Year in review post here: DresselDesignsYoyos on Instagram: "Another year is coming to a close, and what a great year for yoyo it has been! Each year brings some of the craziest freestyles, freshest trickcircles, and we saw in person contests starting to make a return across the globe! As for Dressel Designs, we added another player to our team, @tomascipra , who has been an amazing addition. His love for yoyo and his good nature really stood out to us, and he has a rare steez about the way he throws. We also released more yoyos than I ever dreamed of! We had a total of 8 runs this year, which consisted of: ✅ The Monarch , a yoyo that hit the community by storm and our most successful design ever. ✅ Kanto series (2 runs, brass and SS) ✅ A HUGE 5050 rerun ✅ mystery gift, a ti ring large&heavy Kanto for some chill vibes at a ridiculously cheap pricetag for titanium ✅ fusion series, a collaboration with the amazingly talented @cardboard_investment (SS, Brass, and Ti versions) Lastly, here's a sneak peek of what's to come from us in 2023: ‼️ Emotion, a 7075 monometal design coming spring 2023 that has something for everyone(swipe for a sneak peek 🫣) ‼️ Plans for a signature yoyo (or 2 or 3 🤔) ‼️A new Collab with one of the most exciting companies in yoyo. ‼️continuing to explore hybrid and titanium ring designs at an affordable price point ‼️ More limited edition designs for special milestones throughout the year If you made it this far, THANK YOU! You are the reason we are still around and are able to make these crazy and innovative yoyos."

A huge thanks to Andre and the kind people at yoyoexpert. They have helped make my yoyo dreams a reality and are always supportive when we are ready to release a new product. Very excited to share with you what we have in store for 2023

This is emotion! Our flagship monometal for 2023.

Specs:
55.2mm diameter
46mm width
65.8g
4.55 gap width
7075 aluminum

Shortly after the release of the assassin we started thinking of what a more normal sized assassin would look like. We knew 7075 would be the way to go to retain some of that indestructibility that youd get with stainless steel. We also knew it wanted to be slightly wider and smaller while still sitting firmly in the full sized category. To achieve the play that we wanted we went with a new style of cup/hub design for us to attain a more even distribution similar to steel. The first prototype came out with our 2nd run of 5050. There was too much center weight/weight in the walls. It was zippy, fast, and interesting to play with, but felt a little uncontrollable at times.

The 2nd prototype featured our signature hub design with more weight moved to the rim, but this proved to be too much rim weight which led to a boring/cookie cutter experience(raw with spike, pictured next to Fusion/by itself).

The final proto kept close to the same amount of rim weight as the 2nd prototype but moving weight from the walls to the center proved to be the goldilocks we were looking for; the fun feel of the 1st prototype combined with the controllable performance of the 2nd. This yoyo has something for everyone.

One word to describe it’s play? Natural.
