I’m excited to announce that the Honeypot, a new yo-yo by Hesh Enterprises, will be formally released this Saturday at the Spirit Yo-yo Contest in Long Beach, CA.
This yo-yo is intended to be a reimagining of my first yo-yo, the Petri, but made smaller, wider and with more rounded edges so that it would be less challenging and more comfortable to play. I designed it while working as a machinist in January of 2020, then slightly modified the design in 2024 and had it machined by my friends at One Drop Yo-yos . I’m really happy with how it turned out, and am looking forward to getting it into your hands.
The Honeypot measures 54.5mm in diameter, 38.6mm wide, weighs 65g and will retail at the contest this Saturday for $90. Afterwards, it will be released online at a future date to be announced Not Now But Soon.
Here is the profile of a prototype, which is unchanged and identical to the profile of the production Honeypot. This is my daily throw, so please excuse how beat and scratched it is, lol.
