Initiator

The Initiator has been updated with an improved spacer and axle system.

C3’s first looping yo-yo has been redesigned thanks to the input from player feedback. The biggest improvements have been in the spacer and axle system, making it even easier to handle and maintain. Right out of the box, Initiator is a perfect fit for players new to looping, and by switching to the metal spacer you can get competition-level looping performance with minimum effort.

The new axle is much stronger than the original Initiator, made from a more robust material that is much harder to break. Thanks to this, C3 has also reduced the chance of your yo-yo gaps getting messed up due to a mid-air collision. As for the performance itself, it doesn’t matter what your level, or what kind of looping trick you attempt, the Initiator is a solid throw for players of all kinds. C3 has made great strides towards the ideal looping yo-yo with their new Initiator.

Of course, you can modify the responsiveness of the yo-yo with looping oil. Aside from C3’s own string, we recommend using Type 6 (50/50), Type 8 (50/50), or K-String’s poly 100% string. Although this model uses a starburst response system, it is an exception to the rule and can handle 100% polyester strings.

C3 Initiator Axle / Metal Spacer Set

This is the same axle and spacer system loaded on the new 2016 Initiator, and can be used for spare parts in case you lose the original axle or spacers. You can also load these parts onto the old model Initiator to make it identical to the new version!
