The Alliance is a collaboration between yoyofriends and American yo-yo designer Damian Puckett, born from a long-standing creative partnership and a shared vision of what makes a yo-yo truly enjoyable to throw. Crafted from titanium and featuring the One Drop Side Effects system with an NSK bearing, the Alliance is a premium design built around balance, comfort, and refined performance.
Rather than pushing rim weight to the extreme, Damian approached the Alliance with a carefully calculated margin in weight distribution. The result is a titanium yo-yo that delivers excellent spin time and stability without sacrificing responsiveness or character. It feels powerful yet nimble, long-spinning but never monotonous, allowing the yo-yo to move exactly as the player intends.
Comfort was a primary focus throughout the design process. The rounded profile and thoughtfully chosen size strike a sweet spot that feels natural in the hand from the very first throw. This stress-free shape makes the Alliance equally suited for relaxed sessions or demanding, high-intensity combos.
The Side Effects system adds another layer of versatility, allowing players to fine-tune weight and balance to suit their personal preferences. Every detail reflects a philosophy that values not just raw performance, but the joy of throwing and the unique feel that defines a great yo-yo.
