so I got my hands on a prototype yo-yo from prohibition. and I don’t know much about it except for the specs that the user I got it from on here which only shows basically measurements in weight. I tried to message the owner of prohibition, but that’s been no luck.
This yo-yo is fantastic, and then honestly, it’s one I keep in my pocket since I got it. I’ve been practicing with this one a lot. It has a little Fingernail vibe because, unfortunately, the person I got it from maybe hit the ground or maybe somebody he got it from has hit the ground with it, so there is some dings.
The only thing I’m trying to figure out was what metal it’s made from. I’m assuming the rims are stainless steel, but I’ve been trying to figure out what kind of aluminum it is.
I wish the owner of the company would get back to me, but unfortunately that’s probably not gonna happen. but so far I’m enjoying this yo-yo.
gotta be honest with you too. I only paid $20 for this thing. I need to find more yo-yos at the $20-30 yo-yo’s that are this good, cause I like yo-yos, but I’m tired of paying 80, 90, 100 I think I might be just looking for used yo-yos at this point
I don’t think I have seen the materials for that proto listed. For that matter, the fact that the Speakeasy was 7068 was not really emphasized on the website.
Kyle was very focused on pushing the limits of materials, so it makes sense that 7068 was used again. Seems to be on hiatus in general, but you might try their personal Instagram account. Last updated in March 2026.
I did find him on Facebook earlier today. Haven’t used him in a while, so I did send a message and some pictures of the prototype and ask him what the name was gonna be a bit and materials. I have messaged him on Instagram many times. I get it, he’s busy. I just wanted a little more information on the yo-yo.
