[![Asterisk_Feature](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/7/5/9/759923c70c4da46f0c9066543e96b10c0401803b.jpeg)](https://shop.yoyoexpert.com/collections/new-releases/products/asterisk-yoyo-by-mk1-yoyos) The [Asterisk](https://shop.yoyoexpert.com/collections/new-releases/products/asterisk-yoyo-by-mk1-yoyos) is the latest release from MK1 YoYos, created in collaboration with team member Erick Osorio. This model is a tribute to the golden era of plastic yo-yos, reimagined with a modern edge and precision performance that makes it an instant classic. From the start, [Asterisk](https://shop.yoyoexpert.com/collections/new-releases/products/asterisk-yoyo-by-mk1-yoyos) was designed to embody the transparent feel and classic play of early 2010s plastic yo-yos. It’s soft in the hand, easy to throw, and offers long, fatigue-free sessions—perfect for players who love to flow. But don’t let its laid-back feel fool you—the [Asterisk](https://shop.yoyoexpert.com/collections/new-releases/products/asterisk-yoyo-by-mk1-yoyos) holds its own in both 1A and 5A play, and even surprised testers with its potential in 3A. Built from machined POM plastic paired with 6061 aluminum weight rings, the [Asterisk](https://shop.yoyoexpert.com/collections/new-releases/products/asterisk-yoyo-by-mk1-yoyos) blends premium construction with nostalgic inspiration. The aluminum rings are designed with subtle stepped features and angular drops that not only improve aesthetics, but give each colorway a unique focal point—either with a raw polished cut or custom ring engravings.

Conservative dimensions enhance its control and classic-inspired performance, making it a joy to throw whether you’re practicing, competing, or simply enjoying the feel of a well-balanced yo-yo. The name [Asterisk](https://shop.yoyoexpert.com/collections/new-releases/products/asterisk-yoyo-by-mk1-yoyos) comes from the Greek word asteriskos, meaning “little star”—a fitting title for a yo-yo that shines with personality and poise. Years in the making, [Asterisk](https://shop.yoyoexpert.com/collections/new-releases/products/asterisk-yoyo-by-mk1-yoyos) has earned its place in the MK1 lineup, and just might earn a permanent spot in your daily rotation too. > **[Asterisk](https://shop.yoyoexpert.com/collections/new-releases/products/asterisk-yoyo-by-mk1-yoyos)** > > The Asterisk is the latest release from MK1 YoYos, created in collaboration with team member Erick Osorio.

This looks very good. I like POM yoyos, and POM hybrids are even better. I do wonder how loud it is (i.e., the bearing) during play though. ---

Not particularly loud unless the bearing goes rattly. > [@NuroVolt7](#): > > The cut in the ring wasn’t in the prototype photos. Fascinating! The prototypes had raw aluminum rings, so no opportunity for fancy stripes. On these production Asterisks it’s a raw aluminum stripe cut through the anodizing, similar to the Dynames. ---

In my experience owning one since nats its about as loud as your bearing is. If you got a quiet one, it’s quiet. ---
