New release from 66Percent - The 66% PYRO!

[YoYoExpertGarrett]

The 8th design from 66percent is a legendary design from Swiss yo-yo brand HSPIN - This is the 66% Pyro!

When the original Pyro was released it was a bestselling model that sold more than 1000 units, a turning point in the yo-yo scene at the time. So it only makes sense to commemorate this special yo-yo.

The biggest difficulty in getting the PYRO to 66 percent was how to reproduce the iconic red Pyro. In the 66% series, there is an unspoken rule that aluminum mono-metals were to be replaced by stainless steel, but with the Pyro, there was no way to make the stainless steel to be red, so they went with a bi-metal design. And it plays AMAZING!

With the classic Pyro engraving, vibrant red ano, and impressive performance the 66% Pyro is an excellent contender for best pocket yo-yo of 2020!

Releasing Friday 5/29 @ 8PM EDT.

66% Pyro

That must be a render because the gap of the 66%er is considerably wider than the gap of the full-size Pyro X in that image, which clearly isn’t the case in reality.

Looks like left might be old Pyro?

Edit-says 66% Pyro, not Pyro X. Yoyos had tiny gaps back then

[zslane (ClockMonsterLA)]

Oh, good catch! My brain just assumed it was a 66% Pyro X.

Did the original Pyro really have a sub-4mm gap???

Idk but here’s a gap pic from yoyowiki

[Legit_yoyostrings (Landis Johnston)]

this is one of the sickest 66% yoyo yet

[AndreBoulay (André Boulay)]

I really think this is one of the coolest looking yoyos ever. And it plays incredible.

[WorkFromHome]

Yeah, that looks like a first edition Hspin Pyro for comparison based on the flame pattern and dark red/red coloration. The gap was approx. 4mm since it was running on a D-sized bearing. The new iYoYo Pyro has a modified shape, C bearing, and the flames are no longer in the center of the gap.

These new 66% Pyros look super nice though!

[zslane (ClockMonsterLA)]

The 66% version is listed as having a gap of 4mm, and in the image above its gap is visibly wider than the original Pyro’s gap as shown, so I think there must just be some Photoshop mis-scaling going on there. Either that or the gap in the 3D model is wrong…

I’ve been waiting for these to drop! Just when I told myself “ok you spent enough during quarantine” the 66% Pyro appears

Wondering if I can get my fingers in there to do mini ripcord starts like I used to do on the Aoda Littles.

[Myk_Myk]

I had that green AYYC one, and sold it for $400 on ebay not too long ago to someone in Switzerland.

This mini version looks super cool!

[d4nnyb0yy (FSYB Mod.)]

Got one a few days ago, it is very cool. Can’t wait to see what colors YYE has.

[bobafret]

It’s so tiny! Play is really fun and looks so sharp next to its big brother!

[AngryGumball]

Can’t wait for mine to get here, though I’m on pins & needles right now hoping my package arrives safely as mail trucks have been getting looted.

[yoyoknight]

It does look sharp. Can you compare how it plays to any other 66%? Like maybe the 66% sleipnir or EB 66%?

[d4nnyb0yy (FSYB Mod.)]

I, personally feel that most of the 66% feel very similar

[d4nnyb0yy (FSYB Mod.)]

I just traded my shutter today.

[MoonageMin (Min Park (Team Playaz))]

ooh your thoughts on the 66% Sleipnir?

[AngryGumball]

My little shutter and Pyro are our for delivery today… Excited, will hopefully take my mind off of the recent events going on nationally.

I will be the owner of 5 66% throws now… Currently owning the barracuda, haymaker, edge beyond. The Edge Beyond is currently my favorite of the bunch but they all feel unique in their own way.
