THE WHIMSY ALOHA: ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/e/9/c/e9cf3a5dff9fea41017846d47ca0c9d5baae577d.png) With the huge success of their first yo-yo, The Pokerface, Whimsy decided it was time to give the people what they want and unleash their second creation to the masses! This is the new Whimsy Aloha! [http://yoyoexpert.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/whimsy-aloha-yoyo.png](http://yoyoexpert.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/whimsy-aloha-yoyo.png) [http://yoyoexpert.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/whimsy-aloha-yoyo1.png](http://yoyoexpert.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/whimsy-aloha-yoyo1.png) [http://yoyoexpert.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/whimsy-aloha-yoyo2.png](http://yoyoexpert.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/whimsy-aloha-yoyo2.png) You may know that Aloha is an interchangeable word for hello and goodbye in Hawaii, but what you probably don’t know is that in Hong Kong the word Aloha means Amazing performance yo-yo at an affordable price! And that is exactly what the Aloha is! [http://yoyoexpert.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/whimsy-aloha-yoyo3.png](http://yoyoexpert.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/whimsy-aloha-yoyo3.png) [http://yoyoexpert.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/whimsy-aloha-yoyo4.png](http://yoyoexpert.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/whimsy-aloha-yoyo4.png) [http://yoyoexpert.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/whimsy-aloha-yoyo5.png](http://yoyoexpert.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/whimsy-aloha-yoyo5.png) [http://yoyoexpert.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/whimsy-aloha-yoyo6.png](http://yoyoexpert.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/whimsy-aloha-yoyo6.png) The unique bell inspired curved profile of the Aloha is wide enough to give you that extra stability and angular enough to give you that extra speed boost through long combos. Weighing in at just over 71 grams the Aloha is definitely on the heavier side but don’t be scared, after one throw you will immediately realize the positives outweigh the negatives. Whimsy distributed the weight so beautifully that the only thing you’ll notice is the amazing spin times of this competition worthy throw! And if that’s not enough just look at the super thumb grindable inner cup, the amazing grind finish, and the unbeatable price! ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/9/b/c/9bcd32fb6b6fcd7824de9ac4bbc34e3758d0d6b3.png) It’s time to say Hello to the podium and Goodbye to the competition with the all new Whimsy Aloha! > **[Whimsy](https://shop.yoyoexpert.com/collections/whimsy)** > > Whimsy is a new yo-yo manufacturer based in Hong Kong, and their goal is to tell the public that yo-yo is not merely a skill toy, but a combination of fashion, popular culture, and a collection of artistic value.

Off the top…in a zone… What do we have here, I just might buy a plenty, And, that means so many, so gimmie that Whimsy. First the Poker Face, now there’s one more design, The second throw Whimsy makes, and it costs 45. Not many left in stock, unless many of them sold, And, the pink looks hot, just like the blue and the gold. And, even that green, the nicest colors that I’ve seen, Aloha is on the scene, I hope it plays like a dream. So don’t make a mistake, and wait 'til it’s too late, If you don’t like the solids, try to go for a bape. Peace. 8) ---
