High performance is within reach! Speedaholic is an affordable plastic yo-yo that can handle the latest tricks that seem to defy the laws of physics!

A perfect step-up model from beginning to intermediate tricks, Speedaholic is C3’s flagship plastic yo-yo. The new version is a design overhaul that has boosted all the specs. The Speedaholic was designed especially for the “string trick” playstyle, with a pronounced “wing shape” to help guide the yo-yo to land on the string every time. That means not only improved performance, but that difficult tricks are made that much easier.

Out of the box, Speedaholic is set to “bind response,” which requires a special technique to get the yo-yo to return. This means the yo-yo will not return until you tell it to, letting players conjure up much more complex string tricks than with “tug response” yo-yos. As a result, the Speedaholic will spin for MUCH longer than an average beginner yo-yo, but it requires the player to have a little practice to master first. That’s why we call the Speedaholic a “graduation model,” from beginner to intermediate play.

The biggest change in the Speedaholic’s design is the carving of the hub areas, allowing players to spin their yo-yo sideways on top of their finger. While fingerspin (also called “top-on”) tricks used to be impossible for all but the best players, C3 has created a beginner step-up model capable of incredible top-on techniques! The design even re-centers the yo-yo, giving you a lot of support as you create the next killer horizontal move!
