Designed with Ryosuke’s play style in mind, the bi-metal Blossom is lightweight beast with serious spin time and an explosive feel in play. It moves fast, has unbelievable control, and a powerful spin even through long combos!

The Blossom is geared for 3A play with a slightly shallower gap than usual to make binds and regens easier even in slow spin situations. Fit it with a slightly thinner string and you have the ideal 1A setup!

I just checked, and yep, this is a bimetal Kilter 3. It is … exactly a bimetal Kilter 3! Identical shape, size, dimensions.

Sooo… is there ever gonna be a “C” entry after Apex and Blossom, or is YYO no longer an ongoing business entity?

They keep teasing the ‘carver’ on their instagram

I know there’s the carver, I thought it was already released but I guess not

Imo YYO was HIGHLY underrated the first 2 or 3 years. It was decisively the best company for budget yoyos in my eyes. Especially the $30 Kilter. TOO GOOD

Maybe other companies have caught up by now but I still want to see a Kilter 3(or even Kilter 4) in solids. Only reason I never got one was because of the splashes and acid washes

I actually collected about half the YYO alphabet, the latter half. I wasn’t too interested in the very early releases like Brave, Crayon, etc
