Hydrangea’s first copper alloy yo-yo, Lycoris. A yo-yo made entirely of copper alloy is extremely rare (the first as far as we know) and that alone is enough to attract interest, but it is not just the use of copper alloy that makes it a highly finished yo-yo. Once you use it, you will surely be captivated by the charms of this yo-yo.
Since it is RAW (raw metal condition without coloring), I thought it would be a more bronze color, but the actual coloring is very beautiful, almost golden (Sorry I couldn’t take a better picture!). The curved beauty of the shape seems to enhance it even more, and it shines beautifully from any angle. The luster will be further enhanced by polishing, or you can enjoy the aging process by leaving it alone to develop a patina. It is a yo-yo for adults that can be made to look like a vintage item.
Weighing only 60.5 grams, it is very light, yet it is not floaty and has a responsive feel and presence. It is a rare model that succeeds in combining contradictory elements. It can perform any trick or combo with plenty of room to spare, and the graceful way it moves is unique to Lycoris. We hope you will enjoy this completely new yo-yo experience, which is different from bimetal, full titanium, full stainless steel, etc., even among high-end models. (It’s really, really good!)
