New YoyoFactory ALTA & Hardshell yo-yo case!

ALTA:

As a players style evolves and grows so must their yo-yos. With the Paolista YoYoFactory continued a lineage of yo-yo design that dated back over a decade through Space Cowboy, Supernova and SEVERE. The latest signature for Paolo Bueno pushes their design in a new direction – This is the ALTA!

The Alta is a bi-metal design with an impressive chunk of steel on the rims. Bonded almost seamlessly to the body, these hefty steel rings provide the maximum stability and spin time while keeping the overall weight relatively low. It has a fast feel in play with impressive control and stability even through off plane combos. The stepped string gap reduces string friction in horizontal play and opens up the catch zone for those riskier tricks!

Priced to suit competitors and every day players, the Alta is an easy addition to any collection!


HARD CASE:

The new YoYoFactory Hardcase is a structured yo-yo carrying case with a hard durable outer shell. The harder outside layer offers greater protection while comfortably fitting 6 modern yo-yos plus parts and string in a zippered pouch.

Perfect for traveling with a your favorite yo-yos and all the necessary parts and accessories you might need on your journey!

I feel like the Alta kinda got ignored by everyone, but it’s a really interesting yo-yo and plays way different than the Paolista. There aren’t that many yo-yos where the bimetal rim extends so far over the edge!

The only other major one I can think of with this kind of extreme bimetal rim design is the Duncan Haymaker X and it also plays super crazy as a result :wink:

(and honestly I’d pick the Alta over the Haymaker X personally)
