Every year yo-yo players celebrate May, the 5th month of the year, as “5A May” to promote the 5A (counterweight, freehand) play style. Counterweight style has a unique trick feeling that comes from the balance between the weight and yo-yo. We would love it for you to give the 5A style a try, especially in the month of May!

Thus, our Candy Dice Presents “Let’s Try Counterweight” Campaign!

Candy Dice is a counterweight brand produced by Shingo “Terry” Terada, the 2001 X Division World Champion, and our Shibuya Tokyo Store Manager.

“What is B-Grade?”
In 2009, YoYoFactory started selling a selection of “outlet” items at events. Calling them “B-Grades,” that name has spread throughout the yo-yo world, and is now a common term.
At B-Grade sales, you can pick up excellent yo-yos with mild imperfections, discolorations, marks or scratches. These make them less desirable as finished products, but they’re still great yo-yos and totally playable, meaning you can get a high quality throw for a bargain price. As a result, B-Grade sales have become very popular.

“What kinds of B-Grades are there?”
The majority of B-Grades have small discolorations or cosmetic blemishes from the anodization process. These are known as “C-Types,” whereas yo-yos that are not perfectly balanced and have some vibes are called “V-Types.” Some may have both types of imperfection; it’s always good to double check

Important Points:
B-Grades are outlet products because for one reason or another they haven’t met the maker’s standards for their products, things to look out for include:
-color imperfections, finish may look dull or scratched
-bearing or response pads aren’t well installed or working properly. Often, switching out these parts will address these issues.
-Bearings or pads may differ from the standard product model.
-Artwork or logos may differ from the standard model.
-Other issues may exist, but nothing so bad as to make the yo-yo unplayable.
