New release from PDX-YO - The LOCUS!

The latest release from PDX-YO is a beautiful new organic with a unique aesthetic - The Locus!

The Locus is a slightly compact mono-metal design that fits comfortably in the hand and offers a nimble feel on the string. The rounded profile draws inspiration from the PDX-YO Batsquatch and features a protruding rim that pushes rim weight more towards center. It has excellent power and stability while still providing a lighter and more maneuverable play experience than we expected from the 65.5g weight.

Releasing Saturday 12/4 @ 8PM EST.

I would choose a different name.

No way, yoyos share names semi often. Plus it totally fits for some reason.

This yoyo looks fantastic!

I really like the look of this.

Should have picked a different name though.

Eh, several recent releases have had names previously used in other yoyosā€¦ Basilisk, Essence, Impact, Codeā€¦ Probably a few others iā€™m leaving out too. Not something to gripe about really. I honestly didnā€™t even know there was a Magicyoyo Locus until this post lol.

As for the PDX Locus - I really enjoyed it. Plays really well and I like the look of it. I threw it before checking specs and would have guessed like 63-64g. It has a nice agile feel, very fun throw.

I bought one, I was like do I really need another yoyo? But this design has just really struck me as special. So I decided to treat myself. My wife was supportive. I am excited. :slight_smile:

Ya! Itā€™s one of the coolest looking yoyoā€™s Iā€™ve ever seen. Itā€™s like a piece of art. I saw it a few days ago, then saw it again this morning and havenā€™t been able to get it out of my mind sinceā€¦ It just has me really intrigued. I went with the midnight blue.

Often I plan long ahead on yoyos that I want to purchase. Iā€™ll often follow them through prototyping and be planning to grab one once it releases. This yoyo kind of blindsided me, all of a sudden I saw it right before it was releasing and DAMN, it was hard to resist.

Currently, the release that Iā€™ve been waiting for is the MK1 Spyglass. The last one was the The End ptII. I wasnā€™t planning on getting anything else in between, haha.

There is no competition, and PDX is right to bring some light to the name Locus. The myy locus is a pile of hot trash. I gave mine to my 4yo and Iā€™m hoping he destroys it. Thing spins for like 30 seconds max, feels like the weight is in all the wrong places.

I know Iā€™m off topic but I gotta defend the MYY Locus with a large C bearing. It was one of my first metals years ago and my EDC off and on and I still love it. To be fair, I donā€™t remember much about how it played responsive.

Wow! This is how to do solid colors. :heart_eyes: I love these shades of green. The Locus just joined my Phidias and Batsquatch. All are such great yoyos. Salute!

Anyone else think it looks like they forgot to put bi-metal SS rings on it :sweat_smile::joy:

If they come out with a ā€œBi-metal Locusā€ Iā€™ll definitely find that pretty humorous :joy:

I think this type of stepped rim design predates bi-metals. Galactic Goose, anyone? :man_shrugging:

Probably :man_shrugging:t5: I wouldnā€™t know :joy: I was just stating my initial first thoughts After seeing it for the first time :joy:
But thatā€™s an interesting lil tidbit either way :grin:
