontal throw to come from sOMEThING. This edition has the same shape as the standard Anglam, all the magical changes are to the outer rim. The great stability of the inner rim model is only enhanced by pushing the steel weight to the outer wings. This not only has the most obvious effect during Christopher’s signature horizontal play, but it has an amazing all-around effect on tricks of all kinds. For players looking to level up, or to create brand new tricks, the Anglam Ver. CC is going to rock your world!

Jet Set EX

This ultimate off string model is a triple collaboration, between sOMEThING, Japan Technology, and Michael Nakamura.

First originally released in a small batch at the 2016 World Yo-Yo Contest, the 2013 4A world champion, Michael Nakamura had a hand in its design, following in the footsteps of the JetSet EG, designed by Japan Technology’s Atsushi Yamada. The EX has gained much love since its initial teaser, and already established itself as a high-end model.

This version makes use a stainless weight, making the JetSet EX spin crazy steadily. In the low 70’s, it’s not a terribly heavy yo-yo, which means it’s ideal for speedy play. It moves as if there were no weight ring. The design was intended to be as easy on the player as possible, without sacrificing any of the speed and solid spin. Look no further for an incredible off string yo-yo, you’ve found one!
