The company was started by EYYC Champion and German yoyo store owner Dave Geigle. They have been carried in the US by YoYoExpert for close to a year now and, from what I have read in the YYE forums, they have been well received by the community thanks to their competitive price points and fun designs. Honestly, I did not notice the company until they released the stunning TiGER, a titanium collaboration between Geigle’s company and his long time friend Frank Orben’s company, ILYY. After stumbling across that, I began to look into the rest of the company’s products and working on bringing some in for review. I was able to get access to three iYoYo designs and have decided to start it all off with a review of their latest bimetal, the FiRROX. **Link to High Speed YoYo reviews has been removed.

Yet another reason why this yoyo is part of my daily carry…well except that one time I accentally left it behind when I was going to my yoyo club…felt empty without it 🙂 The wide catch zone combined with the ridiculous amount of stability makes this a great throw to learn tricks on as well as just busting out some of your favorites. ---

I know it somewhat insignificant, but I remember when ILYY promote their bearing seat to have deeper groves to keep all sort of dirt away from the bearing.

Thanks, but I’m good with Capital’s Yoyo bearing seat. :wink: I’m just curious since the bearing grove on my noctu is really deep. I already search through the internet though, and the bearing groove is kinda deep on the Firrox. Make me want to try one. ---

ita a great seat. They bearings slip ff nice and easily and the deep groove is to ensure the bewring sits properly and the string cant slip past the bearing. Its also a great yoyo zeev did an amazing job with it and it plays well. Its also getting rave reviews from the people who have played it more. ---

To be honest I have always found talk about how deep the bearing seat is to be rather silly. It isn’t like there is much dirt getting in there anyways and I would think that a deeper seat would allow for more dirt to get trapped between the seat and bearing. ---

I agree for the most part, I just curious if people still believing that sort of thing. It still a good marketing campaign though. ;D ---

I never paid attention to how deep the seat was on my Firrox, I just enjoyed the idea that the bearing can easily be taken off without a tool yet the yoyo remains dead smooth. The bearing doesn’t just fall off but I can remove it with little effort. Very convenient 🙂
