YoYo Spotlight – King Yo Star PAX

By

King Yo Star PAX

King Yo Star PAX Specs:

Diameter: 57.47mm
Width: 44.58mm
Weight:  66.7 grams
Response: Flowable Silicone (19mm pad size)
Bearing: Centering Bearing Size C (.250 x .500 x .187)

The King Yo Star PAX is the latest release from the Canadian-based company. Designed by owner Jeremy McKay, this organic, casual throw is a great addition to any collection.

PLAY

The King Yo Star PAX plays light and floaty and fast, and has a great, late-90s throwback feel. The larger, organic shape has just a slight taper towards the gap, nodding at modern design while still giving us that fat, round, almost Coke-can profile. The King Yo Star PAX is a zippy yoyo, and the large bell-shaped halves produce a pleasant ringing sound while playing that adds to the overall “laid back” feel. PAX, of course, means “peace” in Latin, and this yoyo is definitely appropriately named. The inner cup features a dimpled area that helps with fingerspins but let’s be honest here…you’re gonna be working on goofy kickflip tricks, not trying to suss out the latest horizontal combos. It’s great for kickflips, by the way.

LOOKS

Available in various splash colors, the anodizing is expectedly well-done. The colors are bright and vibrant and the finish quality is great. The King Yo Star PAX logo is engraved on the rim of both halves, leaving the large cup area blank so that you can truly enjoy the anodizing. The overall design is really very simple, which is always welcome.

VALUE

The King Yo Star PAX retails for only $65. It’s a casual price for a great casual throw, and if you like something organic-shaped and fun, the PAX is a great option.

YoYo Spotlight – King Yo Star Rapid Light

King Yo Star Rapid Light yoyo

King Yo Star Rapid Light Specs:

Diameter: 54.70 mm

Bearing: Size C (.250 x .500 x .187)

The Rapid Light is the latest yoyo release from Canada-based King Yo Star.  The Rapid Light is a re-shaped, all-aluminum version of their recent bi-metal release, the Rapid.

PLAY

The Rapid Light is an aluminum yoyo, designed as a more budget-friendly version of the bi-metal Rapid. It’s fast and plays light on the string, and has quickly become a favorite of the King Yo Star team. It’s a great all-around player, handling 1A, 3A, and 5A equally well, and it’s a great choice for a budget 5A competition yoyo. The flat rims give this yoyo a nice, wide feel that helps with 5A catches. If you’re a fan of organic shapes but love the feel of flat rims, the King Yo Star Rapid Light is a great choice! The added step in the yoyo’s gap gives this model a really light response, making it a great choice for extra complicated tech that requires a lot of string layers in the gap.

LOOKS

The fit and finish on the King Yo Star Rapid light are excellent for a budget yoyo. Available in solid colors or two-tone splashes, the Rapid Light has quality anodizing and comes in a variety of colorways that offer something for all tastes. The inner hub is identical to the original Rapid, give both models a cohesive “family” look. Whether on a shelf or on the string, the Rapid Light is a good looking yoyo.

VALUE

The King Yo Star Rapid Light retails for only $55, which seems to be the sweet spot for budget metal releases these days. The Rapid Light is a great performer in this price range!
