PoryKon brings the next evolution of counterweight performance with the [Yokozuna](https://shop.yoyoexpert.com/collections/new-releases/products/yoko-zuna-counterweight-by-porykon?variant=42264629149886)—the signature model of 5A legend Hiroyasu Ishihara!

A follow-up to the popular SUMO counterweight, the [Yokozuna](https://shop.yoyoexpert.com/collections/new-releases/products/yoko-zuna-counterweight-by-porykon?variant=42264629149886) refines the original design with a machined polycarbonate body for smoother string interaction and improved control. It’s built around the innovative O-ring catch system, originally seen in the Saturn model, offering a significant boost in catch consistency—especially helpful in high-speed freestyle play.

With a size and weight similar to the classic dice-style weights preferred by Ishihara, the [Yokozuna](https://shop.yoyoexpert.com/collections/new-releases/products/yoko-zuna-counterweight-by-porykon?variant=42264629149886) maintains a familiar feel while enhancing maneuverability, visibility, and stability on string. The slightly increased size improves catch reliability without compromising performance.

Very nice counterweight. Probably my favorite aside from Momiji.
