Nowadays, “DNA” has become a worldwide trend. The trick of spinning a yo-yo horizontally on the finger has existed for a long time under various names such as Top On, Finger Spin, Tornado Bind, and so on. However, DNA has gone viral mainly on social media, and many famous yo-yo influencers have performed it. Among them, Brandon Vu from Australia (a former Werrd Alliance member and an Australian National Champion) is a particularly good DNA player.
The Cheatcode is a collaborative project between Brandon Vu and Jeffrey Pang, the owner and yo-yo designer of Luftverk. It is a yo-yo specialized for finger spin, and it is so easy to do one that the name “cheat” is a nod to the fact. Compared to other yo-yos designed for finger spin, the Cheatcode stands out from the crowd in terms of ease of use, spinning power, stability, and ease of application to corkscrews and other finger spin tricks.
Although it is a finger spin-specialized yo-yo, it is easy enough to use as a metal yo-yo without sacrificing its performance. The design and coloring, inspired by 90s video game consoles, are also good. The white side caps are contrasted with the many color variations of the main body to increase the number of options, establishing a pop and fun image. This is the definitive yo-yo for finger spin. We hope you will give it a try.
