The Noema is an updated and reimagined version of the Cheapskate, the signature yo-yo of Song Zihao, the 2019 3A Division China Champion. The Noema introduces several significant changes to its design, including a wider profile and alterations to the shape, as well as the incorporation of Stainless-Steel Rims.
The Noema features a step-round shape with an H profile, which refers to the cross-section shape of the yo-yo. This design choice allows for a wider rim that extends beyond the body of the yo-yo. By increasing the width of the rim, the weight distribution of the yo-yo is altered, resulting in improved performance characteristics.
The weight distribution of the Noema has been optimized to offer a more stable and controlled play experience. The weight is pulled into both the diameter and the width, making the yo-yo wider and less prone to flopping or losing control during tricks.
It is worth noting that 3A yo-yos traditionally have a narrower profile, as this style of play emphasizes intricate string tricks and requires precise control. However, with the Noema, Song Zihao’s style and preference for bigger tricks have pushed the boundaries of 3A yo-yo design. The wider profile of the Noema allows for more freedom and versatility in executing complex tricks, elevating the 3A style to new levels of creativity and performance.
Moreover, the shape and design of the Noema make it suitable not only for 3A play but also for 1A (single-handed play) and 5A (counterweight play). The versatility of the Noema makes it an excellent choice for yo-yo players who engage in multiple styles of play or wish to explore different techniques.
This seems quite interesting it remind me some UNPRLD designs like the Seiji which I like very much, this seems just a tiny bit wider, weird how the stainless steel rims don’t see perfectly “in line” with the body of the yoyo, if someone purchase it please let me know how does it play!
Thanks for that I imagine that maybe was a light trick but you never know in the yoyo world as ideas comes out frequently for now my yoyo budget is at zero until the Klondike comes out but this one seems nice!
I got it months ago and I have to say one of the best bimetal of 2023 considering also the price, I have to update the topic because I sort of forget it but in those days I was playing with it for hours and it is so impressive
