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](https://shop.yoyoexpert.com/collections/new-releases/products/papercut-yoyo-by-yoyofriends)” after a Linkin Park song, it was released in the Black Friday Mystery Box II.

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](https://shop.yoyoexpert.com/collections/new-releases/products/mini-hummingbird-yoyo-by-yoyofriends), achieving high A-grade yield and ultimate performance in an undersized form.
