The design for the 5050 came about from a love of mid-school organics like the 888 and hatrick with the idea of accomplishing 2 things in the process; getting rid of the “rock” feeling that plagues most undersized throws and making it very easy to play and catch. He took the diameter of most throws from that mid-school and made it 1to1 after enjoying a smaller ultrawide yoyo called the qubit for a bit. The light weight makes the 5050 easy to throw for a long time and brings a joyful and zippy presence that usually isn’t felt with smaller yoyos. It’s surprisingly stable for its shape and size and the D bearing takes everything you love about organics and brings it to the next level!
Oh yeah I’m DEFINITELY not going to miss this !!! I can’t wait
That galaxy looks so good in the pic! Great shots all around
This a good JoJo.
dude the galaxy looks insane, but tbh the cloudy clear is lookin like a sneaky Ti version lol. now im kinda torn
There’s a lot less of the shiny clears
It went live at 8
Grabbed a galaxy.

Copped a Blurple off @hobbygod’s site. If it was sold out I would’ve gotten a shamrock one here. SUPER stoked to own one of these finally, I think it sticks out the most out of all the yoyos I tried at DXL, and I’ve been hyped for this release for a minute. Grab one if you can!
timer being off made it so the clear in my cart was out of stock by the time I checked out. next time.
Nabbed the blue/green fade…Galaxy was cool but I love the simplicity of the blue/green fade. At the time of waiting for the countdown, I was knee deep in a project at work (thankfully at my computer) but was almost getting lost in what I was doing. Glad to finally get my hands on a 50/50, they intrigued me back then but color choices then kept me from pulling the trigger. Should be worth the wait
I copped the mint colorway !!! it was the last one I’m so sorry guys . I went with the mint because it looks so clean and it gives off a pleasant vibe by looking at it (at least for me that is ) I’ve been wanting to try a 5050 for a long time, I can’t wait !!!
Mint is my favorite solid.i.think besides shiny clear
That clear has kind of an iridescent pinkish color to it, looks really nice!
Galaxy is best, though ill have to see it in person if I like it better than the original YYE fire colorway. Thanks for making enough that they didnt sell out in 10 minutes @hobbygod. It shouldn’t just be the drop crowd that gets to throw this yoyo. As for anyone on the fence, this yoyo is the real deal, get one.
I agree with this sentiment. It’s nice to see a hyped up yo-yo release that for the most part has enough stock to at least hang around for a day or two .
Thanks @Chriscatastrophe @eternalmetal the plan was to keep them in stock across a couple different stores and regions. Our biggest run yet by a lot.
I can’t say I’ve picked one of these up yet but I hope to and I certainly love the look of them. Spectacular.
How many were made total? And how many blurple since I know those were pretty rare.
400 total. Blurple was around 30-35
