A slimline, aluminum beast. I had a chance to throw this at BAC this year and its very well distributed. Solid feel. And like all SPYY, extremely smooth on the string.

It also comes with 2 bearings. A regular C and a “skinny” C, for that snappy responsive play Ed loves.

Again, the Flying V follows in the Addicteds’ footsteps by offering the every popular C bearing. Also a silicone groove that fits groove pads or you can silicone it yourself.

One of the dopest yo-yo art projects ever!

Paul Escolar put together a limited edition of 11 “Hornstacks”. Now you can make any yo-yo look like the CLYW logo. All hand cast and numbered by Escolar.

No word on how these will be sold/distributed, regardless I’m going to need to get my hands on a pair.
Check out the process over @ PaulEscolarisDrunk.com.

I don’t know much about Japan Technology, or its new yo-yo, the Kamui. But it looks awesome.

It’s a machined plastic yo-yo, but I’m really interested in the hex nut they fit into it. One problem with some machined plastic yo-yos is they thread right into the plastic and you end up stripping the plastic.

It also has a really interesting shape, an off string h-shape.

And it also uses metal spacers, another good thing for machined plastic yo-yos.

Vulto was founded back in 2002 with the goal of making a high performance, low cost yo-yo available in Brazil.

Now Vulto is back with a new direction, this time with a plastic yo-yo for the players. The Vero is set to release worldwide in July. The picture doesn’t reveal a lot about the yo-yo. But from what I have seen from other, unreleased pictures it’s going to be a real player, and one of the best looking yo-yos out.
