AITCH:
From One Drop: The H (Aitch) shape yo-yo seems to be under-represented. Even if you look at One Drop history, the H is rare. When we have done it (Benchmark Series) in the past, we kept it only mildly H. We decided that it was time to do a proper H shape.
The main idea of it being “proper H” is that the profile would need to be as extreme as possible without compromising how it played. The diameter is on the large side at 55.88mm. In order to make everything work, it needed to be a touch on the narrow side in relation to the diameter: the width is 39.62mm. We also wanted it to have Side Effects and to ship with a new style which is the Mini Spike. We feel like we achieved the goals and hope you agree.
KRAKEN:
The oversized Kraken has a unique weight distribution which gives it a surprisingly nimble and maneuverable feel on the string. It plays as fast as you can push it without that heavy ‘rock on a string’ feel that some larger yo-yos are known for. The curvy H-shape profile and large diameter give it a really powerful spin and a comfortable feel in the hand that make the Kraken feel right at home from the first throw.
