One Drop Benchmark Series

December 3, 2013 By Steve Brown

One Drop Benchmark Series

OneDrop has unveiled their new Benchmark series, and it’s a pretty interesting concept. Three yoyos with identical specs but different shapes…a V-shape, an H-profile, and a rounded, Organic shape. All three will feature OneDrop’s “Side Effects” axle system, and retail for only $60 each. By sharing a diameter, width, gap, and weight they can cut down on machine time and keep their internal costs down, thus allowing for a lower retail price. They’ll also come only in solid colors, no engraving, and identical packaging…about as bare bones as you can possibly get.

The OneDrop Benchmark yoyos are definitely meant to be a workhorse series of straight-up player models, which is a nice change of pace from the industry standard of limited editions and godawful colorways. It’s an interesting concept, and while there’s nothing new happening here in the way of shapes, it’s nice to see OneDrop focusing on a low-end performance metal and taking all the collectibility distractions out of the equation. No word on release date, but we’re assuming these are going to drop in time for the holidays.

OneDrop Benchmark Series Specs:

Base Weight: 63 grams
Shipping Weight: 66.20 grams (with aluminium Spike Side Effects)
Width: 42 mm
Diameter: 56 mm
Stock Response: Flow Groove
Gap Width: 4.34 mm
Bearing Size: Large (C) Stainless Steel One Drop 10 Ball Bearing
Finish: Pyramatte™
Axle System: Side Effects™

OneDrop Benchmark – H-Shape

44FESTA vol.04 report

December 3, 2013 By Rafael Matsunaga

Masanobu Iwata brings us the goods from yet another edition of 44FESTA! This edition was held on November 23rd.

FESTA venue

Look at that venue! 44FESTA has the perfect setting for yoyoing and that’s one of the reasons it’s one of our favorite regular yo-yo events in Japan. Even living legend John Ando made a guest appearance!

A fun mini-contest was held once again. This time, a Long Sleeper Pass was the day’s challenge, with the winner being determined by the lucky player who had the yo-yo when the sleeper died.

The freestyle contest had 22 players, and we’re once again thrilled to see the new generation giving the old-timers a run for their money!

  1. Yamato Murata
  2. Chris Makita
  3. Hajime Miura
  4. Daiki Tanaka
  5. Yuuya Yatani

Check out all the freestyles here.

The crew will be holding a special year-end event called 44FESTIVAL on December 14th, and numerous World Champions are expected to show up for a special mixed-division freestyle contest. Takeshi Matsuura, Shu Takada, Tsubasa Onishi and others have been invited.

The regular 44FESTA events will resume with vol.5 on January 18th, followed by vol.6 on February 23rd. Be there!
