yoyofriends continue to explore and master the design and usage of various materials, establishing a foundation for their future releases with a wider range of options. The choice to create the SS Koi as their first full stainless steel yoyo showcases their commitment to innovation.
Stainless steel, with its high density surpassing aluminum and titanium, presents unique challenges in manufacturing, requiring thin walls and precise craftsmanship. However, yoyofriends decided to leverage the organic shape and versatility of the Koi design, adapting it to the slightly undersized nature of stainless steel.
The SS Koi yoyo marks yoyofriends’ entry into the realm of D-bearing yoyos. The smaller D bearing enhances power and spin speed, aligning perfectly with their performance-driven culture. The SS Koi delivers a powerful, stable, and flowy experience, blending performance, fun, and specialty within its organic and undersized form.
