Square yoyo tondo

Reviews?

Good luck finding one. I think Jason Wong has one though.

The Tondo actually plays relatively decently given that itā€™s square. Itā€™s a bit ā€œRSLā€ like in that it moves a lot of air when it spins due to the irregular shape. Sounds like a small turbine.

In play itā€™s like an unforgiving TRVTH or SB2. Narrow with a very small catch zone. Grinding of course is impossible and painful. (Yes, I tried) That said, itā€™s perfectly playable and a lot of fun. You can do pretty much any modern non-grinding trick on it.

Hereā€™s a photo of itā€™s ā€˜cousinā€™ the Bist8. Pretty similar in feel and play.

I found the tondo, but I couldnā€™t find the bist8. Where can I buy it?

Are those smooth?
How long does those sleep?
Does those feel the same as the ā€œregularā€ ones?

They are as smooth as any modern yoyo as well as I can tell. Canā€™t exactly do the fingernail test on them since theyā€™re not round.

They sleep as long as any other modern yoyo.

Iā€™m not sure what you mean by ā€˜do they feel the same?ā€™ Same as what? They feel kind of like an ILYY TRVTH or SB2 since they are so narrow.

Where can I buy them?

You donā€™t. They are extremely rare. Btw, the thread name means square yoyo square :wink:
