2SickYoYos is an American yo-yo company started by Joey Serrano. Joey has been yo-yoing for a long time and when he decided to pursue his dream and start a yo-yo company he brought his idea to the amazing members of the YoYoExpert Forums for advice. With their support and advice he was able to successfully release his first model (The Gambit) and now we are proud to carry his latest TITANIUM yo-yo! The ROOK!
The American made Rook is a full-sized Titanium design that really impressed us! 2SickYoyos has been working on and prototyping for a while, and once you throw it you can immediately feel all the work that’s gone into this new design.
Built for competition level performance, but designed with the recreational player in mind – The Rook has a super comfortable feel in the hand and on the string. It has an impressively powerful spin off the throw and a stability that resists tilt really well through any combo. It moves fast, has excellent spin time, and gives you everything you’re looking for in a new titanium yo-yo and then some!
Green Titanium Anodizing:
Green titanium anodizing is a special process and an additional charge usually applies.
The color is a high voltage (110-120v).
Green titanium can be very difficult and some larger parts will not achieve the color.
Black Titanium Anodizing:
Black titanium is a special process and often used for bolts-
Vacuum Deposition is the process used to coat the bolts.
Black titanium is very durable and will not fade or chip.
Red Titanium Anodizing:
There is no true red titanium.
Pink vs. Purple Titanium Anodizing:
There is some discrepancy on Pink and Purple Colors.
Purple is quite dark and when wet can look brown, which is the color with the lower voltage. Purple can also be difficult to make because it’s a
narrow voltage band. A few volts less and it’s brown. A few more and its blue.
Pink is a high voltage color and is also a different process. It’s not true pink and some customers will say its purple.
Blue Titanium Anodizing:
Blue is about the easiest color to make. I have a process that will make the color deeper though.
Dark and light is the only real difference. Lighter blue is also called “electric blue”.
Gold Titanium Anodizing:
Gold is higher voltages. At the peak the color can swing into a nasty pinkish on it’s way to pink. Therefore gold can only be so dark before this
happens. We avoid this thru careful voltage control.
Gun Metal Grey Color:
Experts can produce this color and is a special process.
