Hi all! You may have seen this yoyo on the channels of the big youtube reviewers ([G2 Nate](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8PsKFEBcwg&t=4s), [YoyoJoe](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ozs7xCssjVc&t=3s), [Throws N’ Brews](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2U1hgnj3eE)) but I haven’t really taken a chance to talk in-depth about the design. ![IMG_8247](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/0/9/6/0966488a4b044c09d7adff6b274a1567e752beba.jpeg) melatonin is the first major release from my company, ilinx, and when deciding between all the designs I have planned I chose the one that I think represents the ilinx vision most. melatonin is meant to be an EDC yoyo with no compromises, it’s slim and soft enough to fit in your pocket but has a very trick-friendly gap, diameter and weight distribution. This yoyo is the one that I slip into the pocket of my skinny jeans when I head to the office and it’s what I wish I had on me when I was walking between classes pre-covid. The goal was to recreate the feeling I got from the YYJ Speeder 2 and the Recreational Revolution No. 9. The speeder 2 was a performance beast in its time but the No. 9 is a fun, almost silly looking yoyo which was clearly not designed to be a contest winner. I borrowed design elements from both of these yoyos, added my own flair and then made sure to include the curves and features necessary to facilitate all your favorite grinds. I hate when a yoyo can’t do what I want it to, and melatonin can do everything. Ultimately the melatonin is pure relaxing fun. Hoping to make it available on yoyoexpert soon! ![IMG_8259](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/6/f/4/6f428c5b4f716df30c4575348769c1254da07f3f.jpeg) ![IMG_8261](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/0/a/9/0a92f6ef05baf0a48422326c3e78332ced7b1871.jpeg) If you want to learn more then follow me on insta [@Modern\_yoyos](https://www.instagram.com/ilinx_toys/) and watch these reviews: [G2 Nate](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8PsKFEBcwg&t=4s), [YoyoJoe](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ozs7xCssjVc&t=3s), [Throws N’ Brews](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2U1hgnj3eE)! ---

What are the specs on it? Looks fun! I have a RecRev Fig 4, which was the smaller version of the No.9, my first “premium” yoyo. As a sucker for smaller sized / pocket throws (that’s mostly what I am throwing these days), this looks like a must. ---
