ThrowDown Shuriken
Jan 21st, 2008 by $eth
The Shuriken isn’t your average yo-yo. Or even your average mini yo-yo!
Made of carbon steel weights 64g is 1.65″ high and 1.2″ wide. SPYY sized bearing and flush pads.
I got a chance to play with this at Madfest this weekend. Out of the other new recent mini yo-yos I’ve played with (CU, G.5) I enjoyed playing with this the most. the feel is more comfortable in my hand and it feels more like a real yo-yo. Due out on a few weeks.
Yeah this one doesn’t feel so novelty-like. A pretty good yo-yo period.
Looks sweet. Wasn’t so excited about it before, but it looks better now. Can’t wait to try one.
Ready for hubstacks?
Due to the decreased “hub spike” size, hubstacks are not possible on the Shuriken in this form. I would have kept the tall hubs, but they kept poking people in the hand who throw like Jack Rinca (doorknob style breakaways) so I shortened them up. Thanks for the input Jack! I did, however, slap some hubstacks on one of the prototypes and they worked like a champ!
noice…price? looks like a winner!
