YoYoFriends created the Sunbird to give people a more accessible and affordable option while still keeping the feel and performance everyone loved in the Hummingbird. They started with the basic Hummingbird competitive v-shape profile and tweaked the weight distribution to maximize the performance in an all aluminum form. Right from the first throw you’ll notice the same light and powerful feel on the string that the Hummingbird is known for. It has great stability and spin power, and if you’re looking for speed you’re really in luck! The Sunbird is fast, maybe the fastest yo-yo that YoYoFriends has released so far!
Thank you! I think yoyoexpert has their own measurements and method. Which I respect. Also I assume you tried our player Williams’, how do you like it?
Yep! I’m still fairly noob and have a rather small collection so can’t go much into details but I did get to try it next to the Hummingbird and Raytracer thanks to Williams.
Honestly, all played great even though I think I liked the feel of the Hummingbird the best.
Here’s my rational for choosing the Sunbird:
The Sunbird didn’t feel underpowered at all compared to the two other bi-metals.
The yoyo overall felt good for the couple tricks I tried, I really liked the shape and feeling in hand.
I like Yoyofriends communication and the team seems like genuinely cool people
I’m a noob and not ready for a bi-metal as I still hit my yoyos on the ground all the time.
I was looking for an upgrade for the current v-shape of my collection (MYY Y01 Node which I plan to give away) and this is perfect.
