The Papercut returns in three new colors including a solid Teal and Blue w/ Blasted rings and the Azure Orange/Purple/Splash w/ Rainbow Rings edition!
Yoyofriends is celebrated its 8th anniversary this year by releasing a budget bimetal yoyo, inspired by their successful model, the Shortcut. This anniversary model features a 6061 bimetal design with an H-shaped structure and bold outer rim for a striking appearance.
Despite challenges with low contact surface area between 6061 and the SS rim, they maximized rim width and weight for enhanced power. After player feedback, adjustments were made to redistribute rim weight. Named “Papercut” after a Linkin Park song, it was released in the Black Friday Mystery Box II. Yoyofriends is grateful for eight years of support.
The Mini Hummingbird returns in two striking new colors! Available in Solid Green and Blue/Purple/Silver rosered w/ Brass Rings!
Yoyofriends ventured into compact yoyos with releases like the Baryon, stainless steel Koi, and all-titanium TiNY. Focusing on performance, they used their signature 7068+SS construction to enhance playability in undersized throws.
To counteract reduced power and stability, they prioritized rim weight, choosing brass over copper for its density and cost-effectiveness. The initial Hummingbird-inspired prototype excelled in performance but struggled with high A-grade yield. The second TiNY-inspired prototype had power and stability but lacked nimbleness. After refining the first prototype, Yoyofriends created the Mini Hummingbird, achieving high A-grade yield and ultimate performance in an undersized form. Enjoy the Mini Hummingbird!
