Slipstream is Yoyofriends’ full stainless steel performance model, developed from the Damascus FS and refined for pure speed and precision. Stainless steel brings a hard and crisp feel that sets this yo-yo apart from traditional aluminum designs. Every movement is direct and controlled, giving players an immediate response that rewards fast transitions and technical accuracy.
Built with a classic V shape and a carefully tuned weight distribution, Slipstream feels like it cuts through the air with reduced resistance. This is the inspiration behind its name and the defining character of its play. On string, it delivers a fast, linear movement with impressive stability that holds through long, demanding combos.
Full-sized stainless steel yo-yos are rare, and Slipstream was created to make this unique experience more accessible. It is a perfect choice for players who want sharp control, clean speed, and the distinct feel only stainless steel can offer.
Gotta admit, the material (stainless stell!) specs (particularly keeping the weight to a reasonable level, presumably because it’s super thin), shape, size and aesthetics are incredible.
At about what I think would be approximately 1/3 the price of a yo-yo of similar specifications, but made from titanium… I think if this one plays anything like it looks… And considering the fact that yo-yo friends doesn’t release any lame yo-yos… This looks like one hell of a deal.
Even if by a horrible miracle of sadness, this yo-yo turned out to be not that hot so to speak…
It would still be absolutely the best looking paperweight you could have on your desk even if your desk was the size of a pool table. That torched option looks simply outstanding.. It’s almost a must buy just because of the visual impact.
But there’s no doubt the visual impact of this yo-yo is just a starting point. I would bet good money and I’m not a gambler… But I would bet good money. This yo-yo is definitely worth the money.
It’s 3 AM where I’m at right now and I thought I was kind of falling asleep because old people do that, lol
But when I saw the stainless yo-yo, my eyes open so big I think my eyeballs actually touched my eyebrows! Obviously, I can’t prove that because nobody was looking at me when it happened, lol
