June 12, 2018 By Steve Brown

Pretty amazing to see a quadruple team announcement from yoyoing.ru! Enjoy some really good yoyoing from Leonid Nemchik, Lazar Medvedev, Sergey Bukanov, and Levon Chatian.

June 6th is known across the world as International Yo-Yo Day, but tonight we have something even more precious to celebrate. Four new names are announced to join the team we value the most, marking the biggest yoyoing.ru expansion in the last decade. Through the years we witnessed these players becoming the strongest representatives of modern Russian yo-yo scene; we were proud to see them growing into National champions, developing their own styles and mastering the play – and wish them to become a part of something bigger. Tonight four of our closest friends became teammates we are eager to share the future with. We highly recommend watching this in 4K – and don’t forget to drop us a like, comment this video and subscribe for more videos, that helps us a lot!

One Drop Announces 2014 Benchmark Series

November 12, 2014 By Steve Brown

One Drop 2014 Benchmark Series

One Drop has officially announced their 2014 Benchmark Series, the newest models in their budget performance line of yoyos with their Side Effect™ replaceable axle system. Check out their statement and full specs below!

We started the Benchmark Series in 2013. Our goal was to provide high-value Side Effect yo-yos that were our take on the standard shapes/ideas for that year. Three different shapes were released that all shared the same width, diameter and weight.

2014 is coming to a close and the new Benchmarks Series will be releasing.

The basic idea is the same, but we feel we have pushed the envelope even further in a few ways.

*This year there will be four shapes all sharing the same width, diameter and weight: W,H,O,V(left to right in photo).

*They all feature a variation of the “Drop Step” weight distribution seen on the Cascade and Summit.

*The width is 1 mm bigger.

*The diameter is 1 mm smaller.

*The shipping weight is 1 gram lighter.

*They all come with a new Side Effect: Flat Caps, which weigh in at 3.3 grams.

One Drop 2014 Benchmark Series

In general the play characteristic could be described as faster than the 2013 models. Even though they might look similar from a profile view, the weight distributions are much different and they play a lot different. These aren’t meant to replace the 2013 models.

We admit that what we called the “V” in 2013 could have probably been more accurately described as a Wing shape. This year we have added a true “V” shape and are calling the shape similar to the 2013 “V” the “W” for Wing. Hope that isn’t too confusing  (2013 model names will not be changing).

We have found ways to make these even more efficiently (with no sacrifice to quality) so the starting price for solids will be $58!

More value, more choices, more fun.

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

OneDrop Benchmark – Organic

OneDrop Benchmark V-Shape
