From Rain City: “Two Bits” is old slang for a 25 cent coin. Since this yoyo is close to the diameter of a quarter, it’s the perfect name! It also goes with the classic knocking pattern, give it a google if you aren’t familiar!
Fun bit of trivia, this was actually the original prototoype for the loonie. Except in brass, with a size A bearing. Justin had designed it for both brass and steel, but we went with brass, being the less expensive option. So last year I decided to test out the SS design, just out of curiosity’s sake. Through a fantastic happy accident, the shop messed up and put in a size D bearing.
It plays soooooo much better than the original prototype. It’s still a challenge. This isn’t like the Toonie where it plays twice it’s size. This throw demands precision from you.
It comes in a custom coin pouch with the usual Rain City randomness. Included is a few of our new thin string. The Two Bits plays fine with your standard “Normal” bulk string, but a little more room in the gap is always useful with something this tiny.
