It looks crazy!!..well, another yoyo to add to the “to buy” list.
A quick add on:
I usually don’t get the chance to show prototype photos this early in the process. I got special permission for this one, just because the design is so special to me.
But this yo-yo won’t be released for a while. We’re looking at around winter/Christmas.

Update: the weight on the Bishamonten yo-yo is not 100% finalized.
But it will likely be between 67 and 68g.
Prototypes are 68g, but definitely feel lighter than that.
We can get away with a gram or two of extra weight, without it being noticeable because they yo-yo feels larger than it really is, due to the huge rims. This means the yo-yo feels less dense than it is.
And, of course, the extra grams yield power/momentum benefits.
The idea is to get the power of a 68g yo-yo, in a package that feels like 65-66g.
Kind of a fun extra aspect we’re looking at being deliberate with on the Bishamonten.

Is fantastic to see in person. Got my silver lotus today. Exceptional piece of manufacturing!
With the Sengoku Bishamonten officially released worldwide we’ve been getting tons of support from customers and team members alike.
Recently Robin took his with him to Germany!

Thanks man! So in this clip I do a variation of a not unique, but in my opinion underused, bind. Vashek Croutil popularized a version of it under the name “president’s bind”. I think there was a tutorial on it on YouTube.
This variation involves binding directly from a hook. To get that “snap” look where the yo-yo comes back fast, you need to have the yoyo spinning pretty quick, and have a slightly shorter tail of string that you spin around. This means it can untwist quicker, and the yoyo snaps back fast. It can take a while to get the look consistent.
Hopefully this helps!
