Well, I guess weâve heard about it now, lolđ
The Fluke is the signature yo-yo of our very own Wes Shuck. It is his ideal design for laid back everyday use, while still retaining a spirit of creativity and flow. The design is entirely the vision of Wes, with the original prototype even being hand produced with Wesâs assistance back in 2018 in his home state of Michigan. The Fluke comes in 2 versions, a blasted and a brushed finish. The blasted version features a split beadblast along our signature âsight linesâ in the gap to minimize string wear and provide a nice visual contrast both inside and outside of the sight line. See full specs below.
56.7mm diameter
44.3mm width
66.0g weight
6061 AL
C bearing
The special edition of the Fluke is inspired by a very unique individual named Johnny Scrabble

Yea thing looks awesome! I couldnât wait to see for myself so I had to post here to read any praises. I had no idea this was such a new release. Hopefully mine delivers sooner than later haaha. Thanks for the posts guys, keep em coming!
I have a yo that is organic-esque in shape but it isnât really spherical or fancy materials like the high end Bowl, Grail, or 000. Iâve never played with one of them fancy ones either so I have no basis for comparison. The most organic like shape yoyo I have is the Dopamine. I hope to get a plastic 000 soon.

Arthur and wes are both amazing just buy it and love it. Honestly probably the tamest FD YoYo in awhile and thatâs not an insult just last few models have been very unique so this one feels more back to roots sort of which was kind of the theme for FD going into the end of the year.
Super fun YoYo often in my rotation. Iâm very happy he rounded it more after feedback. I personally didnât jive with the protos of this one I played at club but the end production version was a must buy.
If I had to compare it and this is unfair cause only a handful of folks have played it but itâs like. YYBC operator but lighter more open and a bit faster in play.
Iâm super aware that comparison is pointless for almost everyone here but when I pulled out the proto operator and Arthur plopped out the prod fluke we both said did you copy me. It was funny. Just similar ideas of going more old school with a modern twist.

I enjoyed your post and youâre right I have no idea what youâre comparing it to, but Iâm interpreting it to say the Fluke is really great. I donât have anything to compare this to, but all the replies are saying that I chose wisely haaha. I ordered one up last week, a brushed, and its supposed to deliver on Tuesday. Iâm so excited!
Update: itâs delivering today but I wonât be here! Iâll be at DXL!!
Nate Wade has been shredding the Fluke on IG if you need some POV

This is the G2 YYBC Operator Prototype that @Captrogers was speaking of and comparing to.
Oh daaaang, that dude is amazing! Iâm nowhere near that level of play, just glad that no one is reporting that its a brick! Hopefully it delivers early so I can break it in at DXL!

Woah thats a real cool shape! Neat how the rims recurve instead of flare out or stop at the apex.
The next question: Do I need to get anything else to fulfill the organic shape category or am I set?

I mean, if youâre talking about getting a Fluke then that definitely fits the bill. But some people just canât stop at 1⌠or even 100.

What are the specs on the G2/ Boomer Operator? @Slestak75 @Captrogers
Diameter on Organics makes a big difference in play IMO

I agree, think FD missed the opportunity on that one. @arthurfoley @Saltman360
Maybe next run?

Got mine from the mail just now and threw it around a bit. Its super nice. Flukin awesome. Before slinging it around I opened her up and gave the bearing a little spin and woooo it just kept going. Fit and finish is beautiful. The specimen is of the purple brushed type.
I just had time to sling it a few times, not a real session. But I really like it. I hit my knuckles on it as Im not used to some dimension of it. Kinda want to get another just in case of somethingâŚspeaking of just in case, I was at DXL today and was slingin my yo around (a different yoyo, not the Fluke) and it ended smacking into one of them bollards. It left two nice, sharp, chunky gouges in the rim. It was so loud the entire crowd âOoooooooâ 'd like when the dishes crash at a restaurant haaha. Anyways, Im gonna try putting a stem kit in my old Cold Fusion!

Dudes, so in this past month I went ballistic on the GAS (gear acquisition syndrome). I dove down the rabbit whole of organics with both feet and all four of my dogâs. I picked up the standards and plus some. Now Iâm nowhere near a pro or anything. Iâm just a dude that knows a few things and enjoys slinging the yoyo around with my son. During a session I rotate through to compare/contrast all the yoyos. Well, out of all the âfancyâ, âbetterâ, more expensive and desirable for (some reason or another) yoyos I always end up slinging the Fluke the most. Itâs flukin awesome. Underrated for sure. I hope that this thing catches on and more get to experience itâs awesomeness.
