Magic YoYo – SKYVA,
Jeffery Pang, the owner of Luftwerks, had a hand in designing this impressive plastic yo-yo!
Luftwerks, 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.
*small black specs may be visible in the body material, these are part of the material itself and not imperfections or blemishes, and have no effect on play.

C3yoyodesign – Flawless
This wide-bodied off string yo-yo is the new signature model of Rei Iwakura, the champion who needs no introduction.
Rei’s first signature model as a sponsored member of the C3 team was designed to set the new standard for off string yo-yos. Before joining the C3 team, Rei did a lot of field research, eventually choosing the Neo Solar as the base design for his new model. In order to set the new standard, he took a close look at the size and weight distribution of the Neo Solar. The result is a full 5mm wider and 20 grams heavier than the Neo Solar, giving the Flawless a completely different feel. At a glance, the weight exceeds 100 grams, giving Flawless the most amazing stability that is absolutely crucial for off string players.
Thanks to these modifications, the yo-yo’s texture can be felt when doing mounts and passes. The Flawless flies straight and true, making repeater and combo tricks come more naturally and easily. Orbital tricks especially benefit from this design, and as you can imagine (and see in the official video), Flawless is perfectly suited for Rei’s signature style of playing with two off string tricks (AKA Soloham). True to its name, Flawless becomes an extension of yourself, letting the yo-yo become the conduit through which you express your off string creativity!
Weight (g) 103.5

Recess – Diplomat
Ever the diplomat, this is Colin Beckford’s signature model!
The Diplomat’s profile and concept is a great departure from other Recess monometal, the Joyride. Its distinguishing features are its sharp rims and inverse round shape. Both the diameter and width are on the wide side, giving the Diplomat a sense of speed even when standing still. The Diplomat is designed with Colin’s particular mix of technical tricks and speedy play.
You’ll quickly warm up to the sharp-looking throw, and find it hard to put back down. Although it’s a heavyweight, you won’t be getting tired of it anytime soon!
