Yoyofriends embarked on a journey into compact and undersized yoyos, with notable releases like the Baryon, stainless steel Koi, and the all-titanium TiNY. Driven by a commitment to performance ingrained in their DNA, they sought to explore undersized throws with a focus on enhancing playability. Opting for their signature 7068+SS construction, they confronted the challenge of decreasing power and stability in smaller yoyos by prioritizing rim weight, ultimately choosing cost-effective yet dense brass over copper.
The initial prototype, fashioned after the iconic Hummingbird, demonstrated exceptional performance but faced challenges in achieving a high A-grade yield. The second prototype, inspired by the TiNY, showcased impressive power and stability but lacked the nimbleness and unique feel of the Hummingbird in its bimetal form.
Through thoughtful tweaks to the first prototype’s design, Yoyofriends successfully produced the Mini Hummingbird, boasting high A-grade yield and presenting an ultimate performance offering in the realm of undersized yoyos.
Yoyofriends hopes you enjoy the Mini Hummingbird, their ultimate performance offering in an undersized form.
The Yoyofriends’ iconic Hummingbird is back in all new colors and styles!! - Yellow with purple rings, Gunmetal with blasted rings, Olive with brass rings, Moon Rock edition, and Olive with copper rims!!
The Hummingbird moves fast and nimble just like the bird it’s named after. With a comfortable yet performance-driven feel on the string this is an excellent choice for any yo-yo player!
Man that mini hummingbird looks so cool. Debating if I need more undersized yoyos. I’m kinda starting to turn into a yoyofriends fanboy after getting a Peregrine and Baryon.
@AndreBoulay@YoYoExpert@YoYoExpertEric Check the Timer Drop Clock. Its currently set to go off at 9pm Eastern, probably needs to be adjusted for Daylights Savings I’m guessing
