PLAY

The YoYofficer Orbis is big, wide, and built for modern play. This full-sized yoyo features heavy rim-weight for long spins and great stability, a concave side area for finger spin tricks, and an angled and minimized response wall for long spin times and horizontal play. The Orbis design is pretty much a “greatest hits” of all of the design elements that modern players demand for competition-grade yoyos, and with a budget price of only $50! Yoyofficer has made a name for themselves with high performance at low prices, and the Orbis is the latest model to uphold that ideal.

LOOKS

YoYofficer creates budget models for modern players, but they don’t cut corners on their anodizing. The color and finish quality on their yoyos is fantastic, and some of the best we’ve seen coming out of China factories. Multi-color fades and splashes are done well, and their color choices look great in the hand and while spinning. The Orbis doesn’t have any engraving, making it a no-frills yoyo built for players, not collectors.

VALUE

The Orbis hits shelves for only $50, making it a great deal for players looking for that perfect competition yoyo for their play style. The Orbis is a great player for the price, and is a great option for 1A and 5A players.

  1. 1-I deserve it beacuse i’ve never won a draw or free yoyos so maybe i have a chance this time ???

    2-And i deserve it beacuse i do.

  2. i deserve this yoyo because it will be played with care and will try my hardest not to ding it….HA ! yeah right ! ill play with this thing till them rims are raw! lol

  3. Because I will further multiply my potential, and this yoyo will help make my fingerspins and pretty much everything else better.

  4. My birthday is upcoming this week. And I’ve been working hard on my finger grinds recently. This yoyo looks stunning and amazing. Since I had never tried a yoyo officer, this would definitely make a great birthday present.

  5. The last yoyo I threw was a Duncan Super Tournament Top, which I still have. I think I deserve to step into the 21st century.

  6. i need a new modern yoyo its been awhile since I’ve gotten a newer one from the past 5 years or so.

  8. I’ve been looking to get a really cool yoyofficer throw since forever but because I dropped every cent I have on my college education I won’t be able to afford it any time soon. This yoyo will help me improve my play and can be a daily throw for me for many months to come. Do I deserve it any more than anyone else in the world? No, but I sure would love to have it.

  9. I’ve been looking for a great yoyo to do finger spins and quick, speed combos. This yoyo looks amazing! The sheer look of it dazzles the eye. The hubs will improve my finger spins and make me a better player! I’m going to use one at Cal States 2014!

  10. It looks amazing. Why do I deserve it? I guess no one REALLY deserves it. If I had to come up with a reason, it’d be that I love the Yoyofficer yoyo’s. I only have the Jaeger, but their low pricing yet high quality simply amazing. My reason for wanting the Orbis is that most yoyo’s I have right now aren’t really “common” yoyo’s, but more odd or fun throws. The Orbis would be great too, as I’m starting to learn fingerspins.

  13. More finger spin is better than less
    because if there’s more less stuff,
    then you might want to have some more.
    But then, your parents won’t let you because you have other yoyos.
    If you really like something, you’ll want more of it.
    We want more,
    We want more,
    Like, you really like it,
    We want more.

  14. This is an awesome yoyo and I should get it because I’ll try to play 5a blindfold and fail wi it causing me to wonder how amazing steve brown really is.

  15. I would give that throw a great home. It would get plenty of attention and love. But seriously it would be great to add a yoyo officer peice to my group. I find that keeping a variety of yoyo styles and shapes can really help develop your skills and figure out what tricks are best suited for the way you play.

  16. -Ligtht weight
    -Im leaning fingerspins
    -I have been wanting to try a yyo
    -Sometimes I’m handsome
    -I prefer lasagna
    -Now, this is the story all about how
    My life got flipped-turned upside down
    And I’d like to take a minute, just sit right there
    I’ll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel Air

  19. I would love to win this yoyo because, yoyofficer make me happy! My birthday was last month and no one gave me a yoyo 🙁 so if I win this one, it would be like a belated birthday present. Then I will be a happy old dude!!!

  20. I LOVE Yoyofficer. I just got to try a Kilter a few weeks ago, and all their designs are so awesome. The Orbis has the same hub as the Aura, which is one of my favorites for horizontals. I’m still trying to get sponsored by them, because I love their wide, speedy style. I think I deserve this yoyo, because it’ll bring me one step closer to contributing their team.

    PS. I’ve always wanted to try a grooved bearing, and it looks like these come with one.

  21. I want to win this so badly because… Look at it! I mean, who doesn’t love yoyofficer? They’re cheap, good looking, and they’re amazing to play. I love anything that shreds when it comes to defying gravity with horizontal. I love splashes and washes. I love companies that give good prices. I love grooved bearings. I really, really like not having engravings. Plus… well. ya know. YOYOFFICER MAN.

  23. I deserve it because seeing that splash made me fall off my chair. The color combination looks awesome and I would love to see it while spinning(in person). Thanks for doing this giveaway!

  24. I Really like to try new yoyos and yoyo officer looks like they make great yoyos and I would love to try some. The reason why I think I deserve this amazing yoyo is that I really love to yoyo more than anything else and if I got this yoyo I would play whit it nonstop.

  25. i remember when i played a game called maplestory and i was the top donor in a town called orbis so it all makes sense *cues x files theme*

  26. I deserve this yoyo because I’ve been yoyoing for only 5 months, and I’m trying to find the type of yoyo I like best, and the brand that I like most, and it would be awesome to try a yoyo officer throw.

  29. I like to play with yoyofficer yoyos. They make really amazing yoyos with cool splash design and nice profile. So simply realy nice Yoyos.

  32. If you feel that I deserve this yoyo… I will find someone else who deserves a yoyo, and give them one too.

  33. I believe I deserve this yoyo because I’ve been wanting a yoyo that is good for competitions, videos, and different styles of play.

  34. Only having an experience with throwing a yoyo for little over a year now, I deserve this yoyo because I have progressed so much in that time and desperately need an upgrade. My old grind machine is slowly wearing thin on the capabilities that I can do with it and would like to have the Orbis so I can use it in competitions. Also I am really interested in the YoYofficer Company and plan to support it anyway that I can through clubs, competitions etcetera by throwing one of their yoyos. I would love to have this yoyo in my minimal collection so I can progress as a player even faster than what I already have. This throw will be a great first metal yoyo for me and also will allow for many years of valuable practice. Hope to hear from you guys soon!

  35. Yoyo’s are very fun toys. I think we’d all agree. We are truly living in a golden age of yoyo manufacturing. Everyday a new company pops up, or a new creative design gets produced. Yet, growth in overall popularity hasn’t reached new heights. I plan to change that. (At least in my immediate area)

    Whenever I have an off day, I usually spend it out at the local park street performing. I’ll throw some tricks. People stop by. We chat a little about yoyos. What I notice is that a lot of people really dig it and want to try.When they ask to try themselves, most get frustrated that it won’t come up with a tug. I try to teach them a simple bind, but they don’t necessarily have the time needed to learn.

    In the coming months, I hope to start a local yoyo club and company. It will be called ART. ART will be a focus attempt to spread yoyoing throughout the Carolinas.

    I probably won’t win a title. I may never get sponsored. But, I would still love to help our hobby grow. If given this yoyo, It would be used to share this beautiful ART-form with the public.

    (Be on the lookout for ART)

  36. I would like to earn this yoyo by taking this yoyo to around town and showing it a good time, you know, showing it the beautiful sights of San Francisco. Letting it get thrown anywhere from Dolores, The Mission, The Pier, Twin Peaks, North Beach, pretty much the entire Bay Area. ON TOP OF THAT….dinner is on me. ;D

  38. Why do I deserve this yoyo?
    Good question,the truth is that I don’t but I do know someone that does…For months my nephew has wanted to yoyo but his mum doesn’t know where to get him a good yoyo i tell her the names but she just doesn’t register it.
    So really I think it would be a great christmas present.
    Anyway good luck guys and great info on the yoyo 🙂

  39. I deserve to win this yoyo because I will use this as my main throw to any competition! 😉

  42. I did not want this yoyo but i tried it… And it’s amazing, it’s suit me a lot of, a most of all yoyos. It’s preety fast stability, good for finger spin and horizontal. After it is there nice color and best bearing .

  43. I deserve this yo-yo because I love to help others. I’ve given away more than half of my collection to various people because they want to learn how to play. It’s my job as a player to spread the joy with others! 🙂 Also, my blue/black YYO Lava needs a buddy. 😉

    Thanks for spreading the joy of yo-yoing YoyoNews!

  44. I deserve/want to win because Yoyofficer has held a special place in my heart ever since I got back into yoyoing. I’ve always wanted one of their yoyos, but have never gotten the chance to get one (I’ve bought too many yoyos in the past, lol).

  45. Roses are red
    Violets are blue
    I deserve this yoyo
    And so do you

    There’s only one prize
    Between all of us
    So I’ll show you
    Why I’m a must

    I’ll show all my friends
    And get them involved
    Yoyoing will spread
    And boredom resolved!

  48. wow to that weight and anodizing!!! i wanna win this yoyo because i want it to be my first metal yoyo!!! even plastic yoyo are heavier than 64g!!! another reason is i need long hours of practice!!!

  49. I want this yoyo because I want a yoyo that can do horizontal finger grinds. I guess I don’t really deserve it but just pretend that I deserve it.

  50. I deserve it because it should fit my style. I have some slacky but fast routine. The orbis is stable but light which I can tell from the video. Hence, not only slacks, but also speed combos will play fantastic with it. I don’t have fingerspin tricks because I don’t have a yoyo with fingerspin design, every time I practise with my capless/stargazer, it always flies away. Additionally, the anodization is decent within a affordable price range. I have seen a lot of players using Lava, Jaeger, Crayon, Eager, and Aura, I like the design of these YYO yoyos but I never had chance to play them. I bought a Kilter once, but it strips in 2 weeks, before I really got into yoyoing (probably because I was a newbie and I dinged it), so I couldn’t tell how well YYO made their yoyos. Anyways, hope I can win this one!

  51. I deserve to win this yoyo because it’s the only thing that can heal my heart (sob sob )since I am a junior now my parents said no more spending money on stupid things meaning gasp NO MORE YOYOS( uncontrolled weeping ) then I saw this beauty realise online and I was devastated I begged and pleaded telling them one last yoyo amd I can do it I can go without getting another yoyo(sob) but alas there hearts were hardened and the tiny spark of hope in my soul DIED (soooob/ cry of deep anguish) then I saw this contest and the tiny part of me that I thought had perished was reawakened and I could hope again please distinguished yoyo lords have pity’s mend my broken yoyo loving heart help me get through this time of hardship and you will have my eternal gratitude

  52. I deserve this yoyo because I fell in love with YoYofficer’s yoyos since the aura came out. Their yoyos play extremely well and I am a big fan of them. I really want to try the orbis and keep one for my own!

  53. Because I just gave my only working yoyo, a $20 yomega, to a friends son who wanted to learn and Im now teaching. Im one of the few who acknowledge the yo yo as the most important toy in the solar system and probably the universe the first thing nasa took to space with the first humans was a yoyo, the yoyo was also declared toy of the century ,last century gone, and that’s only the tip of the iceberg.

  56. This seriously looks pretty awesome. I’ve been hearing a lot about Yoyofficer lately and it seems like they’ve been making some really good throws.

    I deserve one because I’m fairly new to throwing and would love to take my play to the next level with an Orbis.

  57. I want to win because I love light weight YoYo’s and want to practice horizontal finger spins and this looks and sounds perfect.

  58. I need this yoyo because I don’t know anyone else who yoyos and I want to feel loved. Please love me.

  59. Why do I deserve it? Come on, lookit this face. Can you say no to this?

    …okay, we’re online and I don’t have a display picture of any kind, but just IMAGINE a face worthy of winning a yoyo for.

  62. because i need a new yoyo
    my velocity vibes like crazy
    and i can’t get a new yoyo.
    i’ll also spread yoyoing
    and i’m desperate

    • i mean it’s so bad that it dies in the middle of a double or nothing, yes
      that’s how bad it is
      I LOVE YOU YOYONEWS
      and thanks in advance

  63. I always loved fingerspins so much and I think the Orbis would feel amazing to play with. It’s looks like a really solid throw and the specs are just heavenly for my sort of taste. I always loved YYO’s yoyos and their line of yoyos and their players. And this would be my first time owning a yoyofficer yoyo.

  66. I would like to win this yoyo because I think it would improve my skills. The yoyo i have now is terrible. I got the yoyo from ebay it came with a dirty bearing and striped axle. When I contacted the person I bought it from he did not respond and still wont till this day. I even reported him. Now I dont have the money to buy another one. I would like this yoyo because it would give better sleep time and be smother. I hope u take my response in consideration.

    Thank you

  67. This Orbis looks simply amazing! YYO makes awesome yoyos looking simply beautiful! Why should I get this Orbis?Because it would be the first time I win something:-)
