Introducing the Sengoku Lotus – A Monometal Marvel

Sengoku, renowned for their innovative designs like the Tri-metal yoyos and the extreme rim-weighted Hattori, now presents the Lotus! This latest creation takes the concept of a metal yo-yo with cutouts to an entirely new level. The Lotus features a distinctive perforated shape, with a body divided into four interconnected parts resembling flower petals. Its unique shape speaks for itself, evoking a sense of disbelief that it should even work, but wow does it!

One of the coolest features of the Lotus is the captivating wind-cutting sound it emits when thrown. The resonance of the string hitting the body is uniquely characteristic, setting this yo-yo apart from any other. While playing on the string, you can feel the air resistance like a mini fan, which is truly something we had not experienced before. Despite its unique design, the Lotus surprisingly doesn’t catch the string at medium to high RPMs, allowing it to be fully playable!

The Lotus’s design not only looks stunning but also offers a unique throwing experience. Each yo-yo has been meticulously opened and tweaked, with shims added until the gaps are perfectly aligned, making it a true finished functional piece of art. While it is safer than previous models like the Hanzo and Hattori, it still requires careful handling. Tricks such as rejection or sidewinder-type tricks, where the string touches the body vertically, may result in the string catching on the body, leading to a sudden stop. Therefore, while it can ride on or slide along the string without issue, controlling it at an angle needs caution.

The Sengoku Lotus is not just a yo-yo; it’s a revolution in design and performance. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or a dedicated enthusiast, the Lotus promises to deliver an experience like no other. Embrace the future of yo-yoing with the Sengoku Lotus and feel the difference in every throw.

This is taking the Speedaholic XF "This YoYo Can’t Do Fingerspin. But You Can Do The DNA If You Can! " to another level.

And that level might be “With this Yoyo you can’t stay unharmed. But you can INJURE yourself if you can!”

The Lotus is more dangerous than a normal yo-yo (you know, the ones for weak people :smile:), but less dangerous than the Hattori or Hanzo.

Honestly it’s super cool. I’d love to try it out. Sengoku is always pushing designs and it’s cool.

I have a few and they are the jewels of my collection for sure

is that a yoyo or a 2j collet?

I think of it this way…

Talk to a Chef about all the knives he has in the ‘kitchen’. Ask him what each knife is for?

He will tell you, if he only had a few knives, he could probably handle a good number of tasks, but it’s a waste of energy. Every knife has strong points and shortcomings. If you know what each knife is for, then that is the one you reach for to accomplish the task at hand.

Golfers have a whole bag full of clubs: drivers, putters, sand wedge, numbered clubs with various angles of lift, etc. Regardless of their specified primary function, they are all golf clubs and they are all used as needed to play golf.

Shotguns are awesome, but a poor choice if you are hunting Grizzly bears. A 6.5 Creedmoor with a sniper scope is an amazing weapon, but not if you are just gopher hunting in the Patio.

Following that basic pattern of logic in functionality and application, yo-yos are no different.

Pick just about any yoyo and break it down. Spins forever… regens beautifully…finger grinds… palm grinds… chopsticks, oh yeah… DNA monster… dead unresponsive… fairly unresponsive… responsive… better for 3A… best for 1A… well suited for 5A… very stable… not very stable but very powerful… great for tech… low/medium/high wall/no wall…etc……

Pick one or more strong points from the above, only partial list.

To identify what you consider a negative, is primarily ‘a negative’ because every yo-yo just doesn’t do everything.

There is nothing wrong with saying you would not buy a new yo-yo because it has one or more features you just can’t bother to deal with.

But just like a gun or a golf club or a kitchen knife, if you can afford to have a bag of yo-yos with various strong points, then you can reach for the one with the features you feel like dealing with as necessary.

I have a few Lotus yo-yos… the Lotus is quite an Adventure. It feels good to throw. It has an amazing sound. It has good power considering it’s a mono metal. It’s cool to see through the yo-yo when it’s spinning… It’s very attractive when it’s only a few feet from you(your eyes get a much better handle on the beauty of the design than any image you see on a screen. It’s just different and does take some adjusting before you realize and recognize that you can actually appreciate what you can enjoy about it

Julio didn’t even think about competition yo-yos when he designed the Lotus. He has become well known for approaching yo-yo designs from every angle for the adventure.
His numerous designs over the years, prove there is certainly no dust on this guy…He just keeps coming up with cool stuff to play with.

Some people will say, there is nothing else like it. Some will say that in a negative way and some will mean it in a positive way.

I really like mine. There is nothing else like it.

Funnily enough, I actually love doing chopsticks with it. You can do palm/finger grinds without it hurting you. So it’s not a risky move.

And with chopsticks, you can feel the wind on your hand from the yo-yo.

Mainly, stuff like rejections, sidewinders, and horizontal play are problematic.

How about just doing walk the dog across a piece of wood and making your own chopsticks
