#UNBRANDED STEPROUND UNDERSIZE
Just made smaller.
Undersize specs, full-size performance.
You’ve started to fluidly connect your own combos with a full-size yo-yo. Yo-yoing is fun. You want to keep it with you more often. If only it fit in your pocket… The desire for an undersize yo-yo naturally grows from that feeling.
However, when you actually throw a smaller yo-yo, your usual tricks don’t feel the same. The spin is insufficient, mounts are unstable, and binds don’t snap back. You haven’t changed, but just by switching yo-yos, that “flow” disappears. Eventually, you go back to full-size, and the smaller yo-yo ends up sitting on the shelf.
STEPROUND UNDERSIZE was designed to change that experience.
We took the high rotational efficiency of the “Step-Round Shape” established with the STEPROUND FULLSIZE and brought it directly to the undersize format.
Small yo-yos inevitably lose spinning power. Traditionally, the only way to compensate was to make the rims heavier, resulting in “heavy yet sluggish” undersize yo-yos that still wouldn’t spin long enough.
STEPROUND UNDERSIZE changes the approach.
Instead of relying on pure weight for spin power, we secured it through efficient weight distribution and by increasing the initial RPM (rotational speed) of the throw. Because Size D bearings have a smaller outer diameter, the string wraps around them more times for the same length of string, resulting in higher RPMs upon release. Furthermore, the combination of a lightweight Size D bearing and an M3 axle significantly reduces the weight of the center section. By making the rims streamlined—rather than pushing them too far to the extreme edge—we achieved a balance between agility and persistent spin. With a slightly wide 44mm width, it remains easy to catch on the string while maintaining sufficient rim weight.
The result is a light release from your fingers the moment you throw. The yo-yo follows your movements faithfully during direction changes. Yet, the spin doesn’t die out even at the end of a long combo.
The only thing that changed is the size. The satisfaction of the play remains.
Beyond that, you get the unique benefits of an undersize. It glides through the tight gaps of complex string tricks with ease. It offers the freedom of carrying a yo-yo in your pocket anytime, anywhere. The “nimble fun” that full-size yo-yos can’t provide is now built on a foundation of reliability.
There is nothing to fear.
Your ideal relationship with the yo-yo simply continues.
Highly recommended for your first undersize experience.
