No bearing? No axle? Can’t unscrew? Can this yoyo even play? Anybody tried it? ---

Sure 😃 [http://www.yoyoguy.com/php/gif.php?imagenum=13973&resolution=images\_medium](http://www.yoyoguy.com/php/gif.php?imagenum=13973&resolution=images_medium) [http://www.yoyoguy.com/php/gif.php?imagenum=13972&resolution=images\_medium](http://www.yoyoguy.com/php/gif.php?imagenum=13972&resolution=images_medium) Described by yoyoguy: The B.I.S.T. Bistone yo-yo is a high quality hand made annodized Italian Yo-Yo. B.I.S.T. stands for Best Italian Spinning Tools and these things are definitely the Ferrari of yo-yos. As soon as you see their yo-yos, you can tell that they have been made with great skill, love and care. Each one is beautifully made with fantastic machining - each is a work of art. The Bistone is a bit of an oddity in the yo-yo world. It is a one piece design meaning it doesn’t come apart, nor does it use a bearing or transaxle. The design of this yo-yo is very innovative, being a one-piece yo-yo made from a single piece of aluminum. The maker calls it a pocket yo-yo, but this is not small. It does not include string. ---

It looks like you could break it easy if you hit it on the ground. And you can stick your finger through it. But not a daily player. ;D ---

So why is a fixed axle one-piece yo-yo making headlines? These have been out for years. So what is so special about doing it in aluminum? ---
