The latest model from C3yoyodesign is the brand new signature model of 2018 5A World Champion Sora Ishikawa! The IX!
The IX takes Innovation to the eXtreme! Get it? IX? Good. Sora has won multiple “Extreme Trick” awards in the past for creating some truly innovative moves that transcend styles. That’s why the new IX was designed as a sort of crossover yo-yo to bridge the gap between divisions. The IX was created for both 5A and 1A as well as 4A, and no other yo-yo on the market can offer that!
Sora’s unique championship level 5A style incorporates a lot of big tricks and huge bangers where a larger extra-wide yo-yo is extremely helpful, much like in offstring play. The wide profile gives the IX a huge catch zone for all those risky tricks and the mid-gap weight rings add that extra spin power while keeping the body more forgiving and bouncy on the inevitable 4A/5A drops. With the weight distributed so wide this yo-yo has a lighter feel on the string than it’s weight would suggest, with plenty of power to get through your longer combos.
The IX comes with three different spacers designed for 1A, 5A, & 4A respectively. Each spacer set adjusts the gap accordingly to set the yo-yo up perfectly for your favorite style!
Given the beatings that 4A yo-yos take, I’m a little skeptical of this “good for everything” claim. A bit like claiming a demolition derby car is also good for Nascar racing
