Featherspin Throws

Introducing “Corvus” : Prototype 1

The dance of a yoyo is like the graceful descent of a falling feather, delicate yet purposeful. It moves with a rhythm that mimics the wingbeats of a bird—each throw, each catch, a movement of intention, a call to the sky. Yoyoing, much like a bird’s mating dance, is a communication of passion, a form of expression that speaks without words, yet speaks volumes.

Today, I share with you the first prototype of the Corvus. Named after the crow, a bird that symbolizes adaptability and intelligence, the Corvus is built to dance with gravity, and to embrace the flow. The Corvus nods to the birds that soared before it, yet its design sings a new song. Think of it as nature’s hybrid vigor— blending lineage into something wholly

Featherspin Throws is a merely a passion project born for the art of yoyoing. This is just a start, but if the way of the birds has taught us anything, it’s that every great journey begins with a single, powerful wingbeat.

Oh, ok. I was surprised by the weight at those dimensions, but I see how chunky it is looking at the pics again. Interesting weight distribution!

I am curious of what color way ya’ll would want to see when it eventually goes to production. Right now i am thinking
Acid wash brown
Clear with black splash
acid wash or splash light purple
or an Oatmilk color

A crow begs for some kind of black colorway…or anticolorway, if you will.

That would be cool! Also this throw just looks very interesting in general. Nice work! Do you have a price estimate yet?

I think airbrushing is a very cool idea, I can’t really think of anything since the OG Peak. I am sure there have been some but none come to mind.

Also, anodization stenciling if the anodizer is skilled in that, like, black crows on a pink yoyo or something

I don’t have a firm price but it is going to be in the ball park of 60-90$! I am trying to keep cost/ any mark up low because I am mostly doing this a passion project and something cool for the community. Still working out the details!

Made locally, or in China?

If made in China, you will need to adjust prices a heck of a lot…

Definitely sign me up for a production one.

What colors will you be doing?

I’d be down for Acid Wash brown if you do any in that. Especially if your anodizer could in any way mimic this swirl acid wash, but if not, regular acid wash for sure
