Heyo

I got an uppercut recently and I LOVE it!!  
What I wanted to know is how similar it plays to the knockout, since they’re different materials and shapes.

TIA, Baxter

Hi Baxter! - Glad you love the Uppercut! - It is honestly my everyday go to throw! 🙂

The Uppercut was actually inspired by an older YoYoFactory Model called the TOO HOT which I also have used to compete with. The Uppercut is a slimmer updated modern version of that that can handle anything you throw at it for a lower price point as well!

The KO (KnockOut) is a totally different beast in my opinion! - It is a Full Organic Shape inspired by the YoYoFactory Titanium Ricochet! - It is a larger version and Bi-Metal! - It packs a punch while at an extremely affordable price for a bi-metal! - Also I am a sucker for organics so the KO is also in my daily throw Lineup! 🙂

Ok thanks! I didn’t know if they had any similarity or if they were two completely different designed yoyos, so thanks for clearing that up Eric!!
